Just sailing
I don't think "single-manufacturer" and "monopoly" are a problem for the class - in general, but definitely not in regards to the sail. There are still other classes out there. If the manufacturer tries to exploit the "monopoly" too much, people will move to other classes. Look at classes that aren't "single-manufacturer". The 470 and 505 come to mind. Those classes get into hardware wars which hardly keep prices down.
The manufacturer and the class need to solve the sail situation before it starts damaging the class.
