60% hull, mast and spars (including for some materials you already have)
20% sails and rigging (I'm thinking you will want a little more than you estimate now; spare, stowage, lines etc.)
20% engine and electrical (Allowing for some electrical and maybe fire protection)
0% communications and tech (you already have a cell phone and will sail by eye)
Getting the financial issue in view and hopefully within reach is a big step. Now, back to the shop!
