A 30year old A1 woof 5 years ago would go for between £3 to £6k, today the same boat will go for £3k to £6k and in five years time it will be probably worth the same unlike most manufacture based boats.

Becase a 30 year old woof albacore is still more money then most of these "over priced production boats"

Why spend lots of money on over priced production boats when you can sail a 30 year old Alb and still hit 20+ knots for a fraction of the cost.

I have to agree I'd have thought with a wealth of pics to choose from, Y&Y could have come up with better ones.

Not many other 32yr-old boats would look as good as 'Monarch'! Nice to see the old girl still hitting the 30knot mark.

A good shot, but there isnt a dinghy in the picture at all!
