£5500 sounds like a lot for a second hand boat . that cant be far off a new one can it?
600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.

yeah it really does sound a lot!
And for a boat that old, 029!!
I'm not sure what the exact number they're up to now but i know it's in the thousands.
So why the high price Sophie??  What's special about it?

I think all the numbers below 50 are reserved, it's number 029 because it was 29th at the worlds...

in 9ers the top 50 boats at the world champs get their world ranking as their sail number eg it came 29th at the worlds. the actually boats sail number is GBR 342!! so it's not ancient! sorry for the comfusion!

the boats has ben completly stripped and refitted in the last 8 months so all thats left of the old is the hull and spinnaker pole!

9er hulls dont go soft with age and it all of 20 grams more than the minimum hull weight!

Spill Sparrow, do they deteriorate with age?  Go soft?

They are polyester. Well made polyester even so. Be interesting to see
how they stand up to the 'XX' package.
