	We have one at our club which is doing rather well. They seem to be great boats, just not white shiny and fashionable. I think you'll struggle to find Impala class racing though.

	I am considering purchase of a Hunter Impala 28 OOD, but am concerned that the class may be in decline. I cannot find results for the Impala Championships which were to take place at Abersoch Keel Boat Week 2010, but there appears to have been only one Impala which competed, ... ... and then won IRC 2, beating a Corby 25 and an Archambault A31! Unfortunately those newer boats are outside my budget I have also seen postings on other sites referring to Impalas left on the hard, rotting away. Is the class now dissapearing? Are all Impalas now better off in retirement, after all the average age must now be 30? Should I even be considering an Impala, now in 2010? Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks E
