The LPE ads I saw earlier were on Apollo Duck rather than their website.

That's one hell of a boat for £3,500.

Was that a manufacturing base ?   I recall picking up new Lasers from the factory in Banbury back in the day, but that was years back.

I wonder what the unit price is for a fleet lease deal of say 12, maybe 24? 

That'd be one good way to encourage some local class racing... everyone gets a shiny new boat to sail, they'd be booked out like squash courts when that was also once popular.

I wonder if that price is for surplus stock that is being sold off due to the closure of the Long Buckby factory ?

If you put LP address in Banbury, in Google Maps, go on satellite it is a haulage company, unless I have wrong address.

LP has been in Long Buckby for years (I picked up a new one from there about 15 years or so ago, maybe longer). I think they still used the factory in Banbury for manufacturing until fairly recently though, the yard might have been rented out though.

So if I use google maps to look at the LPE UK sites in Long Buckby and Banbury they are either closed or being used for other purposes. I don't see any signs of boat building or distribution.
