very nice

gorgeous looking boat

I don't entirely agree LooseChange. History may have some value to an enthusiast while to you and I it have none. But the actual cost of that bit of history will be subjective to the individual, and age (vintage) may not necessarily have anything to do with it.

For example, If I wrote a letter or my great grandmother wrote a letter it would mean nothing to anyone (not even likely a direct family member would care). If a letter was written by Munro, JFK, Churchill or Hitler for example, it becomes a worthless piece of history to me, but worth thousands if not 10s of thousands to others. I bet any car Peter Brock drove in a Bathurst became priceless the moment he died, but I wouldn't pay more for them.

To be honest, I don't know the history of this boat listed above, but if all it did was a couple of S2H, even if it had done well, its not worth a premium to me, but maybe it is to others.

Overpriced by a long way.
My last boat was a S&S 39 which I spent 40K on restoring.
Sold it for less than half what these guys are asking.
Dreaming !!!
Nice boat though Stoney as you know.

Nice yacht ! Those geni winches look like hard work all right not self tailing ! Plenty crew needed for the headsail !!!
