“I’ve always wanted a beautiful classic yacht,

so when I got some money, I took my chance”

OWN A CLASSIC

Classic vessels come in all shapes,

ages and sizes, and need not only be

made of wood. Older GRP vessels are

considered classics and in Europe

have regenerated yacht ownership

by allowing the less affluent to buy

seaworthy vessels. To a lesser extent,

this is happening here in Australia

where classic vessels — such as the

Clansman 30s at the show — and my

own vessel, a 43 year old Contessa 25,

are affordable and sturdy boats; so

perhaps check out the classifieds in

Trade-a-Boatfor your own piece of

history.
