Fairy Albacore for sale

Post by Mike Bridgwater »

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121653632105? ... 1555.l2649 I have just put my 1960s Fairy Albacore on Ebay as well as my old Merlin to raise funds to buy a larger trapeze boat eg Osprey, FD, Jollyboat. If anyone's interested I have reserved the right to withdraw. I will hopefully be in the market for one of the above soon.....

The Jollyboat that Andrew is selling is excellent and you will get an awful lot more for your money than with an Osprey or FD.

Jollyboats are an unknown quantity to me. Very attractive to be sure, however I have owned 2 Ospreys before and found them very solid, powerful boats that seem to last. And excellent sea boats. How does the Jollyboat compare?

I have not sailed an Osprey so cannot compare and contrast. However, I would have said that all the qualities you attribute to the Osprey I would say apply to the Jollyboat. I like the lines of the Osprey and the FD too but in my opinion the Jollyboat that Andrew is selling is a lot more boat for your money.
