What is the longest lenth of time a boat has been in production, and what is the industry average?

Gotta be some sort of Broom. Think the first one was a burnt out log with matching net curtains.Byron will know.The styling has not been improved on much since then either.

Enterprise dinghy perhaps - 30 yrs + I suspect, or is this not a real boat ?

Nah, my flying fifteen beats the enterprise, designed in 1947.

Ooops, I stand corrected, enterprise was designed in 1956, but International 14 beats them both, dating back to 1935 (although they are hardly the same boats nowadays!)<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1>Edited by Russell_Brenton on 10/06/2003 09:39 (server time).</FONT></P>

The first Star class boats were built 1910/11 and are still in production.

The Folkboat also dates from 1941.

Surely the egyptian boats still plying the Nile and the gulf or the outrigger canoes of the Polynesians
