I love a wooden boat, and you might rightly say nothing comes close in terms of character, however I think it’s fair to say that grp boats like the Contessa 26 and 32 are now considered to be classics.
I walked past a nice Holman & Pye Hustler 30 earlier and thought “definitely a classic yacht”.
I’ve can see a tidy Contessa 33 berthed opposite me right now, and although it’s from a more recent era, I’m pretty sure it’s a future classic.
Obviously with such a huge range of grp boats produced, and a limited market for them, they can’t all achieve classic status.
Are there any particular fibreglass yachts you think will be respected or sought after in years to come?
