A Classic by design and material, this 24 footer was on display at the Dubai Boat Show. Built locally out of Mahogany and Teak.

Having spent 10 years in Dubai, and watching the locals building boums up in RAK, I am not surprised that the UAE industry can turn out beauties like that.

Bet the timber is NOT from sustainable forests though. The small harbours are full of piles of huge logs of mahogany, meranti, teak, all brought in from Malaysia and Thailand.

It also looks just too expensive to sail!

What price did they come out at?

Looks lovely
A bit Folkboatesque - wonder why they hid the keel?
How much was it?
