[Public-list] boat on ebay

[Mike Lehman]

Michael,

My thought is if we refurbish these derelict boats, they will sell for the 
true value of an A30 and that helps maintain the value of ALL of the boats.

Doesn't that sort of go against my interests as an owner? I mean, if there 
is a movement to keep unwanted, rummage sale value, beater boats in the 
market stream, then the value of every boat is reduced. Law of supply and 
demand, and all that.

Speaking for myself, my attachment for Checkmate goes way beyond 
consideration of resale value, but perhaps it is an issue that everyone at 
least needs to be aware of.

It looks to me, the two sides of the issue are 1. (or perhaps yin) keep as 
many Albergs around as possible to have a pool of boats for one design 
racing status or 2. (yang) let natural market forces reduce the number of 
boats to owners who can appreciate a beautiful, versatile design and 
maintain the boat as such.

I admit it, I'm inclined to elitism :)
