The Alabatross went up in price and popularity after last weekend, so get one now if you can. This site has a few people who may have contacts, but I doubt if any will sell them right now. Would you be able to restore one if it is in a bad way?

The Alby is back where it was since its design at the top.
It was the boat that set the future of speedboat design, with its quality of build and looks, which are still sexy after 60 years. Now you all know why I have persevered with the site and John has put the cherry on top of the cake.
 
What I would like to achieve is to set up a centre for classic enthusiasts to enjoy, I have the lake, there is a clubhouse and hopefully this weekend, though small in numbers it will be the start of a real classic boat centre.

Come along, just to visit even if you cannot get a boat. If you have a classic boat, somehow we will get you on the water.

Sounds like you are a perfect person to restore either a Albatross, Delta or Simmonds.
