Classic Boat did a review of the Albacore in the April 2009 issue. There is a good photo of 6818 used for illustration.

Just bought the December issue of CB and in a reader nominated list of top 50 boats of all shapes and sizes, the Alb is placed 40th by the editorial team (it was not a vote by numbers). The text reads:



'15ft (4.6m) Drawn Uffa Fox, built Fairey Marine, 1954. Product of a classic partnership, often described as a great husband/wife or parent/child boat. Simple, versatile but challenging, its continuing popularity is unsurprising.'



The Albacore is one of only three dinghies in the list, the others being the Thames A Rater from 1907 and the International 12 of 1912.



Nice picture of an Alb, but can't see the sail number. Those in the know will probably recognise the crew! Graham58932009-11-24 10:45:44
