 Expensive

I would pay 8,000 and foul obtain a similar boat although not as nice for a far les. but it is a gorgeous dinghy. I think these boat builders trump up the hours.

Many of these boats are used as training courses and buoy by amateurs over the period of a course and have no genuine build time or salaries with materials usually paid for by the person commissioning the build along with a modest service fee plus students paying a course fee.

So what is the real cost...probably not more than around $8,000 to 10,000 new with trailer.

 over priced

Hi Just because huon Pine don't make it a diamond.
i have a 36 foot Wooden Sailboat huon pine hull so on. I brought it for 1000.00 built in Franklin area.
you will never sell you dinghy for 24.000. regardless of hours building it and materials used.

Also it is unfortunate that in Tasmania they sell sail boats and dinghy's up to 40% more than what you may pay on mainland. even general sailing gear is cheaper to buy directly from mainland and have it posted you still save heaps. sorry you may get around 8000 thousand that's about it if someone pays more they have more more than they need. good luck

 Incorrect spelling

G'day, Just a small spelling error in your introduction of this vessel.
Should spell HUON PINE .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagarostrobos

This timber is reputedly the best boat building timber in the world .It is a protected species which still to be found in the wilderness of Tasmania. The Huon pine is Australia’s oldest living tree and is one of the oldest living organisms on earth. Individuals have been known to reach an age of 3,000 years. Fossil records from a tree found in a boggy area in the south west of Tasmania were dated at 3,462 years! (Carder A., 1995). Only the bristle-cone pine of North America exceeds it in age.
