Where do you buy second hand boats?

But are any of those builders making new Ents? Not that the class reports state. One of the more dead national classes for sure. 

Well, round here it's dead. From what I gather apart from a handful of stalwart clubs its dead

The fleets at small clubs have collapsed, they are lucky to get off one hand, never mind see double figures at an open meeting and its close to bottom of the list when you discuss what to buy, largely because the boats are either wooden and require maintenance or plastic and falling to bits rather than any inherent fault in the class itself.

I still think the Ent has a place, but talking it up as the biggest doubleheader in the world is false - they haven't even had for a world champs for years. It's up there with the advice to a newcomer to buy the fastest boat they can cos they'll be able to keep up with good sailors in slower boats. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but this is being factually incorrect and using incorrect facts to give poor advice.

But, as I alluded, this means you can get a really good one for not a lot of money - but it'll be wooden. Could be why they are seeing a bit of a comeback at champs level, lots of ex rockstars coming back for another go. In the 80's and early 90's it was a huge class.

By the way this isn't intended to be a character assassination on the ent class, but it is about giving accurate advice - one or two of us haven't done that.
