Out at hunts at the weekend. Built by Fairey. Gair has spliced in a new mast tip. Any ideas as to age?

Re: Albacore 882
Interesting picture as the hybrid mast is presumably the original Fairey style (alloy section topped with wooden tapered top and birdcaged rigged) . I've read about this but not seen one before
Re: Albacore 882
Yup, that is a fairey wooden-top. Jollyboats and I think some 14s had them too....
I have got a jollyboat one at home, but have never used it.
I can give you a fair date for the Albi......but will have to wait until I get home
cheers
