glyn locke

pretty rare in the US, and I don't know anything about them. There's
one for sale, built in the mid or late 70s I think, with a lot of use.
I know it's impossible to tell without seeing the condition of the
boat, but could anyone hazard a guess at whether it would be raceable
and how much it would be worth? A google search turned up a lot of
references
to them in the UK -- how would you rank one compared to an Empacher,
say?
Thanks very much.

Some were good some not. By now it would most likely be pretty shabby.
They were fast boats but had some longegevity issues.

I have had 2 Glyn Locke's in the past (the first second hand, the
second new) and now I have an Empacher
As Glyn Locke's are now no longer made it not easy to give a value but
I would of thought early '80's boats (I think Locke did not start
building boats until about 1980) would fetch in the UK between £500 &
£1,000 dependent on condition.
As to feel, they are a very forgiving boat which in rougher conditions
tend to cut through waves as opposed to 'bouncing' over them.
If the hull is in good condition, the state room and areas under the
canvasses are wood construction and therefore if you have the skills
(or know someone who has) it is not so difficult to repair and/or
refurbish

Thank you!
