Does anyone know what the ballad would have cost new in the 70's? Mine didn't have the first bill of sale but it would be interesting to know.

What ho Tom, hope you are enjoying your canary Ballad
. I think Triola was originally purchased for £7k in 1971, so in todays money about £100k to buy new

Thanks for the replies! That was the sort of money I was thinking, thank god for old boats otherwise I would still be looking, wishing and dreaming.
As always, itching to get a sail but lots of things to do over the winter!

Hi Tom. To confirm,
Yachting Monthly's review puts the Ballad's UK 'standard price' at £6570 (afloat Harwich), with a
YM 'Index price' of £7203. That was in 1973, so that would represent +/- £61000 in today's money according to:

Seems cheap doesn't it? £61k? Look at the price of a modern Swedish HR:
