Eights enjoy a definete boom.
Enquiries for eights for sale pop in at accelerating rate. More than 20 eights have changed ownership recently. Many of these boats were in derelict state and have now been restored. One of the most unusual places to have an eight must be Fidji Islands, where a one yacht fleet has been discovered. The race is to be hosted by NJK in Helsinki in July 2002.
