470 dinghies prices, brands, program

For leisure: aim for an old 470 from the Morin, Lanaverre, Parker or Roga yards. These boats will be affordable, but will require some refurbishment or restoration. The budget for this programme starts at 500 or 1000€ depending on the condition, the equipment and the level of maintenance.

For a mixed programme, touring, local regatta, a more recent boat, with better performance and better sails will be preferred, a Nautivela from the 2000s for example will do the job well, you should aim for between 2000 and 3000€ to find a second-hand boat in good condition and well equipped.

For a regatta and competition programme, you will need a high-performance 470. A rigid, well equipped and optimised boat: the price will necessarily be higher and you should aim for 470s produced by Mackay or Ziegelmayer.

A new 470 from Mackay Boats for example is sold for over 20,000€. Second hand 470s can be found for as little as 500€.
