Carl, I see it as there is a finite number of the original boats built by Pearson.
Altho there are maybe three times more Ensigns than Commander/Ariels combined,
the number is finite at 1776.
There is a Classic Ensign built to order at a modern custom price.
I've read that Ensigns are the largest racing keelboat class in the world.
I've alson read that some consider Carl Alberg as not the most 'adventurous' designer
as most of his boats look alike.
Most were designed to the racing design rules of the time, and the idea was obviously to produce a product and make money.

Alberg designs are the best 'of their kind' ever made.
Cosidering thier time in small sailboat history coming at the end of wood and the beginning of fiberglass, they definitely are the best and with some exceptions still are the best 60s and 70s decade boats you can own.

I think the Electra in question should be restored and its number kept active!
