The final price of £3850 is equivalent to about $A6400, which is only $400 less than I sold my fifteen-footer Aileen Louisa for last year. So while Swallow might have been a little over-priced by Australian standards just as a normal dinghy of that vintage, giving which boat she is, I would say it wasn't.
As far as the patched sail goes, I think it is mentioned somewhere just like that, without any specificity as to the size or location of the patch. But without going through the series I can't now remember where.
