Hi Dimitri,
It's only the last year or two where apparently things at the factory began to slip and Admiral closed shop. I've been on several 40's which were launched in 2008 and the owners were happy, I met a 38 owner with a 2009 boat who was happy with the boat but not with Admiral. I've have a blog on SailBlogs which you can access from our web site makanatours.com which may help you as well.
