So....here's the dilemma. My wife and I currently sail a
Beneteau First
35s5 on the Long Island Sound. We love the boat, though
it's our first
season with her. She's great in all kinds of air and quite
comfortable
for our daysails and overnighters with our two year old
son.
Down the road we planned to buy a more serious cruiser and
of course I
recently got a heads up that a Baltic 43 was going to be
set for
auction in Florida. The boat, already surveyed two months
ago, is in
excellent shape. She's a 1987 and loaded with gear, sails
and upgrades
added last year to the tune of 75K. Only..it was never
paid for and now
the boat belongs, in part, to the yard run by a friend of
mine. Long
story short: I can own the Baltic 43 for 145K, plus
another 4K to ship
it here. That's a huge chunk off of what they typically
sell for.
The problem....obviously a unique deal and obviously too
much boat for
us at present. Do we jump on it for the deal. We WOULD
sail her, she
just wouldn't get the kind of use a boat like that should.
That's not
to say you can't daysail what you want, but a Baltic 43 is
a true
bluewater yacht.
Some of our friends say "you don't buy the right boat at
the wrong time
and good deals be damned." Others say, JUMP! I think the
latter group
just wants to sail her!

I'd be interested in what YOU would do if presented with
this
opportunity. Oh, and we are not really permitted to flip
the boat. The
offer is for us to BUY and keep her for a while. My friend
could easily
sell her for more without my help!
