I'm looking at this thread with interest.

I'm looking for a 27-29ft sailboat for around $10-20K, and there are lots
on Yachtworld. Trouble is, I'd like an Islander 28, and there are NONE in
the Pac NW (I'm willing to drive to Portland, but not San Diego!). So, I
am thinking of a "sight unseen" deal, of course with a survey, and maybe
ONE personal inspection and sea trial. Then of course I'd have to have it
packed up and trucked to Vancouver (I eliminated sailing it up on another
thread a while ago...)

The US dollar is so weak right now the deals from Canada are tremendous!
