¨ If you are serious about buying a 30 something boat at the budget of an etap
¨ ,better look some place else....
¨ i recently was looking to buy and amongst the various boats was a 27 etap
¨ (for the £15000 i had to give ).
¨ These are not boats for sea these are seriously dangerous crap.in my
¨ opinion.too crambed even though the one i saw didnt have any equipment
¨ except the VHF,all thin like paper and you get a dingy feeling on it.

here you can find 2 etap 30i like new with equipment and price aprox. from
builders

a unsinkable boat is bad for you ?
a condensation free boat is bad for you ?

¨ Try looking for a 70s 80s swedish boat ,unknown if possible,they know how to
¨ make and maintain boats.
¨ i got mine ,a B31 1978 made for less than 12000 and it is a seious sailing
¨ boat ,GRP,with 180 iron keel,3.6 tons all together but most of them go
¨ around the world a couple of times before they are sold.mine just came from
¨ a tril around the world and i plan to take her for another....and all for
¨ 12000 and a bit of searching.....good luck man .and look away from the etap
¨ trap......or bavaria.you need serious boats not looking good but thin paper
¨ ones that will let you down where you need them the most (not in the marina)
¨ m

of course for a old boat like yours i don't pay more than 12k :-)
and how mach money are you spending is adaptations & repairs ? 5k ? 10k ? 20k ?
