Looking for a used cruise equiped 30-40 foot sailboat for approx a us
buck per foot. Any ideas? Techniques? I've tried 38/48 north and
craigslist so far. Most of these are worn out craft from the 60/70's
in need of major refit or were never cruise equiped in the first
place. To cruise equip a boat at present "boatyard" or "west marine"
cost is prohibitive. I'm in washington state, usa but don't mind
flying somewhere. You'd think with all these bank problems people
would be forced to sell luxury items. Are we going to see a 70's style
bargain hunter season any time soon? Please don't let this degrade
into a political thread, I just want to buy a boat. What's a person
with ready cash to do?

Coronado 27s will always get top dollar regardless of market conditions.


You'll not easily find any examples of that fine blue water capable vessel
on the selling block. People who own them are so pleased with them that they
just keep sailing them and upgrading them until the day they die. The only
Coronado 27s you'll see for sail have been neglected and abused by ignorant
sailors who could break an anvil.

Whitaker Yachts produced over 1200 Coronado 27s and at any given time at
least half of those are plying the oceans of the world taking good care of
their crew.
