I am aware of a decent one that went for $22k recently. Which seems a rather
better deal than a Seawind for $49k asking.

I don't know much about decent boats. This particular C&C 33 was practically a
showpiece, really beautiful and probably worth 40K based on sail inventory
alone. Seawind for 49K asking has little to do with what she'll sell for and if
she's a "gem" with a lot of gear, she may be worth far more than other
examples. A Tartan 37 recently sold for 20K above FMV because of her state of
restoration.
Still, I find the price of sailboats to be steadily increasing for popular
builders. Especially if you want a really nice example that is better than
decent.

btw, I understand there are Westsail 42's coming asking for less than six
figures today.

I've never seen a W42 in person, so I can't comment.
