Does anybody the best (cheapest) place to buy a sail boat. I have a colleague who is looking for a 32-35 ft Bavaria, he's from Aberdeen so doesn't want to spend any money.
Cheers

If he doesn't want to spend any money then he is going to struggle.

He may relent and open the wallet for something good!

No worries.
I see there's a Bav 31 there he can look over, maybe on the tight side though

If he doesnae want to spend any money why is he looking at buying a boat? More of a money pit than any house or car.
As per the old saying, "only two truly happy days with a boat, the day you buy it and the day you sell it"! Can you get nitrons for it to improve the handling?

The ones he is looking at are all circa £30-35k but they are through brokers. Any idea the best places to look for private sales thereby getting a better deal and cutting out he broker / sales nonsense.
