I'm in a sailing coop and the standing joke is that the people who source boats aren't the people who have to bring them up to snuff. Hey, this boat is free! well, not really… We're not sourcing boats all the time and the benefit of learning maintenance and repairs might be an less tangible benefit to newbies like me.

No, I'd wait for future technology which has sailboats with no real problems.
You can love sailboats but they won't love you.
You can love the ocean but it will crush you like a piece of straw.

Excellent points for buyers, I searched for my sailboat based on a criteria of Cap screen Ratio, I was looking for a stiff boat, in the blue water era, I looked for good design, good bones, and knew I would make repairs, the major systems were sound, some were old, but could be upgraded, and added sweat equity, my Cal 2-30 is coming together I’m in the PNW, previous owner went to Hawaii, and Australia so she’s proven for offshore, should get me to the Caribbean Davethemmp, from Vancouver Canada

On a say 28 footer, doing some stuff, absolutely. But I'm getting too old for big projects, 'I'd rather be sailing'. Nope, unlike Lady K she wouldn't look new, just fixed and yep, she'd be getting good used sails. Like many people, my stuff always looks its best when I bloody sell! Cheers.

We bought our boat with a bad engine and squishy part of the deck. One winter along we fixed the deck and the engine. We now have a beatiful Victoire that cost us half of what they normally sell for.
We knew what we got into because of a survey, and I know my way around engines and epoxy, so for us this was the right decision. However be prepared to shell out a LOT of your free time. I had to start working parttime because of the boat project to keep my sanity.

Remember: with boat maintenance the time is normally the constraint, with upgrading the wearable parts it’s the money.

Engine question
Looking at a Gemini Mc 105 that has 3,000 hours on the Westerbeake 30 B diesel is that too many ?

Thanks Tim!… The only things I need to fix on my little 25ft are things I broke myself… but I am fairly handy, and enjoy puttering on it as much as using it… I have half the boat in the the basement workshop refurbishing them over the winter. Next up, learn to sail without the motor on!
