It's best to be able to go by May/June. If you're planning on this year, you should be outfitting and in final stages of planning by mid April. Boatwise, it should be a good boat but needs a careful survey due to its age.

is there an online list of registered surveyors?

I almost bought the same boat as my first. Nice lines, and a good sailor.......
