Ibetitsthisway · 10-10-2019, 07:30

Ketch
Steel
14-18m
long keel

solid closed pilot house
2 helms
large bunks
preferred custom or owner build with circumvention history

prepared to go into the ice
very solid build overall
good condition
no luxury "tata" but practical
hurricane "proof"
under 200k USD

In other words, a custom built boat for $200k USD. Good luck.

Parenthetically, there is no such thing as a “hurricane proof” boat

I knew you would react like this ,-)

well ... basically there are good boats like this.. but very rarely.. and that makes it time consuming...and thats why I came to wonder that there are in total only some 30.000 boats (incl. all small boats) are listet at the trade platforms.

He is not looking for a new boat and custom made/one-off boats don't hold their value very well. Also it is not a very common set of requirements so I don't expect he will get into a bidding war over it. So it might possibly happend.

25.0 boats is clearly wrong. Maybe 25.5 boats?

no. 100% wrong. see alex_sauvage. he got it

There are absolutely great boats selling between 100-200k from their building owners directly.
but all scattered over the world.

I am afraid I spend all my budget on plane tickets before i get to find the right boat.

thats why I hoped I missed some selling platforms....

You probably know that, but there is a difference betweeb US and European system. In Europe, where OP is from, comma is a separator for a decimal place and dot for a thousand. It is opposite in USA

alex...

I know it ... and they know it too... they just take pleasure in making fun of me.. who cares. as long as one user steps by and has some info which makes my world a bit bigger ,-)

How about this....

60′ de Haas Shipyard Motorsailer 1968/94 – $295,000

Might stretch the budget, but they've had it for a while and might negotiate.

haha...fist I was shocked...but then.. this beast has its arguments as an explorer...

My first thought: they are lucky if someone gives 100k for her

and as we spoke in the other thread..

no anchor in the world will hold that thing in 120kn wind ..lol
