Are you saying that model is not seaworthy, could not be upfitted for offshore passages? Not talking by modern standards of course, but comparably to say Islanders / Columbias, Bristols, Cape Dory, Westerly etc??

Not at all. It's just a very small boat. Very narrow beam, shallow draft, small sail area. It would be slow but probably perfectly safe.
I'm a fan of small boats, fwiw and have a boat of similar size but a bit more beam.
I think most people would need bigger tanks, more space and more storage; but smaller boats have been sailed around the world.

Re: Boats Less Than $30K Recent Noteworthy Finds
1979 Norsea 27 in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Vancouver Island, $32K Canadian (about $25K US).
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sailboat/nan...sea/1602356787
Lyle Hess design and probably a cult boat in its day. Good reputation. A lot of exterior teak trim.
Bow platform, anchor windlass, bronze opening ports, exterior well cared for, if the pictures are recent, newish canvas and what looks like a full enclosure. Composting toilet.
Interior is very dirty and worn; upholstery is tired. Tiller steering. They mention it's the center cockpit version (with aft cabin).
No mention of the engine, beyond that they're changed the oil regularly, I wonder if it's original? If it is, it's overpriced by $10K.

Re: Boats Less Than $30K Recent Noteworthy Finds
Wow my baby
Skipper Jer, is that way overpriced?
I fantasize finding one in the $15K ballpark...

It blows my mind how much they ask for those little boats. Kinda like Danas and Flickas. Nice little boats though.

On this Norsea 27; my SO tells me that many, if not most of them, were professionally built FG hulls and owner-finished interiors.
That might explain why the interior does not look very good.
If this is an owner-finished boat interior, if the engine hasn't been replaced in the last 30 years and if the sails are worn out, I'd say $20K Canadian would be a generous offer.
Not that all owner-finished interiors are bad though, take a look at this little jewel-box of a boat,

Apparently BC is full of excellent boat wrights!

If you want to live aboard right there, this might be OK. As a boat it's not worth buying, imo.

Yes...exactly and that's one of the cheaper ones. I've seen a $45k asking price on others. After all, they are just fiberglass and standard marine hardware. I did meet someone who sailed one to Hawaii and loved it.
