This is a pretty good story of a guy that bought a 1975 Bristol 27 for $4,000, and after some fixin' up sailed it across the Atlantic and around Cape Horn

Daniel Bravo is an intrepid sailor.
He has done some admirable, impressive, courageous sailing in that boat.
And he has written a very good account of it.
To which I say: “Bravo!”
I thought it was a good story also and it just shows you what a guy with some experience can do on a budget with a small, well made, older, full keel sailboat
I surveyed a $5000 yacht that crossed the Pacific. The buyer picked it up on eBay, cleaned it inside and sailed to Australia. Hand steering with crew the whole way.
Cheers
