Hi Cruisers everywhere. We’ve decided to finally take the plunge and
purchase our first keelboat.
We’re located in
New Zealand and have owned everything from Optimist dinghies, to Tornado catamarans to a 26ft
trailer yacht. With this Covid 19 situation & the fact NZ’s borders are essentially closed, we thought it would be an opportune time to upskill in the big-boat arena.
After several months of searching we’ve made an offer on a Cavalier 39 Mk2, built in NZ in 1982.
She has a new
engine, and the
rigging was last replaced in 2009.
We hope to have the
survey completed next week, upon which the sales
contract depends.
If anyone has any hints / tips / insights as to any potential pitfalls we’d be glad to hear them.
Thanks in advance,
LH
