When it comes to purchasing a sailing boat you must first look at what your needs are. For example will you be requiring a sailing boat that is suitable for ocean voyages? If so then you will probably need a more substantial and stronger vessel. However if you are looking for a sailing boat for cruising the coast or use on lakes then your money may go a little further towards a more spacious boat. Next it is also important to consider the size of the boat. Not only do you need to think about how many people will be on board the boat, therefore the berths required, but you also need to think about how long you will be on board, manning and sailing the boat. For example if there are only two of you on board, will you be able to sail it efficiently in rough conditions and strong winds? Of course another obvious consideration is whether you will be buying a new boat or a second-hand one. For some people a second hand boat is the better option, especially when you take into consideration the extra cost of equipment, insurance, dock rental, the annual haulout, maintenance and of course general upkeep. Once you have decided on the size of your boat, whether you are going to buy new or second hand and once you have budgeted for all of the extra costs involved, it’s time to start shopping around. Don’t forget that when you have found a yacht that you like, it is absolutely necessary to have it surveyed by a professional surveyor in order to see if it is sea worthy and safe. Yes, you have to pay for a service this will allow a professional to spot any issues or maintenance in a yacht, but, if this is the case then this can be negotiated when it comes to negotiating the cost when you make the purchase.
