Cheoy Lee 36 at $1,500.00!

Maybe it's a good thing I'm not on the coast or I have no doubt this'd be sitting in my yard as well. 0 bidders so far.

The same seller also has a nice looking Pearson 26 or something at around $500.

North West

Post by solosailor »

I would really like to find something like this in the North West. Just never see it. Why?

Consider it a price you pay for living in the beautiful northwest ;-)

On a more serious note I find it very frustrating that living on the west coast there are very limited opportunities to find some of the greatest classic sailbots which are plentiful on the east coast. Cape Dories, Morris Yachts (Frances, Linda, Annie), Seasprites, Southern Crosses, etc. very rarely come on market on the west coast. I am sure you already know Catalinas, Cals, Westsails, Islanders, Pacific Seacrafts are everywhere (at least in California). Where you live I noticed there are a lot of heavy displacement cruisers like Cape George. Overall I still feel fortunate be living in the U.S. compared with Canada, Australia, U.K., and Europe where sailboat selections are even more limited (obviously a subjective and thoroughly US centric view, not meant to offend folks from those countries).

While I agree that there are fewer choices in Canada, I'm not too sure I'd say that about the UK or Europe. Pick up a British sailing rag and check out the back pages. Anytime I did I was impressed with the selection. The Brits tend to have some pretty hardy stuff- Nicholsons, Ebbtides, and Vancouvers come to mind. Not many light air drifters though...

There's lots of choice in Canada: I hauled one boat up from California and another from Oregon :-)

As a side note, boat prices in Sweden appear to be lower than the rest of Western Europe.

Pacific Northwest and Western Canada

Sorry Peter, I don't agree. When ever I see a Classic Plastic, the type I would like to take on as a project boat. Their always in the East.

As for Europe, the prices seem much higher. I'm not saying this from extensive knowledge. I have compared prices of the Contessa 32 in the U.K. and here. We are sometimes about half the cost here.

why?

Post by solosailor »

Just looked at last post. Why am I a bottom painter technician (or what ever it said)? Who the hell put that there?

It threw me off at first as well. Post more and move up the food chain. You'll note we all have a role. It's part of the forum and part of the fun!
Cheers,
