Wow, a Vega for under $3000 and a SC 23 for under $3k as well?
Nice finds. Who says you need $100,000 to "go"?
I sure hope they find good homes. Sailfar dreams in the making...
The Folkboat looks ready to cross oceans with all the equipment for 18k!

She's indeed a well kept and well found vessel, and not that it matters or anyone should care, but since i am such a huge fan of the class I feel i must point out that the Marieholms Bruk is not in actuality a Folkboat - it is classed as an IF boat (International Folkboat). Other popular grp folkboat-inspired models include the Contessa 26 and the Whitby Continental among many others, none of which are 'true' folkboats. Its kind of like referring to any 4WD as a "jeep".
Like i said, not that it matters - I'm just a folkboat nut!

Keep up the good work, your better at finding them than i am, now if you can find me a blue water capable 29 to 32 boat in AR for cheap I'll bow and scream "I'm not worthy" repeatedly ;D
Some very decent looking boats here. prices are nice as well
general comments on condition of the boats from the pics? anyone want to point out things that are good or bad, for a learning experience for us who might need it?
Also, cant find any data on that last boat, looks nice, but never seen or heard of it, anyone help in that regard?

The way I have been finding these is to use http://searchtempest.com and enter the zip code for a location (Tampa, Boston, etc.) with a large search radius (1000 miles). Then I searched on Category sale/wanted and Subcategory boats, with the search term sail.
As for what boats to select, this is the list: http://atomvoyages.com/planning/good-old-boats-list.html
http://www.sailboatlistings.com/ is another good site for boat searches.
If I walk around in the boatyards in the town where I live, I could probably find a half a dozen sailfar cruiser type boats in project condition, none of which are being advertised. So spending time searching on the internet may not be as effective as calling boatyards and asking if they have any project boats.
Most of the boat for sale links I have posted will be dead in a month or two. I'm just doing it for fun and to get an idea of what it would cost to put together an ocean crossing sailfar cruiser. I have a nice coastal cruiser but would not mind trading it in for something that could cross oceans.
For me the most interesting type of boats are well maintained original condition boats that look like they were sold yesterday, AND boats that someone has totally obsessed over and completely tricked them out for cruising.
When I look at how much it would cost to take an older stock project boat and add selfsteering, dodger, anchor system, composting head, standing and running rigging, a sail or three, heater, stove, harness, foulies, rebed ports and fittings, etc., my estimate is that it would take several months of full time work and about $15,000. Not all of this has to be done immediately, of course. But much of it does have to be done before a long offshore passage.
So the price difference between a stock boat and a tricked out boat is a very interesting number. And remember, the prices in the ads are asking, not selling prices.

I've been using Zoomthelist, but once you get used to search tempests layout it is alot cleaner to use.
i wish there where marinas here i could just go walk around looking for boats, but alas sailing isn't a thing ppl do here, would be neat to take some vacay time and head some place and wander the marinas and maybe hop on a boat for a bit and learn a bit to, but wouldn't know where to begin really LOL :(
as for boat. would love to find someone selling there good boat at fire-sale prices due to moving or something, but those deals done come along to often on a solid blue water sailer.

Some nice boats there. Agree with Frank that the Triton seems like an especially good deal. appears to be well cared for, with considerable investments in equipment, etc.
A CD28 in decent shape for $15k is also a deal.
It's good to see the photos for another Ariel and to appreciate again what a great small cruiser they are.
What an attractive Herreshoff style interior that AB Tefla folkboat has, and how similar its lines are to an Alberg design.

I've always liked the looks of the Choy Lee. I have a friend that refers to them as a choy leaky but he is also the one that says that you have to have at least a 37 foot boat to go off shore or to the islands.
Another Ariel on ebay. This one keeps showing up and not selling, she doesn't look too bad. I asked him about why he thought she needed to be hauled, we'll see what he says.

Wow, looks like a interesting galley conversion.
I will be down that way soon,might be able to take a look at her for you if you would like.
Don't bother if it's too much trouble, but I would like to know more about her.
Alberg 30 #171 (pre-liner) is for sale, asking $10,000.

Joe ask the owner this question. If I purchased your boat would you say she is sea worthy enough to leave Rhode Island and make a trip to Georgia after I load my gear, food and fuel?
It might be to good to be true. His answer might give you an idea of the condition. Remember the larger the boat the more she will cost to repair or replace.
For $2700 you would think someone in the area would have jumped on her.

I think it would use a SailFar boat for a dinghy...

I agree with you :), I'm not in a buying mood or up to this level of sailing yet, but did want to post if for discussions sake, although the more i look at the Vanguard the more i do like the boat, but i think this is the Dinette model, but I'm not 100% on that.
Anyway, is mute point, boat is sold :) so might have been a steal.

The more boats you check out the more knowledge you'll have when it comes time to buy. Kick the tires as often as possible.
If your ASA instructor wanted you to crew in the Harvest Moon you've got enough knowledge to handle that boat. The more you sail the more you will learn. The Harvest Moon can kick you a$$. Every year there are boats that come into Port O'Connor and finish in the ditch.
Quote from: Grime on August 24, 2014, 03:22:42 PM
finish in the ditch.
Hum, not familiar with that saying? that mean they don't finish and/or give up?
We refer to the ICW as the ditch. Yes the Gulf got to nasty for them. Happens every year. The gulf coast ICW (Inter Coastal Waterway) starts with mile marker 0 at Harvey locks in New Orleans. Runs east and west from there all the way to Brownsville, Texas on this end. Not sure on the east side where it stops. From NOLA going west you will find more barge traffic than anywhere else in the country.
Carabelle , Florida. From there you have to go offshore to at least Tarpon Springs. About 150 miles roughly.
There is inland waterway south of there, but I don't know for sure if it's considered ICW

Just did some chart research. Tarpon Springs is mile 150 of the SW Gulf ICW. Mile 0 of that part is at Ft Myers.
After that, it's catch as catch can. Some is protected (such as through much of the Ten Thousand Islands), and much is offshore.
Great cruising south of Tarpon ;)
