Tips For Buying A Used Sailboat

admin — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 12:34:47 +0000

Dreaming of purchasing a yacht to get away from it all, but don’t think your budget can handle the cost of a new sailboat? You might be wise to consider checking into all the used sailboats for sale because you could be happily amazed how affordable they are, especially compared to the cost of a normal car. Because of the big sailing boom in the 1980′s, the market has been flooded with used boats — scores of which beautifully cared for and still in great condition — even though they are decades old.

A real incentive for looking into pre-owned yachts is they generally come with all the extra equipment — the type of added equipment that can truly add up if you purchase a new boat from the boat dealer. It is also a relief, principally for a novice, to not need to conduct the necessary homework to find the right type of sails, radios and other important items necessary to properly outfit a new yacht. Despite the fact that it is possible that the equipment might be 15 years old and in need of repair, you will have the advantage of knowing what is functioning, or what is non-operational on the model of used yacht you purchase.

Just like another used piece of equipment, you will need to exercise caution when shopping for used sailboats since there is always the possibility that there are serious deficiencies that has prompted the owner to sell to sidestep impending restoration cost. Certainly prior to you putting any money down, you will want to do a comprehensive inspection and even take it for a cruise, because pictures and sales copy can be purposefully incorrect.

Locating good quality used yachts for sale starts with investigating the various shopping channels such as internet postings, classified ads and some good old fashioned word of mouth advice because there are no systemized prices or categories. With proper thought to pricing trends and research on the availability and price range of certain sailboat models, the consumer quickly can create a knowledge of the current market.

Another great source for pre-owned yachts in Canada are the regional publications that cater to the sailing community, like “Canadian Yachting”, “The Ontario Sailor” and “L’Escale Nautique”. The classified parts in the publications frequently list quality sailboats for resale. Also the popular magazine Boat for Sale publishes an annual pricing guide that includes the up-to-date values of common used yachts in the country.

Professional sailboat dealers can also be invaluable if you ensure they are experienced, because anyone can call themselves a dealers. Once you determine they have knowledge that could help you get the best price, it will be worth the extra costs related to their service. Not only will they aide both the buyer and seller get the a fair deal, they can ensure that your hunt for a pre-owned sailboat is focused on vessels that are exactly right to suit your individual needs.

For Sale – $19,995 OBO – 45′ Lake Union Deck Cruier Video – Portland Yacht Sales

admin — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 02:20:46 +0000

Designed by famed naval architect Ted Geary this boat was built by the Lake Union Dry Dock and Machine Works of Seattle, WA, in 1930. The Lake Union Co. built many of the most respected Classic Yachts produced on the West Coast before the 2nd World War. This beautiful 45 footer is an outstanding example of the breed. She was originally built and launched at their famous yard on the shores of Seattles Lake Union. The Lake Unions were built by the outstanding Pacific Northwest craftsmen of the period to withstand the rigors of the northern waters and out of woods so fine that they are simply no longer available; in general, these boats tend to be more robust, and of heavier scantlings than most classics. It is not known how many 45 foot bridge deck cruisers were built by the Lake Union Dry Dock Company, but only five are known to exist today, including two built in 1928 and two others built in 1929. This vessel is the only 1930 model known to be still in existence. We consider her to be an exceptional buy in an Antique Cruiser and a highly desirable yacht, as well as being a Pacific Northwest and West Coast Treasure.

LOA: 455
Beam: 121
Draft: 36

Ford Lehman Marine Diesel Engine 120hp

Although technically a bridge deck cruiser, boats of this design were advertised by the Lake Union Dry Dock Company as “Dream Boats.”

If You Want To Buy A Yacht Do Your Homework

admin — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 23:13:44 +0000

Before committing to a huge venture in your desired yacht, know just what kind of financial responsibility you are confronting by doing your homework to avoid creating a proverbial money pit. When you take into account the assortment of yachts for sale — whether they are new or used — you must have a clear idea of the type, size and range you need so that you can calculate a practical long term budget. When you understand that purchasing a yacht demands the funds associated with owning both an additional house and a car, it is clear that investigating all factors affecting your purchase are important to assure you don’t get in over your head.

Clearly, the very first issue is to determine how you will pay for your yacht, for the purchase price and accompanying insurance are just the start of the expenditures you will encounter. Come up with a llong term budget prior to even looking at available yachts to project money for fuel, storage, harbor fees and yearly servicing to get a true picture of what type of normal costs will be inevitable.

While choosing what kind of yacht to buy, examine the waterways and conditions you will come across once you set sail. The depth of the keel, the height of the mast and the kind of communication equipment you require are all parts that will be affected by the kind of waterways you plan to navigate and the length of time you wish to spend away from the harbor. If you are just thinking of using your yacht for entertaining in the harbor, you will obviously need different hardware than if you are planning to go on on long far off excursions.

Once you get a clear idea how much you can afford and how you are going to use your yacht, you can determine whether to purchase a new or used yacht. New yachts require a sizable starting investment that goes past the purchase price — there are also necessary extras and small added luxuries that should be calculated into the overall price of a new yacht for sale. There are plenty of used yachts for sale on the market that are already outfitted and cost a fraction of the regular price on a brand new model, however you can cone across hidden costs because of structural damage or a lacks upkeep history.

Even if you choose a new or used yacht, before you put any money down, invest in the services of a professional surveyor to check out the vessel from all angles. A professional opinion is invaluable to make sure you are getting what you pay for and that it can satisfy your long term expectations. Retaining the services of a broker to help you to find just the right yacht among all the available boats can also be a smart move, particularly on yachts for sale in the luxury range, because professional brokers have the skills to track down boat histories on used craft and they can help you get the best possible deal on new yachts.

If You Want To Buy A Yacht Do Your Homework

admin — Sat, 29 May 2010 16:00:19 +0000

You are certainly mindful that owning a yacht demands a serious financial commitment, so it should be no surprise that you must do your homework to make certain that your ideal boat does not turn into a money pit. Whether you are looking at new or used yachts for sale, taking time determining the size, style and cruising range to meet your needs can help you determine initially if your budget can handle the long term expenses that come with yacht ownership. Selecting the right yacht requires as much planning, forethought and research as buying a home or a car because you are basically buying another house that needs the kind of regular upkeep as your car and home.

Clearly, the very first issue is to determine how you will pay for your yacht, for the purchase price and accompanying insurance are just the start of the expenditures you will encounter. Creating a comprehensive budget that encompasses the regular upkeep, fuel charges, storage and mooring fees associated with yacht ownership has to be done before you start browsing for actual yachts for sale.

Another crucial factor is deciding the conditions you will encounter once you launch your yacht, for that can make a big difference in what kind of yacht you eventually select. Understanding the demands and limitations of nearby waterways helps you determine factors such as the height of the mast, the depth of the keel and what type of on-board communication equipment you need for your region. If you are just planning on using your yacht for entertaining in the harbor, you will obviously want different equipment than if you are planning to take it on long distance adventures.

As soon as you have a clear notion how much you can afford and how you are going to use your yacht, you can determine whether to buy a new or used yacht. New yachts need a sizable starting investment that goes beyond the purchase price — there are also necessary extras and small added luxuries that should be calculated into the sticker price of a new yacht for sale. Used yachts for sale are plentiful and cost considerably less to buy upfront — mainly since many are already equipped with all the extras — but may have hidden costs due to structural damage or a poor maintenance history.

Regardless of whether you buy a new or used yacht, you will want to have a professional survey it from end to end before you put any funds down. Getting an expert give you their review on the shape of the yacht you are thinking about can help you insure that you are buying what you expect and your future expectations will be met. Retaining the services of a broker to help you to locate just the right yacht amid all the available boats can also be a wise move, especially on yachts for sale in the luxury range, because reputable brokers have the experience to track down boat histories on used craft and they can help you get the best available deal on new yachts.
