Boat: Moody 31 | list, though the hank on might be a problem give that most will have . Also you might have to compromise a little on the date for the . We have no idea what will happen post Brexit for yacht prices in the UK, so best accept no real change in prices for a while after Brexit. Owners aren't going to suddenly drop the prices and give away yachts. Since you seem to be world wide, how about a yacht that is already in the Pacific or Carib were someone has given up on the dream, after spending a fortune on fitting it out? Otherwise I guess its the US just for the shear size of the market. |

Boat: Ganley 38 'Timerider' Steel | and staysail is no problem, nice for single-handed. From what I hear they seem to fail a lot less than the more complicated and expensive furlers. I have personally mostly sailed with hanked . I just don't want to get caught out in the biscay or her in the fourties in 30+ winds with a full main flapping about, unable to reef. Yes, I am happy to look at older . I just came back from a round Tasmania trip in a 50 year old Ohlson 38. boat, but much less space downstairs than newer designs. That would not what I want for a longer trip. |

will provide you with unrestricted movement down below FIRST, because if you don't have that, you really got nothin'. Then, once you have a shortlist of boats with your height dimensions as the primary consideration, start looking at those that fulfill your other criteria in terms of hull and interiors. That way you could avoid being overwhelmed with choices that may not include the height issue. Only then can you apply your budget constraints. There have been some threads on this forum, and undoubtedly on other , where height down below IS the main question being asked. It appears to me that your post could well have been entitled: "What 1990 era boats have interior for a 6'-2" ?" We determined what boat we wanted, and spent a year looking ONLY at these boats. Saved a lot of time, actually, by not getting deflected at looking at things that we didn't want. We did our homework first. Good luck, happy hunting. | |

Boat: None at present--between vessels. Ex Piver Loadstar 12.5 metres | . Strongly built and well designed--and affordable. As comfortable as a small vessel can be. There are many others--just that these are commonly available for reasonable money--and allow for a little spending before you set sail. |

Boat: Downeaster 38 | on Mexico's Pacific coast. , , Mazatlan, , etc. Lots of boats here where the owner's dreams have died. The cruiser's rally the Ha-Ha brings down about 200 boats every October and a good percentage of these people give up on their world idea right here in . They fly home and the boat stays. Also, I would look at boats for in . Same thing there. People buy a boat in the , , etc. with "the dream" and they do fine sailing their dream until they get to "the ditch" and then... they are staring at a 3,000+ mile voyage and it scares the crap out of a lot of them and... they quit. Just these 2 markets should find you what you are looking for. Then just get her ship shape and sail her home to Oz. Cheers and good luck! |

Monohull, 34-38 ft (40 the very max) in length, sloop or cutter rigged, moderate draft (no more than 6 ft), rudder skeg hung or long keel, no spade, no mast furling main. Hanked jib/staysail ok. The less non-essential gear, the better, in particular electronics. Sturdy hull, fibreglass, alu, steel, I don't mind.
