I take it you mean spend 35k on top of the cost of the sailaway, not in total?

I think you'll struggle at that budget.

 

The Collingwood pricelist was just posted in the "Cheap Sailaways" thread and that comes in at £36,000 for a 57' sailaway.

I think that's harsh on trabants.....there is a collingwood Widebeam opposite us which has some cracking rust streaks coming from the bottom of the rubbing strakes...they don't look like they are even tack welded on the bottom joint....going to be an expensive fix in a few years...and all for saving a few hours welding when it was a bare shell

There have been several posts on here about problems on new build boats.With your budget,I am sure you could buy a good used boat.It may need a bit of tinkering to get it the way you want it, but could save a lot of money,stress and heart ache (and head ache) and as a plus point,you can go cruising immediately.

Yes I been thinking and will look at used 

I guess have a look and get the survey done if the hull is ok the rest I can sort slowly and as you say I can enjoy straight away
