mrsmelly Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I take it you mean spend 35k on top of the cost of the sailaway, not in total? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBiscuits Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Harold Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 13 minutes ago, Feeby100 said: Ok so steer clear of colinswood boat then 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.
