Questions to ask when buying a Cruiser for Sailing

What important features should I think about when buying a cruiser type sailing boat?

A cruising sailing boat is a sailing or motor yacht that is suitable for long-distance travel and offers enough amenities to live aboard the boat yet is small enough to not require a professional crew. Generally 16 to 50+ feet in length, these boats are cabins for extended cruising. Boats larger than 27 feet usually have standing headroom down below. Many of the more popular models have large fleets and are raced or have fleet associations for group cruising.
For a first time buyer it is sometimes hard to know what questions to ask when buying a cruiser sailing boat. Whether this is your first sailing boat, or you have owned one before it is important to understand how you want the sailing boat to work for you, both in terms of sailing, as well as how you want to live on board in order to make the most of its features.
Knowing its purpose will assist you in choosing the right boat for you. This can be influenced by many things:

Are you looking for a luxury cruiser or do you prefer speed?
How many people on average will be sailing with you?
How many people do you intend to sleep onboard?
How much living space do you need?
How much time do you plan to spend onboard – think about if this is a boat for weekends away or do you intend to carry out some long-distance cruising?
Are you going to charter it out?
Where do you plan to use the boat? Think about factors like location, mooring, tide, weather and traffic density etc.
What technology & equipment will you need on the boat? Options include bow thrusters, stern thrusters, electric winches, in-mast reefing, self-tacking jibs and advanced navigation technology.

What is your budget for a cruiser?

Sailing boats that are used for cruising can vary wildly in price and prices will differ depending on style, size, age and condition.
As you narrow down your search for your boat you can expect to find manufacturers offering similar boats at seemingly quite different prices. Make sure you are comparing like for like in terms of spec and equipment levels etc. And remember there is always some room for negotiation on price.

Where can I buy a sailing boat from?

Once you have decided the type of sailing boat you want and how much you want to spend, you can begin your search. The first place to go is the internet; you will find thousands of sailing boats on sale either through private sellers, dealers or brokers. Using a good brokerage company when buying a boat can have many advantages. Reputable brokers will have a great deal of experience in buying sailing boats for customers, enabling them to detect a good deal when they see one. They will also have a variety of boats in one location and they can help to make the buying process as stress free as possible. Find a good broker either through by checking their advertisements or through recommendation from previous customers.
Alternatively, you can buy through a private seller or dealer. You will always get more accurate information on the true nature and quirks of a boat from the owner themselves and they can often be more flexible. Avoid private sellers and dealers that do not have a credible reputation.
It is advisable to take the time to visit a few showrooms, take a tour through a marina and look around as many boats for sale as possible in order to have a better picture on what sailing boats are for sale.

What are the estimated running costs of owning a cruising sailing boat?

Buying a sailing boat is not just about the money you pay for it. It is important to include the running costs of a boat in your budget. Additional costs can include:

Surveys
Mooring Fees
Maintenance
Fuel and Heating
Insurance

Working out the average running costs of owning a sailing boat and how you plan to use it is especially important.
You will also need to find a place to keep your sailing boat. Some marinas may not have available berths etc and mooring fees will vary considerably. Maintenance costs for new sailing boats are relatively low during the first three years but, as a rule, major machinery will require significant repairs or replacement within 5 to 7 years. So, before anything, include these costs in your budget.

Has the boat had a recent a survey?

When buying a second-hand boat, it is advisable to have a survey done by a qualified marine surveyor. They will advise on any faults on the hull and with the boat’s internal systems and highlight any issue the boat may have so you have peace of mind that you know exactly what you are buying.

What documents and paperwork will you need to buy a sailing boat?

Having the correct paperwork in place when you buy your sailing boat is important. This includes ownership papers, insurance, boat safety certificate etc. Make sure you have all of these in place when you buy.
