please: any advice on this yacht?

hi,

I hope you all had a wonderful xmas.

I posted this question on alt.sailing at google, and was hoping this audiance might be able to help with some more advice;

I am hoping to buy my first yacht. Basically, I know very little about sailing, now. I am going to buy, and then learn. I know this might sound slighty crazy, but that''s me. So basically, any advice would be
wonderful.

Here''s the advert;

Classic 33" Timber Yacht. Built 1957 in New Zealand. Kauri Pine. Good rig. Stripped for restoration. Very fast. Beautiful looking yacht.

In general, the response was;

- it will be expensive to maintain (time and $$$)
- get a professional survey done on it
- probably not the best boat for a first time owner
- it will be expensive to maintain (time and $$$) (they really tried to stress this

many thanks

Maurice
