Nait,

I actually researched this topic in 2001 when I was buying my boat. I was trying to find a Farr 11.6 (Farr 38) and had seen several listings in the USA. I began researching the same boat in SA since I knew that quite a few of them had been built down there. I found quite a few listings and generally they were way cheaper than I could buy them for in the USA. In the USA I found them listed for $52,000 to $68,000 USD. In South Africa the same years and models were listed for $21000 to $40,000 USD. There are very limited listings on Yachtworld for South Africa but I ended up connecting directly to a broker who had been recommended by Dudley Dix. The Broker that I worked with was great sending me a number of detailed listings and then answered detailed questions on each for me. I cannot recall the name of the broker but I think they were in Cape Town.

Jeff
