I was getting closer to deciding on a boat but after talking to more people I am once again totally confused. What I want to do is take the boat back and forth between Nova Scotia and the Carribbean and then after some years cross the Atlantic to cruise the Mediterranean. I hate Canadian winters!
My max price is 100,000 Canadian.
My questions are as follows:
1. What is the ideal size? I am looking at 38 max and 35 min. Is 35 too small?
2. Should I buy a newer boat even though it is a Hunter etc. or should I buy an older boat such as a Niagara, Tartan, Sabre or IP?
3. I like the IP35 or 38 but do they really sail badly?
4. Is a freshwater boat worth that much more than a saltwater one?
Thank you.
