This might do you. It's less expensive and should be fairly well kitted out already. The drawback is that it's across the Tasman.

Is this the same boat as the Morgan Out Island?? If so is there some concerns about build quality on these?

I think it might be a later type model but I think a lot of the OI are ketch rigged. I have never heard of issues with them but could never be 100%. Don't think it would ever be considered a racer given its design. I think it does have an encapsulated keel which I think is a plus. Just thought it might be servicable for your goals and save a bit of money at the outset.

Just to clarify I don't believe the boat I linked is an OI.
