Used boat test: Used boats around 40,000 euros - on deck and under sail

This much in advance: there were surprises. On one boat, the mainsheet was not right, another had a different rig, and a third was shooting into the wind without prior notice. Sounds exciting? It was. The overview shows what to look out for on deck and under sail.

What does it cost to replace important components such as the engine, sails, rigging and upholstery? And: When is the right time to buy? Rather newer, but with original equipment, or older, but already fitted with new parts?

If you are looking for answers to these questions, you will find them in YACHT 5/2020 in part 2 of our special on buying a used boat. The magazine is available in DK-Shop, or you can download the second part of the comparison test via the link below.
