They are not big, they are not new, and they usually need caring hands. But they do sail, they can still be trailered, but are perfectly suitable for the coast, and they offer space for up to four people plus a galley. Second-hand small cruisers are both inexpensive and extremely versatile. But what does the market offer, which models are suitable for whom, and what characterises them? What are the weak points and what do potential buyers need to look out for? The big used boat comparison test, part 1, pits them against each other: Etap 22, Dehlya 22, Friendship 22, Jaguar 22, Neptun 22 and Varianta 65.

You can read the big special in YACHT 20/2018, which is available in the DK shop, or you can download the first part of the comparison test directly via the link below.
