Looking for a Boat?

So I have been on line looking at sailboats. One that has caught my eye in the past is the Nonsuch. They are cat rigged sailboats with one large mainsail up front. This boat would not be a live aboard, but one to sail around the San Juan and Gulf Islands off the coast of British Columbia and Washington State until we figure out what we are going to do. The one I saw for sale reasonably local is the smallest version - 22' - It sleeps 2, has a small galley, head, diesel engine and a fair size cockpit for the boat size. I think it is a little over priced, asking $25,000 US. Having said that, they seem to be almost a 'collector boat' and seem to hold their pricing pretty well. I am in no hurry so will keep my eye on it and keep looking. Boat prices have not seemed to drop much yet, but I do see more on the market. My feeling is they will start dropping prices pretty soon with more and more coming on the market. Here is a picture of a Nonsuch with it's unusual wishbone rig. (not the one for sale).

Decisions, decisions
