    There's a very nice-looking double ender for sale on Trade Me.  It's a very simple fitout and you might want more for offshore work.  Look carefully - the $90,000 includes the marina: the boat is only $45,000.  You can come to sunny New Zealand to start your round the world voyage!

    Very nice indeed! Ticks off most of my boxes. Just sent the owner an email with further inquiries.

    How much should I expect to pay for a haulout and landbased storage (anywhere) in NZ? Given the off chance that I'd go through with this, I would fly down there, stay for a month or two while working remotely and then fly back home. I'm not in the position to leave for full time cruising just yet, but I've been actively searching for a boat with very specific traits for a good while now and nothing's really come up until now. It just might be worth it, depending on the replies I get from the owner.

    It is a slow boat though... More canvas would help. It looks like it has around 50-55 sqm now, which gives it a SA/disp of 12-13. Adding a mizzen with 15 sqm would bring the SA/disp up to 15-16. I'm just guessing the displacement to be around 9 tons.

    Paul: La Chica seems to have 62 sqm (SA/disp 15.5), do you find this to be adequate? And what do you think about the above boat in general?

    Just got a reply; the boat is sold. :(

    The search continues.
