while anchored in Moorea? All of 'em!
Excellent post, I agree! I could never afford these boats listed in SAIL mag and truthfully wouldn't buy one if I could afford one. The 5 boats you have listed can take you anywhere with some minor "blue water" upgrades.
Also looked at 1966 Pearson Wanderer, They've got the right hull and start at around $6,500 up to 10k for a really clean one. I've been talking about doing this far to long. I currently reside in China and would love to take myself and my filipino future wife over to the states and sail down the coast all around the Gulf of Mexico and then head to the bahamas. Damn.. stop talking.!!!
Classic sailboats are like classic cars in that they look really cool.....but they have obsolete technology, simple, systems and obsolete technology means spending more than it's worth and you still will have maintenance issues...........I've owned a PEARSON ARIEL 26 ....1966 model year (small version of the Triton) It had on outboard in a well behind the tiller. super cool idea......pushed her along at 5 knots. I bought her in 1988 for $5000. I sailed her from Maine to New Jersey. I've also owned a Cal 28 inboard diesel, 1986 model. Sailed her back and forth from Chesapeake Bay to Florida. Paid $ 23,000 in 2001. Do you want a project boat? or a boat to sail & relax? I've done both, but the less maintenance the better.... ..Best of luck....keep in touch tonysmith101.com
Outstanding... Don't forget a liferaft & GPIRB will add around $6-8K to all of these. There are passel more in the <$50K range including some Cal 40s. Cheers - Tim
Good reminders, Tim. As many experienced folks say, your bluewater outfitting budget should realistically be about half of the purchase price for the boat. This varies, obviously, but the point is it's expensive to add all the offshore goodies like a liferaft, etc.
Thank you for this post and insight into the cheaper option of blue-water cruising. I am in the market for a boat and read avidly all comments, posts and mentions of possible boats that are out there. My budget is realistically around the £30,000 mark, though that is to have it ready to sail with all bells, flutes and whistles in place ;-) Keep up the good work. Loving this blog.
Darren - Thanks for compliment and being a reader here at SFLF. I'm always inspired by people who can look past the big fancy and expensive sailboats to still make their bluewater cruising dreams come true. Best of luck with your search for cruiser!
Please stop it! These budget cruisers are a well-fed thread of myth. They have been sailed by sailors up to the challenge of navigating the oceans with minimal gear, extreme discomfort and hopeful optimism. An average used production cruiser of 36 to 40 feet would be a more sensible bet. This choice of boat would require the same upgrades and attention as those old tiny classics like a Contessa. If you have ever been aboard a Contessa you will come around. If you want to cross oceans you will need $35,000 for the boat, another $12,000 in upgrades, boatyard expenses and new gear (like a windvane) and another $10,000 in cash reserve as you sail the world. Sell everything. You can do it!
Thank you for the experienced perspective, O Trader! I agree to some extent, but boat choices aren't also practical decisions. Emotion, history, "myth" and more all play a role. In any case, I think you raise some good points and I appreciated you sharing them here.
Doesn't cost of upkeep for a boat increase with the size of the boat? And not linearly?
Sorry, that is not true. 24 foot boats have sailed the world safely and comfortably, and are still doing it. EPIRB's are ok, but not mandatory. Argh!
Sorry O Trader but I cannot agree. My wide and I sailed a Pearson Triton from Texas to Australia. It was great fun. We took 8 years doing it and met many boats under 30ft on our way. There is great beauty in keeping life simple.
I get sea sick. Would a submarine be a better bet for me? Or would I still get sea sick? As for crossing the ocean in a say 36 footer, once I get my sea legs would I still get sea sick? I was in Typhoon Karen back in the early 60's and was so sick I wanted to die.
Hi Joe. The sub will help with seasickness, but what about claustrophobia? At least that would be my concern!
LOL I wunder how fast your pet whale could drag it. ;)
every one can get seasick, there is a wave length for everyone.
Best cure for seasickness.: Stand under a tree
There are so many good old boats that have or can cross oceans, some needing extensive mods, some not that many, that it really pays to do your homework. My old "sailing instructor", the late Jean LaCombe, had crossed the Atlantic no less than 5 times singlehanded in boats from 18' ( Hippocamp. a wooden double ender he designed and built) to the Lapworth 23 I was on. He also sailed a 21' Golif in an early OSTAR (singlehanded transatlantic race). He later designed and built a 25'er (Yang) that he cruised to Europe and back. Most people today think a larger boat is the way to go, but so do the costs. For a couple, boats from around 24' - 25' and up seem to have done the job. There are so many old fiberglass boats around I think a little work would make a lot of them suitable for long distance cruising. For those who get seasick, try sailing on a trimaran or catamaran, although they'll be perhaps more expensive. The old British Heavenly Twins 26 / 27 has circumnavigated for example, and has twin aft double cabins. Searunner trimarans, or Tri-Stars (31' and up) make excellent long distance cruisers too, even though most are made of wood. They have excellent safety records too. Know that the movement on a multihull can be somewhat different from a monohull... they tend to move more at the ends, but you'll never have a long roll as with some monohulls, or much of a hobby horse motion. You'll also have access to some very shallow areas that monohulls may not be able to get into.
I bought a southern cross 31 in Carolina Beach NC, for 8500 dollars, sailed it to Bermuda Antigua, Montserrat, Guada loop, back to Bermuda, and then on to Scotland, Ok the boat is now pretty trashed, and out of the water, but it was pretty trashed when I got it, its now just more trashed.
i love reading these comments. one day i will have 30ft cruiser
Damn. I lost my Catalina 27 in Hurricanne Katrina and have now just decided to replace it. Thanks for this post, it has me thinking.
Thinking is good! Hope you get to replace your C27 soon.
As a x commercial fisherman who used to curse at the sailboats and there dainty fenders i now love sailing and am planning a transatlantic crossing back to Scotland from Virginia hence looking at affordable boats to do the job. Thanks for the information.
Skote - Thanks! Best wish for finding just the right boat that checks the boxes and stirs your soul.
I am currently in the market for a Whitby Alberg 37 which I plan to sail with y wife and 3 year old around the world. These boats are the perfect blend of affordability and seaworthiness. They are beautiful and can be had well equipped for off shore cruising at under $55k (USD). Actually almost any Carl Alberg design will get you there beautifully.
Hello to all, a great sailing boat for me is the one that is all paid for, ocean going and that i can do 45 mph on the road with it. I sail a Albin Vega 27, there will be no other boat. David
How is trailering your Vega 27? It must sit really high on trailer. Do you lift it on? I have a 23 foot swing keel Venture of Newport 23 cutter that keel tucks up to 18 inches, I just nudge it up a ramp with trailer winch and a bit of engine thrust. Your fixed keel would raise trailer center of gravity a lot. I'd like to trailer to inland lakes like Thousand Islands NY yet also sail down US East Coast. Thanks, Bud R, Virginia March 19, 2021
I understand cats when they flip over can't be righted again very easily? But mono sailboats do right themselves again? I would think the mono sailboat would be safer. Especially with the world wide weather patterns changing so drastically now days. Do they make a blue water sailboat that if knocked down doesn't get any water inside the boat? And if the mono sailboat can float again after a knock down can one get away with no life raft? I hear there is an unsinkable sailboat made that the name starts with a B but it is very expensive? The danger of running into a cargo container or floating tree would be less if the hull was steel too, are they more prone to upkeep and maintenance or other trouble? Finally Sterling Hayden use to come back to the USA when he ran out of money and star in another movie. This way he could continue sailing. He had no money problems then. He was quite a guy and one of my hero's and his book is a good read.
a good unsinkable proper cruiser is the Sadler 32/34, the 34 is one that i am very keen on
It's virtually impossible to "flip" a catamaran in winds under 100 knots. There are hundreds of articles out there clearing the air about this myth. People like to equate fast racing cats that are racing way over powered in massive seas and winds. These boats will flip very easily. Production cats made for the public are very underpowered and by most counts far safer than monohulls in equally bad weather given the fact they are positively buoyant and will not sink. PLEASE do more research before spreading the ignorant myth that catamarans aren't safe and will flip easily. With radar and better charts and the ability for most catamarans to reach twice the speed as mono's it's plausible to never be in bad weather and deadly seas at all. The only, although slightly, negative point about a catamaran is they can tend to be a bit rough going into the wind. However with the introduction of daggerboards this "problem" is all but eliminated and the cat will reach just as high into the wind at equal or higher speeds as a mono.
You are quite wrong. Most capsizing, mono or multihull, is due to wave action and not wind speed. It is very possible to "flip" a catamaran in winds under 100 knots if the waves are big enough.
I strongly suggest that anyone seriously contemplating buying a bargain boat and living aboard or cruising should read this book! https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiw7O7dxvnzAhUFobMKHRAUBTgYABADGgJxbg&ae=2&sig=AOD64_1ULeKMesmAbLC0XtFFeXRcueri8A&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwix_-DdxvnzAhVYoXIEHbIpBmMQwg96BAgBEBM&adurl=
Paid for is a really good characteristic. Buy cheap. Outfitted - sails, rigging, engine, rudder, all the practical hardware, not new, just working. PFDs, flares, paper charts, VHF, lights, battery, oar. Food, water, release docklines, go locally even if its just on engine Mine is 23 feet, not ocean going but its sailing, coastal, solo. An ocean trip i would need a companion. Yes i love looking at the photos and specs and look at under 28 feet, e.g. Nor'Sea 27, Flicka. Im not in a hurry but do like rugged, solid and rugged salty look Hans Christian ($!) You have great boats here. Sail it, dont paint it. Sail it, dont install new cushions. Sail it, dont work on anything not absolutely needed to sail locally. No sails? Motor it. No motor? Sail it away from dock shakedown ancome back to a mooring easily under sail. Your shakedowns may show you there are lots of things you do Not need. Fair winds, Kahuna

Best Bluewater Sailboats Under $50K
Key Takeaways
There are a variety of sailboats that can fit within any budget. So what are some of the best bluewater sailboats under 50k?
The best bluewater sailboats that are under 50k include the Westsail 32, Bristol 40, Wauquiez Pretorien 35, Cape Dory 30, and the Sabre 28. These cruising boats are blue water capable and can likely be adjusted to fit your budget based on your sailing goals.
In my experience, there are plenty of affordable bluewater cruisers on the sailing market if you know where and what to look at. Doing enough research is crucial to finding what is best for you and what you can afford.
Table of contents
A variety of factors play into the purchase price of a sailboat such as the condition, age, and the make or model. There are an abundance of bluewater sailboats that can likely fit within your budget if you can figure out what features you would like on the boat.
{{boat-info="/boats/westsail-32"}}
The Westsail 32 is a perfect mid-sized sailboat that is ideal as a bluewater cruiser but the performance can be a little lacking. These boats typically are slow and steady which offers a level of safety when cruising. Depending on many factors you can find these boats anywhere between $30,000 to $50,000.
{{boat-info="/boats/bristol-40"}}
Most of the Bristol 40 sailboats were built in the 1960’s and a handful were built a little later. Boat designs were different back then, especially since the waterline lengthened whenever the boat would heel and it was equipped with an Atomic 4 gas engine. A majority of these boats vary in price from $30,000 to $49,000.
{{boat-info="/boats/wauquiez-pretorien-35"}}
The Wauquiez Pretorien 35 is a great example of a boat that can handle harsh conditions. It does not perform its best in light winds, but it becomes a true beauty when the wind becomes active. A lot of these boats have robust construction and you can begin finding these around $40,000 in good shape.
{{boat-info="/boats/cape-dory-30"}}
Smaller bluewater cruising yachts such as the Cape Dory 30 feature a full keel that helped improve its stability on the water along with a spade rudder. These are great for coastal cruising, especially since it has an increased wetted surface that affects its speed. Expect to find these in the price range of $10,000 to $33,000.
{{boat-info="/boats/sabre-28"}}
The Sabre 28 had a little over 500 boats that were produced and is a quality boat for ocean crossings. It might be a slow boat, but they used a fin keel with a skeg mounted rudder to help with a modest performance under sail. These boats typically hover in the range of $7,000 to $27,000 in price.
{{boat-info="/boats/island-packet-31"}}
Island Packet is most famous for their 31 model since it provided a full keel in a smaller boat at the time of their production. These are perfect for shallow waters for those that need a shallow draft to enter various locations around islands or docks. You can still find many of these shoal draft boats in the price range of $35,000 to $50,000.
{{boat-info="/boats/islander-36"}}
The Islander 36 is regarded as a recreational keelboat, meaning you can do just about anything you desire on this boat. Many improvements were made over the years to the design and allowed an increased performance, as around 1,000 were sold. The condition on these will vary but you can likely find them between $22,000 to $49,000.
{{boat-info="/boats/capital-yachts-gulf-32-pilothouse"}}
The Gulf 32 is a good bluewater cruiser that has had some adjustments over the years. These cruising boats actually had two different designers over the years and a handful of changes were made to the design, which might make it a headache to make repairs on the deck and other areas. The price ranges for these vary modestly between $24,000 and $39,000.
{{boat-info="/boats/tayana-37"}}
The Tayana 37 has been a popular sailboat used for circumnavigation over the years. This is a performance cruiser that features a tough fiberglass hull and has had various changes made over the years to improve its solid build. Many sailors should be able to find these ranging between $34,000 and $49,000.
{{boat-info="/boats/endeavour-37"}}
The Endeavor 37 was first built in 1977 with approximately 476 boats manufactured and is best known for it being a slow, heavy boat that is sturdy to last. Motion is desirable when sailing, but the upwind performance was a bit lacking. These can be found starting around $20,000.
{{boat-info="/boats/c-c-landfall-38"}}
C&C boats were considered pioneers in composite boat building, with the Landfall 38 being a prime example for how well they built boats. You can typically sail a little better with these, as they point higher and make it less likely that you will need to tack as much. Depending on condition and interior features, these can still be found around $33,000 and up.
{{boat-info="/boats/sparkman-stephens-tartan-37"}}
One popular Sparkman & Stephens boat design is the Tartan 37 , which is an excellent bluewater racing boat under the right conditions. It is typically easy to handle and has top-quality construction throughout. The prices on these vary, as ranges are $22,000 to $49,000.
{{boat-info="/boats/valiant-40"}}
It may be difficult to find a Valiant 40 since roughly 200 of them were ever built, making them a highly sought-after bluewater boat. Ocean crossings are much more tolerable due to its heavy displacement, fin keel, and a great build compared to other boats with a solid fiberglass hull. Prices can start near $45,000 for older ones, but will likely be more due to condition and age.
{{boat-info="/boats/shannon-38"}}
There were two styles of the Shannon 38 built that featured an aft cockpit or it utilized a pilot house that makes it appealing to those that are used to having a forward cabin. These are arguably hard to find in comparison to the Valiant 40’s since only 100 were ever built. These can be either a ketch rig or cutter rig and the prices will vary around $40,000 and up.
{{boat-info="/boats/hinterhoeller-niagara-35"}}
Many sailors have enjoyed the Niagara 35 over the years since it had two different styles and both were appealing on the interior. These were great family cruisers for bluewater conditions. Nearly 260 of these were ever built and you can likely find them at about $30,000 and beyond.
{{boat-info="/boats/prout-snowgoose-37"}}
Many boats have been famous for circumnavigation and the Prout Snowgoose is one of those on the list to do it. It features a narrow beam that makes it easier to pass through canals, as well as less room while docking and taking up less space. These will run about $45,000 and up depending on condition.
{{boat-info="/boats/freedom-36"}}
The Freedom 36 is a little bit on the smaller end when you compare it to other bluewater yachts. However, it has plenty of space and sails beautifully in the right conditions. These are still going for about $40,000 and more if you do not mind doing a little bit of work on them.
{{boat-info="/boats/corbin-39"}}
The Corbin 39 created two different designs and they had plenty to hit the market as unfinished kits that sailors would often design as they wanted. This makes things interesting when deciding on one since each boat will likely be different from the next. It still offers a complete sailing package and prices will vary from $40,000 and up.
When thinking of purchasing a bluewater sailboat, you likely have an idea in mind of what you want to accomplish out on the water. There is an abundance of options to consider when looking for a bluewater sailboat under $50,000.
The location of the boat will make a difference in price, whether you have to travel a long distance to retrieve the boat and tow it back home or have it shipped. There are a few places to look when comparing your options such as the east coast in the United States like Florida or Maine.
Boatyards will look like a used car lot, except with boats, that are usually needing repairs or a place for storage. Restoring a sailboat might be more than it is worth, but if you do not mind getting your hands dirty and have the time, this could be an appealing option. There are some instances where owners had abandoned a boat and you can score one much cheaper.
Boat shows are a great place to check out newer models of motor yachts, bluewater cruisers, or anything you desire to see them in action, if near the water. These will likely be higher priced since these are new boats on display. This is when doing your research in advance makes sense, as you want to go to one that will feature boats for your sailing goals and budget.
If you happen to live near spots on the water that have marinas or boating clubs, this is a great place to see boats potentially on sale by the owner. The harbor master could also recommend someone to you or they may have heard of a good boat for sale. Boating clubs are also nice to check out for a boat that you have in mind and see it in action.
Searching online for a boat is likely your first step in the buying process. This will also save you a ton of time when comparing prices and will allow you to contact people much sooner. You might even be able to find local ads placed online to find the boat of your dreams.
Boat auctions and estate sales are an appealing opportunity to find unique boats for a good price. You are taking a risk when purchasing these boats, as the condition of the boat is likely not going to be known. However, these will likely be going for cheaper than retail prices.
There are a few things to consider before you conduct research on a boat under 50k. You need to check into your finances to see how you can afford this transaction. There are a few different ways to think about this.
The reason you are likely searching for a bluewater boat under 50k is that you need to stay within a budget. There are many sailors that purchase boats solely on what they can afford and there is nothing wrong with that. Think about your current finances and see what you can work with or plan out for six months or more.
If you already have a boat and need to get rid of it, then trading your boat in will likely add value to the transaction. Trading in your boat not only helps you avoid meeting with random people, but you can shave the price off your new one. You will need to make sure your boat is in the best shape it can be or want to deal with to see what you can get out of it.
Sometimes dealers will be able to give you deals or incentives for financing a loan through them. This could be lower interest or a cash bonus, but there may not be anything at all, so be sure to check before accepting this deal.
