Beginner with budget of 5-6k needs advice...

on buying a small yacht. Is it possible to get something in that price range (2-4 berth)that is seaworthy enough to sail to France or even further afield - spain/Greek islandsetc. If so does anyone have any suggestions on what to go for and what would be the minimum requirements (in terms of size) for such a journey?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi,

I would personally go for something like a hunter europa or 19 they will sail through almost anything and back again. try googling "Willing Griffin" single handed trans atlantic boat. Hunter Europas are just as happy spending a day around the cans or undertaking a long passage and a good one can be picked up for 2-4KGBP

If you want something a bit bigger try looking at a folkboat or a folksong.
Again both has succesfullycompeted in the trans atlantic
folboats are very common but are generally wooden hull you can pick up a goodish one for around 4k GBP Folksongs are rarer built in GRP and range in price from 4-6k GBP

good luck
