Are you seriously looking for a quality offshore cruising yacht and nearly ready to start your cruise? There are far more well designed, well built boats available in Europe than you can hope to see in North America.

A great many of the renowned cruising yachts are only just getting known here, and just starting to be imported. The designs are more inovative and more advanced than many of the boats found here. The Dollar is high at the moment and good buys can be found. Start your cruise in Europe.

I have extensive experience finding quality yachts and assisting clients to get great buys overseas. Some of my suggested good designs are:

• Oyster, Bowman (England)
• Trintella, Contest (Holland)
• Najad, Halberg Rassy (Sweden)
• Wauquiez, Amel (France)
• Grand Soleil (Italy)
• Northwind (Spain)
• Swan, Baltic (Finland)
