[quote=davefarmer]Yeah, the H21 might be a wonderful choice for your needs, but start looking now! Not a lot of them, and finding one under $6k will be tough. The wings would be a great addition for comfort. With the N/I 20s, there are more of them to choose from, but those under your limit will need close inspection. You could also consider Hobie 20 Miracles.
I'm a bit concerned about your budget for the boat. I think you can find a decent one of these twenty footers we've suggested for $6K, but I think you're going to need to spend additional money to really put them in top condition for distance ocean sailing. New standing rigging would be high on my list, and the sails need to be very sound/near new.
A spin would be a great addition, std on the N/I20, but not a lot of these other $6K boats will have one. And adding it would be a minimum of around $2K if you're a good scrounge.
Watch the classifieds here, as well as Catsailor.com, and CL. And return here with questions and updates, you've got us interested now.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by davefarmer on Jan 18, 2015 - 08:04 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
