However this presents a case for those considering buying for the first time or thinking of changing their boat that it's worth considering this difference when weighing up the options. For example: a buyer choosing between these two cruiser racers should consider the extra annual running costs even before a single mile has passed under their keels
Model | Sigma 33 | Fastnet 34 |
Year | 1985 | 1977 |
Asking Price | £22,000 | £22,000 |
LOA: | 9.88M | LOA: 10.4M |
Marina Fees | £3,700 per annum | £5,100 per annum |
That's a difference of £1400 every year, which you could think of in terms of taking a pay cut of £2200 per annum from your salary.
I'm clearly not advocating a buying a boat like buying a bag of veg ("I'll have 10M of of generic boat please") rather than selecting based on rich set of criteria (and emotions). I'm merely suggesting to add it into the mix as another cost to consider.
