    If you are still looking, I'm planning on putting my Mk3 Corribee up for sale. Needs work (engine, trailer, general tidy up) but will be going up at a needs-to-go price.

    Is that 21ft? Probably looking for a little bigger.

    I thought you were trying to flog the OP a Corby, for a moment!
    I was wondering about the suitability of such a boat for the OP.

    No connection, but came across this advert and this looks like an honest little boat, in good condition for her age, and can likely be had for a few quid less. https://www.apolloduck.ie/boat/trapper-ts240-for-sale/662092

    There’s a GK24 for sale in Malahide. Know it well - it was raced regularly in Malahide about 15yrs ago. I think it been owned by two Eastern European lads for the past couple of years and they kept it in pretty good nick. Might be a bargain for someone.

    Don't know if you're still looking, but this has turned up and looks to be a bit of a bargain. First class sea boats, lying in Dublin, new(ish) engine and lots of updates. The only negative I can think of is the poor headroom in the cabin. If she surveys well, it's a fantastic boat.

    Thanks Tabnabs. Nice boat and a Sadler 25 would deffo be on the list. Might keep a close eye on that one.

    Lost focus on the boat search due to moving house (tomorrow....to Greystones....just 100m from the marina!).

    Once the move is done, will be on the search.

    So....Just to conclude this thread....ended up buying that and taking possession today!

    As Tabnabs stated above, not great headroom or great layout below, but sufficient. After a test sail, feels like a great sea boat and has a decent inventory.

    I am now officially the owner of two boats! Other now on the market. https://www.adverts.ie/boats/hunter-europa-19ft-sailing-boat/24377557

    Thanks for all the leads over the last few months.

    Appreciate I am very late to this discussion. My wife and I are selling a Leisure 23 SL fin keel. We have her 15 years and had great sailing on her. We are looking to change to a cruiser for more accommodation. Chablis is in Dingle. Boat survey will be done in next few weeks. Took out inboard as it was so old and simply use outboard now. More details available if interested. Derek
