Choosing a yacht for offshore

There's a nice-looking Compass 28 on ebay with a buy-now price of $19,5500, amazing value if you got it at that price.

Hi I just bought a Northener 28 the first of the compass 28 they are by far a better sea boat than the compass 28 for the reasons i list here they are full glass construction no foam or balsa built in, hand laid glass which is 28% stronger than chopper gun, wooden fitout so you can do a refit any time and the real big one for me is the high bridge deck making it very hard for water to find its way down to the cabin if you get pooped they have a very small area in the companion way area making for a small wash board,they have the same hull as the comapss 28 but the cabin is differnt, one hell of a tough boat for going out to sea 1700kg of ballast incapualted in the long keel that is a stiff boat and guess what you can buy one for under $15000 dollars what a bargain, that 3 feet makes a lot of difference for storing gear and living on board have a look at one they sail unreal too.
