I Will Show You How to Buy a Great Used
Sailboat For Half Its Actual Value...
Dear Sailing Enthusiast,
Do you dream of owning a sailboat but you're just not sure if you can afford one?
Does the thought of buying a used sailboat make you nervous? Concerned about overpaying or ending up with a problem boat?
Stop worrying - I'm here to help.
I've been buying and selling used sailboats for nearly 30 years. It's been my living for as long as I can remember.
I'll show you - step by step - how to find a great sailboat and how to get it at a bargain price.
Buy a Used Sailboat for Below Its Market Value
You'll learn exactly where to look and how to determine if a boat is overpriced or underpriced.
Shall I let you in on a little secret? Boat bargains are almost never the result of hardnosed negotiation on the buyer's part. This misunderstanding continues to sabotage the efforts of most first-time sailboat buyers.
The key to winning at this game is to find boats that are already underpriced. After reading my guide, you'll know how to identify these boats and you will stand in awe of all the great opportunities available right now.
Want to know another little-known fact? Nearly every sailboat transaction takes place well above or below the true market value of the vessel.
What that means is that in each case, someone is making money on the deal and someone is losing money.
With the knowledge you'll soon have, you will be the one making the money.
"Dear Bill,
Thank you! Using the strategies from your course, I found the 'right' sailboat in the 'wrong' location ... and instantly saved $20,000 on my purchase."

The System Works for Buying Any Type of Sailboat
You'll learn proven techniques I've used on a tremendous variety of sailboats across nearly every manufacturer, style, size, age, location, and price range.
This includes everything from the most popular production models, to offshore cruisers, custom and semi-custom yachts, multihulls, and even antiques and classics.
The System Will Work Anywhere
The principles of buying sailboats are universal, no matter where you live in the USA, Canada, Caribbean, Europe, Australia, South Africa, South America, Asia, Pacific Islands, or anywhere there are sailboats.
Don't Buy Fixer-Upper Sailboats
Trust me on this one. Follow my advice and steer clear of project boats.
Although there's nothing wrong with the accumulation of "sweat equity", we can't ignore the value of our own time. There are so many bargains out there waiting to be discovered, it doesn't make sense to spend months rehabilitating a badly neglected boat.
So instead, let's go find underpriced boats in great condition and spend our time on the water with our friends and family, rather than sanding and drilling.
Take Advantage of the Current Economy
It's such a great market right now to be a sailboat buyer. The weak economy of 2009-2012 has created tremendous opportunities for us.
Numerous sellers - many of whom have taken great care of their boats - urgently need to sell these vessels for financial reasons. Ironically, these same sellers cut corners on their advertising budget, failing to gain any traction in their marketing efforts.
The guide will show you how to locate these sellers and how to assist them by proposing a quick sale and transfer.
You will learn how to:
- Develop a customized system for finding underpriced and poorly marketed boats in your area
- Perform your own detailed pre-survey of a sailboat
- Keep money in your pocket by knowing how to negotiate correctly
- Ensure a safe, smooth payment process and transfer of ownership
Here are a Few More Emails I've Received From Readers:
"By using the techniques in your guide I was able to save over $24,000 on the purchase of my Island Packet. Like most folks, I used to think of my boats as a depreciating asset. My only regret is that I didn't pick up your book sooner."

"Bill,
I'm very impressed. Being a complete newbie to sailing, I was clueless about the process involved in finding, inspecting, and buying the proper boat. All the information that is otherwise available online discusses WHAT boat to buy, but nothing about actually BUYING that boat.
The information provided in this ebook is going to make the difference between buying a lemon and buying the boat that will give me years of sailing pleasure."

"Even though I have read many articles & books about used boat purchases, How to Buy a Sailboat offered several definitive concepts that you can use to your advantage in buying a used boat.
Considering the low cost of the volume and the quality content, I would not consider buying a used sailboat without first reading this publication."
