• Get in touch with individuals and professionals who are members of the Band of Boats network. They will be able to give you precise information about their boat(s) and sailing in their region.
• Expand your search to the country as a whole. In some cases, the cost of transporting a boat by road will soon pay for itself.
• For a used boat, prefer older models. Among the best-known manufacturers, you can find boats from previous years that may not be as stylish but that offer the same high performance.
