#boatfoolssailing #sailing #boatsforsale #floridasailing #beautifulboats 10 Sailboats Under $30K in Florida — Our #1 Pick Might Surprise You Ahoy BoatFools Nation! This week Canadian Ken and I head south to sunny Florida to find the greatest sailboats for sale for under $30k! This week's winner may surprise you! But all of these seem like winners! You could be out pursuing your sailing dreams before you know it. Don't listen to all of the BS about spending a fortune in order to enjoy sailing. Our buddy, Cape Dory Carlton, spent $9k on his awesome Cape Dory 30 9 years ago and, in addition to annual upkeep, has only purchased a new dodger over that time - and he sails more than anyone we know (anyone with a job, that is - which means most of us..). Sellers are getting anxious. Deals are in the offing! And if you live in Florida, one of these boats might be ideal for you. Any one of these sailboats would be perfect for day sailing, some weekend overnights, and some could even take you just about anywhere you'd want to go. Some of these boats will knock your socks off. Please note that we have no financial interest in any of these boats. Just sharing the information! And please contact us if you have any questions about any of these boats - happy to share our thoughts. And keep score at home and let us know which boat won on your scorecard.
