Capability

5.0 · 5.2

cruising · offshore, of 10

Capability is scored for both standards from the same design research, re-weighted. The money is not: a coastal refit has to be costed on its own, which is why it can read “not analysed” above while the score beside it is real.

$9k–$18k

Listing is silent on rig age. At purchase in late 2026 this 2004 hull is 22 years old; the reference's over-20-year band starts from wholesale replacement unless documentation, rigger and insurer say otherwise.

$1k–$6k

Listing states aluminum mast and boom but gives no spar, sheave, furler or gooseneck service history; 20-30 year band calls for detailed aloft check and selected service.

$2,500

weighted into totals
——

—

$1k–$5k

Listing gives no running-rigging age; the design routes lines aft and carries reef, halyard, genoa and spinnaker controls, so UV/chafe condition matters for coastal passages.

$1,760

Loft inspection and coastal repair allowance for main and furling headsail

$2,200

—

$700–$6k

Listing mentions roller furling headsail and performance sail plan but gives no sail ages, cloth, reefing setup or condition; coastal passages still require sound stitching, UV cover and reefing.

$1k–$7k

Listing gives no engine hours or service records and conflicts between 29 hp headline and 21 hp detailed description; west-coast cruising depends heavily on reliable power for bars, current gates and lee shores.

$1,680

Shaft drive, cutless bearing and shaft-seal service allowance

$2,800

$800–$7k

Listing states shaft drive but gives no cutless bearing, seal, coupling, alignment or prop service history; 20-30 year band calls for measurement and likely seal/bearing service if records absent.

$500–$5k

Listing says wheel steering, while Jeanneau's specification and Yachting World review describe a tiller Sun Fast 35; whichever is fitted, the steering must be smooth and emergency steering proven before coastal bars and lee shores.

$500–$9k

Listing gives no through-hull inventory, material or operation. On a 22-year-old boat the 20-30 year band makes material identification and operation checks important.

$300–$5k

Listing only states an anchor locker; Jeanneau spec says a bow fitting and manual chain windlass were standard. Coastal cruising requires the load path to handle deep anchorages, but chain/anchor purchases are catalogue items.
