Hello everyone,
I'm trying to get back into cat sailing and I can get my hand on a Hobie f18 tiger from 1998, complete with the spinnaker and the road trailer for about €1600/ $1900.
The only issue reported is that the boat has 2 leaks, 1 in each of the daggerboard case( I have some pictures here
https://photos.app.goo.gl/5jyVSLgRMe3EZgyz6 ).
The current owner tells me that the leak was caused by them running in a sandbank which caused a previous repair to fail.
It currently is taking too much water to be sailable.
I haven't seen the boat in person yet but is it even worth moving forward, knowing about the leaks? How much of a pain would it be to fix a leak in what sounds like a painful place to work on.
Is it worth it after taking into account the price ?
Thanks in advance for your advice !
