Thanks! There is quite a lot coming onto the market at the moment. I had been on a Vancouver pilot 38 and a HR36 a wee while ago, which was really what prompted the question. Quite a few of those would tick the boxes. My boat will be between 36 and 40 feet, more than 20 years old, located in Scotland (NW England or NI at a push) and less (hopefully quite a bit less) than 120k.

We have an HR36. Currently based Dunstaffnage.

Love it.
