 Budget Shaula3


 

Indietro/back

 

We spent almost exactly 300,000 Euros to purchase and equip the boat: had we bought it new, we would have spent about 90,000 more. This may seem a lot, but have a look at the following list, and you will not find a lot of things that you would not carry during a similar voyage! In fact, there are a few missing, like for example a genset or a central heating system or, perhaps more important, a twin-headsail system.

The following is a list of the costs incurred to buy and equip the boat; to be noted that many installation works were done by ourselves, while a few we had to commission to the yard due to lack of time or complexity of the work.   Some savings would have been possible with more time available.
