Looking for a 29er to charter

There is one for sale in Holland at the moment. I was looking at buying it, but have decided to go a different route. They are currently looking at what it would cost to ship over here. it's a good tidy boat, it might be worth thinking about it. Look on the international 29er site.

Tedros there seems to be a load for sale here at some fairly keen prices:

The boats on the RYA 29er Marketplace are priced way beyond what they're worth. Although many are (apparently) in very good condition, boats that old simply won't have a high resale value. They're really worth about £2500-3000 at best, given that a 2005 boat with 2 sets of sails generally comes in at around £4200. Also, I've kept an eye on that site since I first noticed it 5 months ago (I've just been through the process of finding a second-hand 29er), and there hasn't been a single change on it; they're still advertising accommodation for the 2010 Europeans last September. It's almost certainly a dead website.

Anyone know what a 29er in the 400s with 1 very good (top 5 at worlds), good set of sails and fitted out with brand new ropes/blocks that is race rigged probably better than any other boat in the fleet is worth??

I'd guess a 400s boat with one suit of sails would come in at around £2500 plus around £500 if it's in good condition, so maybe £3000 (that's assuming there's a combi trailer). GBR401 went for about £2800 a few months ago, the advert said it had loads of kit but wasn't a perfect hull. That's just a guess based on the boats I've seen on the market in the last 6 months. The 100-300s numbers go for around £2000-2500, the 400-800s numbers up to £3800, and then 900-1500s go for £3500-5000. Beyond that, you're into the last 2-3 years, and not many are on the second-hand market.
