Great way to compare similar boats; site needs help in saving searches.
I did find the sailboat I was interested in purchasing and am in the process of closing now. I have used YachtWorld for three prior sailboat purchases from 28'-43' and it was always helpful to see several boats in the category I was looking so I could compare. ( I placed boats on lakes and at the coast as the children and then grandchildren grew up). The descriptions were useful as were specifications. What I found as a distraction were boats for sale where the owners left all of their personal belongings lying around. Clean the boat then take the pictures. Show us that the boat was cared for. Also, if you are selling, have a reputable independent survey made. This will help expedite the sale and give the buyer confidence in the care of the boat. What I had the most problem with on the site was saving a search. I had to continually go back in and re-enter the data. Great service overall.
