knowledge of..... small S.African steel cruisers ?
 
Seems to me sailing in the vicinity of the Cape, there wouldn't be much
market for crap, but.....

Who designed/made good ones ?

Is a narrow fin keel & fairly deep skeg-hung rudder OK for bluewater
cruising ?

What to look/look-out for ?

How do prices compare with similar U.S. boats ?

How to discern that the steel is for real....i.e. that it's not masking a
rust-bucket ?

Appreciatively,

Courtney
