I'll be interested to hear what you find. Although a bit too far away from me at the moment. We're getting pretty close to just buying the best available boat for around $10K, so we can start sailing, while continuing to look for the right boat. After nearly a year at this, I realized that this is going to take a while, and getting out sailing, being the whole point of it, will make the search process a lot less frustrating...
Our choices locally right now, for around $10K CAD:
Hullmaster 27 (Ted Brewer full keel design)
Crown 28 (similar to Cal 2-27, built in Vancouver, two of them available)
CS 27
Alberg 30 (not really interested, but I'm still curious to look - interior is very small)
Santana 30
Other boats I'm sort of curious about for $20-25K CAD:
Crown 34 (later sold as San Juan 34 - solid, fast boat)
Alberg 37 (old, but solid and classic looks)
Catalina 30 (yes, a Winnebago, but they are popular, so easy for resale...)
Peterson 35 (Vancouver built, based on Ganbare 35 racer)
C&C 30-1
