Is This 1972 Irwin Classic SAILBOAT the BEST Starter Boat for $12k? Full Tour! Canadian Ken and I found a great one. Not only is she an ideal first big boat, she's comfortable, low maintenance, and easy to sail. And a ton of work has been done to her within the past few years, not the least of which is a rebuilt Yanmar diesel engine with about 150 hrs on it. The full list is below. In the meantime, enjoy this tour because we certainly did, though getting out to the boat in the borrowed dinghy proved to be a challenge. REMEMBER, if you're considering buying this boat or any boat, get a professional marine survey (two local ones are listed below)!
