Both nice boats and I imagine both very capable of cruising in style. The Holland boat looks like it started life as a racer and then got itself gentrified for cruising. Given they are both the same money, my pick would be the Jeanneau.
I think he's bought a jeep
one of the Swedish back packers owns that one
At least I know the crocs have not eaten him yet
The Holland is my dream. Something about that boat is very very nice.
And watching a Swedish elderly imergrint on his second attempt to sail from adelaide to Perth get towed back buy the police boat!
Methinks Southace is in SA, both of those boats in the pic, Vivaldi and Geomatic Joker are SA boats and looking at the line up of chimneys in the pic I'd say Marina Adelaide.

No sorry to busy working on a friends old boat!
Lovely boat. I was really tempted by this one. Drove over to Adelaide to check her out but decided she was just too big for my use. Draft would have limited the occasions I could use my local slip as well. Kaufman 35 or 36, lot of boat.
Cast the skeg and bolted through into the rotten keelson with big backing plates!

There was of course always a reason as to why it was so cheap. As often stated on here, it pays to sometimes spend a bit more at the beginning and be saved from discovering very expensive dramas later.
I had to extend the skeg plate forward just to find some hard wood to get the bolts through! The engineer should be finished with the rusted shaft joiner,Vdrive and worn prop shaft soon and then I will check alignment and if possible sika the skeg and rebolt and hopefully be in the water tomorrow ready for a test sail! Bloody boats!

If the P bracket mounting is rotten, what about the keelbolts?
The keel is well built and full lead thank god! The skeg bolts under the main engine and flywheel had sunken 2 inches causing the whole skeg to drop. Mate was worried about the packing gland as he thought he had a leak! Lucky we made the 8 mile passage round to the slip way without further damage!
Back in the water skeg solid. No leaks! 4 days on the hard.keel did drop a bit when we lifted it should have re fastened it while on the hard! 25 knots SW no sailing today.
