If your budget is only $60,000, you may have to downsize your dreams a bit. You can find some excellent, strong sailboats in that range between 35 - 45 feet, as long as a) you're not afraid of tackling some electrical/plumbing/mechanical projects, and b) you get a good surveyor to check out all the systems. The problem is that the purchase price of a boat is only the beginning. expect to spend at least 10% of the purchase price each year on maintenance and system upgrades/replacement. Then there's the dockage, which tends to be charged by the foot, so a 65' boat is charged quite a bit more than a 40' boat. You also didn't mention your experience level - a 65' sailboat is quite a lot of boat to handle. However, if you are determined to find yourself such a boat, find a broker you feel you can trust. they have access to far more resources than just yachtworld and may be able to find you a firesale (hopefully not literally) on a 65' boat with sails that won't blow apart the first time you raise them. Also, check craigslist. they occasionally have listings from people who just need to get rid of a boat they bought, no matter what price. lastly, ebay is starting to show more boats on its ebay motors pages. But seriously, on that budget, consider something smaller that will be in better condition and is less likely to become the biggest hole in the water in which to pour money that you've ever seen.
