newish member looking for boat

[Marvs]

I have been following for while, and i enjoy reading and learning here.
I will be living in the Philippines(Bohol area) before the end of November,and i am looking for my first big sailboat. i have only sailed hobie style, and lazer types before. If anyone knows of something used in the 34 ft range, or advice help in finding,checking out, i would appreciate.
I am very mechanical but i know nothing about fiberglass, having worked with aluminum and steel my entire life. Hoping to find a nice shoal draft coastal cruiser, preferable aft cockpit. Not interested in a live aboard at this point. And my lack of sailing knowledge and experience is vast. Budget is not a huge concern, but i would prefer to keep it under 40K USD.

Welcome aboard Marvs! There are quite a few boats that may fit your description. If you see one that catches you eye in a local marina, let us know. Chances are there will be someone here who owns one or knows them!
