Hi Timbo,
A used Vectorworks Blade could probably be bought and shipped to Germany, Switzerland or Italy for less than 10,000 euros at today's exchange rates, $1.47 per Euro = $14,700. If $1,470 of that were for shipping, the boat could be sold for about $13,000 US, which should get you a good Blade here.
The exchange rate must be 1.64, then I would bite into it <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. But maybe my employer (who sells his products in $)will also cut my salary with such a exchange rate <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
Cheers
