If the decks are solid and the guy has a title, it may be worth doing. Boards can be repaired. Tramps, standing rigging and running rigging are easy (just takes $$$). But if the decks are soft......
Make sure there's a boom and mainsheet tackle. If it's got the old rudder castings with aluminum cams, check them carefully. If something fails (other than a blade), parts are not available. The rudder casting upgrade is a $500+ gig.
If none of the above makes sense to you, find a cat guy to take with you.
