Check out gumtree , I have picked up 2 hobie 16 s over the years for free one on a trailer with sails and rigging ( both fairly crappy and needed some work but usable) , my brother got a calypso 13 hulls only and a hobie 14 hulls mast and tramp no sail for free , and he picked up a fully rigged 16 ft super nova trimaran for $60 , only thing missing was the centreboard ( lady could not find it ).

You would not build anything from scratch that is seaworthy for $60.if you do , find a cheap old windsurfing rig ,


If not
Keep an eye on gumtree in the giveaway section.
