Had a Sadler 34 as family boat, didn't go any further than cross channel, but certainly a capable boat.

Other than the foam core another thing to watch out for is the lower chainplates. Under the deck there is a stainless "knee" which is used to bring the loading further outboard, and ours had an abrupt 90 degree angle in it that is prone to cracking at the weld. As others have done, we had a rounded section welded in at this point. To spot if the knee has already given, look carefully at the deck around the chainplates to see if it has lifted at all, indicating the knee has gone.

Other than that, lovely boat.
