The corvette tugged at my heartstrings before I bought Windstar, and I had a chance to look at several. They are quite a bit "rougher" than later boats (more like smaller boatyard's' stuff) and there were a few issues I saw across several examples. Check the glassed-in knees where the shrouds attach. This had either been repaired or required repair in the boats I had looked at. This repair is not a big deal for a competent amateur. Similarly, several had wet/soft decks. One (sadly) needed much of the cored area rebuilt, and the area around the lazarette could not be trusted to bear my weight. Poor guy would have given me the boat I think. For sure check that. Lastly, two of the boats I had looked at had hydraulic backstay adjusters. Both boats had very distorted topsides at approximately the location where the shrouds attach. It gave the impression that the hull had buckled due to the force of the adjusters. . All that said, I'd buy one at the right price because they are probably pretty easy to work on (myself) and they are very pretty.
Good luck.
