This is a fairly regular question and one I avoid trying to answer in great detail, the reason being we are all different and unless we are building a so called One Design, the boats tend all to be fitted out very differently.
The words below come from a prospective customer for a Didi 40cr, in this case I supplied the link below, its from a story I had published in SA Yachting, then later updated and in Duckworths Magazine. The words hold good today and I doubt will ever change really.

Roy,
Once the hull is finished – What would my budget be for the rest of the
equipment like mast and sails, Yanmar motor, winches and steering?
This was the first Didi 38 hull.
Check the
link, my story and based around Black Cat.
The same boat and at the Royal Cape Yacht Club in Cape Town.

Simply put you really need to cost your boat yourself, its all part of the fun process of building and then fitting out your own boat.
