Friends! Today we have a true gem — a Colin Archer 42, built in 1998. Price — 59 300 euro!

📍 Location: Norway

Length: 12.8 m
Beam: 3.7 m
Draft: 2.0 m
Displacement: 18,000 kg
Engine: Perkins 72 hp (inboard)
Fuel: diesel (2 x 150 L tanks)
Year: 1998
Hull material: ferrocement
Berths: 8 (7 sleeping)

Colin Archer is a name that has become synonymous with seaworthy reliability. His boats were designed to work in the harshest conditions of the Norwegian Sea: rescue vessels, fishing cutters, and cruising sailboats capable of withstanding any storm.

This sailboat is a larger replica of Archer’s famous Marie. She was built by one of Norway’s finest ferrocement specialists and became the pinnacle of his craft. Tora has already crossed the Atlantic and sailed to the Caribbean, and now she’s searching for a new owner.

On board: a full sail set including new mainsail and jib, electric windlass with remote, autopilot, GPS, VHF, sprayhood, cockpit shower with hot and cold water.

Inside: a galley with gas stove, fridge, cozy cabin with heater for winter berths. She also comes with new winches, electric and manual bilge pumps, fresh wiring, and a neat interior. Included is a 10-foot Highfield inflatable dinghy with aluminum bottom and Tohatsu 9.9 outboard (about 5 years old).

Of course, a sailboat like this requires more care and attention than a standard fiberglass boat. But rest assured — both in harbor and at sea, she will turn heads wherever you go.
