Albin Accent sailboat for 3160 EUR!

Friends, today we’re reviewing an Albin Accent sailboat for 3160 EUR!

📍Location: Sweden, Haninge

Length: 8 meters
Beam: 2.8 meters
Draft: 1.54 meters
Berths: 4–5 (depending on height)
Toilet: yes
Galley: yes

The price is slightly above average for Swedish listings, but that’s due to the many upgrades and the overall great condition of the boat.

One family has owned it for the past 8 years. Based on the announcement, they’ve had many adventures and explored the Baltic Sea thoroughly 🙂 Now their family is growing, so they need a bigger boat.

You can clearly see the boat was well-loved and had money invested into upgrades — probably worth more than the boat herself.

The mainsail (dacron) was purchased in 2019. It has lazy bag and lazy jacks (not mentioned in the ad but visible in the photos), a Genoa 1 on a Furlex, a symmetrical spinnaker in good condition.

The sprayhood was updated in 2024.

Other great features:
Simrad TP10 autopilot (2023), depth sounder, compass, GPS plotter with Stockholm archipelago charts, 2 x 25W solar panels (2023), 10A MPPT solar regulator (2020), charging station with USB and cigarette lighter socket, 2 x Bruce anchors, etc.

In the galley, there’s a fresh energy-efficient compressor fridge (2022) and a gas stove. Electric sea and freshwater pumps.

Toilet has a holding tank and deck pump-out fitting.

The boat comes with 4 struts and a winter storage tent.

I’d say this boat is fully loaded. Not many owners are willing to invest so much in a budget-friendly sailboat.

I’d probably refresh the cushions and do some light woodwork inside to make it look newer. Other than that, this is a dream — especially for one just starting sailing.

KR 6.5 for 19 500 euros!

Friends, today we have a classic 10-meter yacht from a follower — KR 6.5 for 19 500 euros!

Location: Germany

Length: 10.00 meters
Beam: 2.75 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes

My follower sells his boat. It looks like the hull is made of fiberglass, and the deck is made of thick solid mahogany.

This design is much easier to maintain than a solid wooden boat, but she still has its own classic charm.

Due to the long keel, the boat is very reliable and stable on the course.

A powerful Yanmar engine is installed.

A complete set of good sails. There is a furling headsail and UV protection on both sails.

The boat is in almost perfect condition inside. There is a galley with a stove and sink. A dedicated toilet.

There is a fairly powerful anchor winch on the bow.

The teak deck looks great. It’s clear that the boat was in the loving hands of an experienced sailor.

Despite the classic design, the boat has useful modern equipment: autopilot, lag, echo sounder.

Motorsailer LM27 for 14 200 euros!

Friends, today we have a motorsailer LM27 for 14 200 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.35 m
Beam: 2.75 m
Draft: 0.95 m
Berths: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

The boat was built in 1979 at a well-known Danish shipyard. The classic LM27 model is a proven motorsailer with a good reputation.

This boat has only had two owners, and that usually suggests careful and consistent use.

With a yacht like this, you typically get a clear maintenance history and a lower risk of hidden issues (there’s little chance it was quickly patched up just to resell at a higher price). It’s an especially good sign if one of the owners had the boat for a long time and took loving care of it.

The current owner has taken great care of the boat and carried out regular maintenance, especially on the engine and hull. All equipment is in good condition, and the boat is ready to launch right now.

The boat is equipped with a Volvo Penta MD17C engine, 36 hp. Serviced every season.

The sail setup includes a furling headsail and a classic mainsail with cover. Lazy jacks are installed as well.

The saloon looks very well-kept and cozy. The sofas in the saloon convert into two double beds. All hatches have been replaced with aluminum frames and tempered glass.

Separate toilet with a 60-liter holding tank.

The galley is located in the pilothouse. There is a gas stove. All dishes and kitchen equipment are included.

Also onboard: 2 autopilots, compass, depth sounder, windex, chartplotter, VHF radio. There’s a diesel heater for comfort in colder seasons.

A trailer can be purchased with the boat.

The boat has been painted, polished, and is fully ready for the season.

Hallberg-Rassy Misil II with a new engine for just 2000 euros!

Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy Misil II with a new engine for just 2000 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 7.35 meters
Beam: 2.30 meters
Draft: 1.20 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A legendary and reliable Swedish-made boat. More than 50 years ago, about 600 hulls were produced, and most of them still sail the seas.

The modified long keel is my favorite type of keel. The boat has more maneuverability (compared to a common long keel), but at the same time it’s the same reliable and durable system without keel bolts.

The owner says that even at 17 m/s the boat is steady on course and feels confident.

The interior is well preserved, but the upholstery needs to be replaced in one place — this is not big a problem.

There is a galley with a stove and sink.

A complete set of sails. A mainsail with a cover, a staysail and a spinnaker with a spinnaker boom.

The engine on the boat is almost new — it’s a 2020 Suzuki 6 hp.

There is also a stationary VHF, two hand-held walkie-talkies, a compass, a new house battery, and more.

The yacht is equipped with a three-cylinder Volvo Penta engine with a two-blade propeller, 20 hp, from 1996. Saildrive. The engine is in good condition and works great.

For the safety of his family and for racing, the owner installed a new mast with double spreaders, a new mast base, and a new boom. The new mast is stronger than the old one. All rigging has also been replaced, and the sprayhood has been updated.

Complete set of sails: a new mainsail from Gran Sails, a roller-furling genoa. There are also two additional genoas, one medium and one large, and two spinnakers.

Inside the boat, there are no unpleasant odors. It looks well-maintained and cozy. It comfortably accommodates 6 people.

The galley is equipped with a new gas stove with an oven, and there is a refrigerator.

The galley is separated and located between the salon and the forward cabin.

The owner recommends updating the gas lines, connecting new water hoses, and installing a toilet with new hoses. All necessary parts are available and completely new.

Colin Archer, but it’s a project — the hull is being given away for just 1,000 SEK (that’s €90 or $100)!

Friends!

Today, we have a mahogany Colin Archer, but it’s a project — the hull is being given away for just 1,000 SEK (that’s €90 or $100)!

Read thoroughly and let me know what you think. In my opinion, this is an incredible opportunity for a certain group of people.

📍 Location: Sweden

Length: 12.8 meters
Beam: 4.3 meters
Planking: Mahogany, 4.5 cm thick!
Keel: Lead
Deck & Superstructure: fiberglass reinforced plastic
Bolts: Stainless steel
🚫 Engine: Not yet installed
🚫 Interior: Not yet built

If you were to start a similar project from scratch, the cost would be in the five-figure range. Mahogany is an incredibly expensive material.

Colin Archer is a dream boat for many. If you bring this yacht to completion, its value will be several hundred thousand euros. But this is a big project, it will take months of work, and you’ll need at least one more person to help you keep going and not give up.

Once finished, this will be an amazing cruiser, capable of taking you around the world! A mahogany Colin Archer will turn heads everywhere — whether you enter a marina, a port, or drop anchor, you’ll be the center of attention.

This is a dream project, but it requires time, effort, and dedication. Some tasks can be outsourced (such as engine installation).

You could also sail the boat from Sweden to the Baltics and complete the interior work there.

With a 4.3-meter beam, this boat offers massive living space — practically a floating house where you can design your dream interior!
