Shipman 28 with a fresh Ferryman Diesel engine for 4400 euros!

Friends, today we have a well-maintained Shipman 28 with a fresh Ferryman Diesel engine for 4400 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.86 meters
Beam: 2.60 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Nice and very well-maintained Shipman. Many people like this model for its layout.

The interior is in very good condition. New cushions. The saloon is clean and cozy.

There is a galley with a stove, sink and refrigerator.

The Shipman 28 has a fin keel, but it’s molded with the hull and has no bolts, which means there is nothing to rot. The rudder is protected with a skeg.

The old engine was replaced with a newer Ferryman Diesel with 12 hp with a reliable straight shaft.

I see in the photo a transom for mounting an outboard motor. It worries me. Usually, if you hang a transom «just in case», then most likely this case has already happened. It may have been installed before the purchase of a new engine. You have to be careful.

There is a mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furling. New Lewmar winches have been installed.

It’s said that the deck is covered with teak, but this is not visible in the photo. There is an anchor at the stern.

The photo shows that there is a spray hood, but the owner says it needs to be repaired (something with a zipper).

There is no information about the equipment, but there may be some minimal set, for example, VHF or log. I’ve already seen this before, I came to see an «empty» boat, but in fact it turned out that everything was there, and even an autopilot.

Vindö 50 with a Perkins engine for 44 000 euros!

Friends, today we have a Vindö 50 with a Perkins engine for 44 000 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 10.65 meters
Beam: 3.10 meters
Draft: 1.58 meters
Sleeping places: 7
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Beautiful and very well-maintained boat. Only two owners in the entire history. As it says in the original ad: the current owner has owned the boat since 2000 and has left nothing to chance during these 24 years. I think that I know this approach. Over the past 4 years, about 40,000 euros have been invested in the boat, and now it’s being sold at almost the price of these investments!

Thick fiberglass hull with mahogany and teak deck. The wooden elements are in excellent condition.

Every winter, the boat was stored in a warm, heated room.

The interior and cushions are in excellent condition. The underwater part has been cleaned and painted with a new antifouling.

The batteries and charger are new.

New standing rigging and a new furling mast. Genoa is also on the furling. This allows you to handle the setting of sails even alone. By the way, in this model, the marking «50» it’s not the length of the boat, but a sum of the areas of the staysail and mainsail.

The Perkins 54 hp engine was purchased in 2001 and still works as new.

A nice and fast boat after a major overhaul.

All the electrics and wiring are new, all the hoses of the water supply system have been replaced, the fresh water tank has been cleaned. If everything is done correctly, then this is very good and minus one “headache” for the coming years.

Just before the season, the entire standing and running rigging were replaced. The work was carried out by professionals. This is a very large investment, which cost almost 10,000 euros.

The Volvo Penta MD2030 engine was removed and completely repaired in 2022.

A full set of sails: a mainsail with a lazy bag and a genoa on a twist with a new UV protection.

The boat is literally “stuffed” with equipment, which can be accessed both from the helm and on the chart table. Please note how the chart table is equipped. The owner clearly appreciates comfort:)

Equipment: chartplotter, radar, autopilot, echo sounder, anchor winch with remote control at the helm, bow thruster, VHF with access in the cockpit, and much more.

There are more than 70 photos in the original ad. If you want me to send it to you, write below.

Maxi 95 for 24 000 euros!

Friends, today we have not just a boat for sale, but an opportunity to go on a trip to the Mediterranean!

Location: France

Length: 9.50 meters
Beam: 3.20 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

The boat is a Maxi 95, which is being sold by my subscriber. It was purchased in Sweden and is currently being sailed to the Mediterranean.

Now the boat has already been registered under the Polish flag and has reached France.
The price is 24,000 euros.

The cool thing about this offer is that you can immediately join the route and gain skills with an experienced skipper who is ready to show and tell everything. Two separate double cabins are suitable for this.

The hull and main components have been checked and are in perfect order. A new antifouling. New seacocks.

The 2006 Volvo Penta D1-30 engine is fully functional and serviced. The engine mounts are new, and it’s running very smoothly now.

The sails are in good working order. There is a furling.

In general, the list of completed works and improvements is very long. The boat was getting ready for a big passage. I consider such offers as «turn key» to be the most successful.

Comfort 30 with a teak deck and autopilot for only 5000 euros!

Friends, today we have a well-maintained Comfort 30 with a teak deck and autopilot for only 5000 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.09 meters
Beam: 3.03 meters
Draft: 1.70 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Very neat and well-maintained Comfort 30.

A nice Swedish sailboat with a nice interior and a beautiful teak deck.

The boat is ashore now. Parking is paid till the end of summer of 2025. It’s very good. There’s probably something on the boat that can be fixed or improved, and you won’t be pressed for time.

Two new batteries, purchased in 2024. New batteries are always a good thing. I would definitely check how it’s connected and in what condition the electrical wiring is.

The galley has a two-burner stove, sink and Isotherm refrigerator with freezer.

A new spray hood and cockpit tent have been sewn. There are cushions in the cockpit.

The deck is covered with teak. The wood looks great in the photo. Teak is expensive and difficult. It’s better trying to keep it in good condition than fixing it later.

Complete set of sails: a mainsail in a cover, a self-tacking jib on a furler and a genoa. The sheets and halyards are brought into the cockpit.

The boat has an inboard Volvo Penta MD7A engine, which was overhauled by professionals last year.

There is also an autopilot on the boat. It’s great. Especially in combination with the lines in the cockpit, as well as the self-tacking jib on the furler, it’s easy to cope with such a setup alone.

A good and quite seaworthy boat. There are only a few owners in the entire history of ownership.

The boat is clean and tidy. The cushions were reupholstered. The internal wood is in good condition.

Two important components have been replaced: new seacocks and a relatively new standing rigging. These are very important and expensive updates.

New hatch in the forward cabin.

Along the starboard side, there is a galley with an alcohol stove and a sink with two taps (fresh and seawater). The new Porta Potti toilet.

Sails: mainsail with a cover and genoa without a furling. There are also several genoas for different winds and a storm staysail with a spinnaker. The sheets and halyards are brought into the cockpit.

The boat has a Yanmar YSB8 diesel engine. There is no information about any problems with the engine in the ad. This engine is quite reliable, but you have to understand that the engine is not new.

Colin Archer 42 with an updated interior for 29 500 euros!

Friends, today we have an incredibly beautiful Colin Archer 42 with an updated interior for 29 500 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 12.80 meters
Beam: 4.25 meters
Draft: 2.60 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

For lovers of classics — beautiful and durable Colin Archer 42 ft.

The hull is cast from ferrocement, and the deck is made of ship pine.

Personally, I am delighted to look at such boats, but I prefer to look from the outside 🙂 But surely there are fans of such boats among you.

I have seen many times when a similar vessel comes into port, and all eyes are on it, including those who have to take mooring lines of other boats. 😁

The boat looks quite modern inside. The updated and cozy interior. Large kitchen with lots of kitchen appliances.

Plenty of deck space. The owner says that he could easily accommodate 20 guests, and everyone felt comfortable, and the table in the saloon accommodates 12 people. At the same time, you can stand tall in the saloon.

Complete set of sails: 5 sails with matching ropes and blocks.

The boat is equipped with a fresh Vetus engine with a power of 65 hp. The exhaust system was replaced in 2023. A 400-liter diesel tank.

The boat also has a relatively new Lewmar anchor winch with a chain.

All seacocks and new anodes have recently been replaced.

There is a crack on the rudder. It must either be repaired or a new rudder must be made (all drawings are available).

The boat is classic, but it has modern navigation electronics: Garmin wind instruments, depth meter, VHF, a life raft, a new compass, and more.

Maxi 95 with a dead engine for only 2500 euros!

Friends, today we have a Maxi 95 with a dead engine for only 2500 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.50 meters
Beam: 3.20 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

In my opinion, this is a very interesting offer. A fully functional and well-maintained boat.

The interior has been slightly renovated. New cushions. The galley has been updated. A new faucet is installed — looks nice. New stove with oven.

The sails look great: a mainsail with a lazy bag and genoa on a furling. All the lines are out in the cockpit.

There is a spray hood. The boom traveler is made so that you can install a bimini. In general, it’s clear that the boat is in the hands of an experienced sailor.

The low price is due to the fact that the engine is not running. It’s actually not that scary. You can find an inexpensive refurbished engine or buy a new one (approx cost 7-10K). To be honest, I even see advantages in this.

Let’s do the math. The market price for such a Maxi 95 starts from 13-15K. It will be a more «tired» boat with an old engine. Most likely without equipment. People buy such a boat and, most likely, will sail on it and constantly fix the engine, which will often break down.

Here you can also buy a good boat with autopilot and put a brand-new engine on it, and it will cost less than 10K.

Jeanneau Sun Magic 44 with a new engine for 41 200 euros!

Friends, today we have a boat for circumnavigation — Jeanneau Sun Magic 44 with a new engine for 41 200 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 13.34 meters
Beam: 4.24 meters
Draft: 2.12 meters
Sleeping places: 9
Toilet (head): 2
Kitchen (galley): yes

The boat was made in the years when the French shipyard Jeanneau paid more attention to the quality of boats. The model was produced with the expectation of long-term usage in harsh conditions.

The hull is reinforced with kevlar, which gives it extra durability. There is still a «hunt» for these boats among those who are going to circumnavigate.

The interior is a bit «tired», but there is some charm of it.

There are 4 cabins and 9 berths in total. One of the cabins has been converted into a warehouse, you can return it back. 2 bathrooms with showers.

The keel bolts have been replaced by professionals — this is a very important update for such a boat.

The second important and expensive upgrade is the new Volvo Penta D2-55 engine.

Seacocks were also replaced with composite Truedesign.

The supply of fresh water is almost 500 liters. The diesel tank (220 liters) has recently been cleaned.

A new heater with deflectors in all cabins has been installed.

Also, a dinghy with a Suzuki 4 hp outboard is given with the boat.
