Albin Viggen suits for the ones who want to try sailing. A good first sailboat for a small company or a solo traveler. After you gain first experience, you’ll decide if sailing life is for you, maybe find a larger sailboat, 27-32 feet.
As you have already noticed, there are the following types of sailboats in the price range of 1000-3000 euro:
up to 7.5 meters with an outboard motor;
over 7.5 meters with an old diesel engine;
more than 7.5 meters with an outboard motor instead of dismantled old diesel engine.
Out of these 3 options, I prefer to choose a sailboat up to 7.5 meters with an outboard motor, especially if the motor is new and 4-stroke. Since on a boat up to 7.5 meters it will consume about 1-1.5 liters per hour, which is relatively inexpensive.
Albin Viggen 23 has a draft of 1.1 meters, which allows you to climb into different coves without running aground, you can often go right to the shore.
The boat will be equipped with a new 4-stroke SeaFox 5 hp outboard motor in 2021, at the moment there is still an 8-month guarantee!
About the sailing equipment: the price includes a standard set of sails (and a jib furler), a new cover for a mainsail. Inside, the interior has been updated and new sofas have been made.
Unfortunately, the seller gave little information about the technical condition of the boat, but you can request an online viewing, I think this has become normal in terms of the pandemics 🙂
