Friends, today we have a Daimio 28 sailboat with a Yanmar 8 hp engine for 3,500 euro!
Location: Sweden
Length: 8.4 meters
Width: 2.8 meters
Draft: 1.3 meters
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available
Berths: 5
Daimio 28 includes double cabin, living room (salon) with a double and a single coaches, comfortable planning with a large table and a separate toilet.
About the sailing equipment: the price includes solar panels, a septic tank, an autopilot, GPS, a VHF radio, an echo sounder, stereo system, etc. The price also includes a standard set of sails (a genoa and a mainsail) in excellent condition.
If you buy a Daimio 28 for 3,500 euro, most likely you will invest from 500 to 3,000 euro to prepare the boat for the passage, 100-200 euro per year for insurance (depends on insurance), 50-1000 euro for registration for 3-5 years (depends on the register).
In addition, it is important to think over the route and the final point of the sailboat’s location. In the Mediterranean sea, for example, you can find marinas with annual prices: Tunisia – 800-1500 euro per year; Greece – 1500-2500 euro per year; Turkey – 2000-3000 euro per year; Italy, Spain, France – 2000-4000 euro per year.
So, if you have a budget of 5000-7000 euro – Daimio 28 is a good option.
The only thing that confuses me is the old engine, but you can hardly find a boat with a fresh inboard engine for 3500 euro.
