This boat was made in 2000. Its size falls under the category of up to 9 meters. It means that the mooring fee in the marinas will always be affordable.
There’s probably the original 2000 Volvo Penta 18 h.p. engine. Nothing is said about its problems, most likely it works properly. The fuel reserve is 80 liters. It’s about 60 hours or 300 nautical miles.
The sails are almost new, from 2020 (genoa, mainsail and spinnaker). All the ropes go to the cockpit. There’s a lazy jack, a cover for the mainsail. Genoa also has UV protection.
The equipment includes a stationary VHF radio station with a distress function, a Simrad TP 22 autopilot, an anemometer and an echo sounder. There’s a navigator with the MOB (man overboard) function, good music system onboard, 2 x 64Ah batteries with a charger, and an automatic switch from 220V to 12V, charging for devices, a compass and a direction finder.
There’s a shower onboard and a 170-liters tank. Toilet is in excellent condition, 2 pumps, a 60-liters fridge, a gas stove with 2 burners and a gas leak sensor, a life raft (2019), an inflatable boat (2010), an anchor chain of 30 meters + 30 meters of anchor rope, anchor 15kg, as well as many other mooring equipment and fenders.
The boat looks fresh from the inside and looks very modern from the outside. It also has a shower and everything you need. Good balance of comfort and the cost of ownership, well-suited for Mediterranean, especially for marinas with water and electricity but no shower.
