Friends! Today we have a compact and atmospheric sailboat that could be a great option for a first boat — a Benford 27 for only 1300 euro!
📍 Location: Sweden
Main parameters:
Length: 8.10 m
Beam: 2.64 m
Displacement: approx. 5 t
Sail area: 42 m²
Engine: Volvo Penta MD5, diesel
Hull: ferrocement
The boat is a classic Scandinavian design with a teak deck.
The hull is built of ferrocement, which makes it strong and able to withstand knocks against rocks or piers without trouble. It doesn’t rot, isn’t prone to corrosion or osmosis, and it retains heat while lasting for decades.
This boat also has an impressively smooth motion. There’s a specific measure called the Motion Comfort Ratio, and on the Benford 27 it’s higher than 98% of yachts of similar size. In simple terms, she handles rolling far more gently.
Equipped with a Volvo Penta MD5 diesel engine, a staysail and a furling genoa.
Inside there is a galley, an electric toilet with a septic tank, and a heater for warmth on cool days.
A good balance of coziness, simplicity, and seafaring reliability.
The bottom appears to be painted.
