This Compass 31 ketch motorsailer was built in Denmark in 1975 and has had only one owner. The single-owner history means the boat’s maintenance and upgrades are easy to trace. It also suggests careful treatment and minimal risky modifications.
The layout is practical for a 31-foot yacht. There is a forward cabin for two, a cozy saloon with galley, and an aft cabin for two more. The aft cabin adds comfort, which is uncommon for this size.
A rare upgrade is the shower, installed by the owner. Showers are not usually found on boats of this length, so this is a thoughtful improvement for longer stays.
The listing says that a new Volvo Penta 2003T engine was installed at Kalvetangen Marina in 2024. However, based on the photos, it doesn’t look “brand new” — it’s worth checking with the seller, as it might have been a newer unit purchased second-hand.
The railings have been raised for extra safety, especially important if sailing with children. The original stanchions are included if you want a lower profile.
The boat comes with a range of useful extras: lines, fenders, a new forward hatch, life jackets, and tools. She is currently berthed at Frognerkilen Båtforening, Oslo.
Direct seller contact is available by phone. This is valuable for buyers without Norwegian or Swedish bank ID.
