Finngulf 34RC with a fresh Craftsman engine for € 28 000!

Friends, today we have a Finngulf 34RC with a fresh Craftsman engine for € 28 000!

Location: Germany

Length: 10.43 meters
Beam: 3.26 meters
Draft: 1.88 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A good and seaworthy boat made in Finland. The model was created to participate in regattas, but at the same time it has everything you need for comfortable cruising.

The boat looks well-kept. Beautiful interior. It looks like the cushions have been updated. There are good new mattresses on the berths.

A galley with a stove with an oven, two sinks and a refrigerator.

The electrics have been updated. New lithium house batteries, new starter battery. Separate lithium battery for the anchor winch. There is a solar panel.

There is a hydro generator on the boat, the owner wants an additional fee for it (a new one costs about € 2500). I would try to bargain and pick it up for free.

The standing rigging has been partially replaced (a very important update).

A complete set of sails: a new mainsail 2024 with a lazy bag, a new genoa 2021 on a furling, a spinnaker with a carbon spinnaker boom and older spare sails. New Dyneema running rigging. All the ropes are out in the cockpit.

The boat has a fresh 2014 Craftsman CM 2.16 engine with 1400 hours, which runs well.

The cockpit is covered with teak. There is a spray hood and a swimming ladder at the stern. The anchor winch with a 50 meter chain on the bow.

There are some useful electronics on board: TackTick devices (the current Raymarine), autopilot, VHF with AIS. Judging by the photo, there is no chartplotter, instead they used a phone with Navionics maps. I sailed this way from Sweden to Tunisia.

A reliable and safe boat from the legendary Swedish shipyard. The hull is made of thick plastic and has a long keel.

The market price range for this model is about 30-35K, and taking into account the region, the offer looks very interesting.

The classic interior is in excellent condition. All the wooden elements look good.

There is a Webasto in the salon. There is hot water in the galley and in the shower. There is a BBQ grill on the stern.

A complete set of sails: a mainsail with a cover, a staysail on a furler and a blister (asymmetric spinnaker). The halyards are carried in the cockpit, which allows you to set sails even alone.

The Volvo Penta MD11C engine is serviced and works perfectly.

Teak deck and teak cockpit. The wood looks good.

There is a fairly powerful anchor winch with an anchor and 50 meters of anchor chain on the bow.

The new sprayhood and bimini are very good for the Middle—Earth.

Beneteau First 38 with a Yanmar engine for € 38 600!

Friends, today we have a Beneteau First 38 with a Yanmar engine for € 38 600!

Location: Caribbean Islands

Length: 12.25 meters
Beam: 3.90 meters
Draft: 2.10 meters
Sleeps: 9
Toilet (head): 2
Kitchen (galley): yes
Shower: yes

The boat is currently crossing the Atlantic and will be sold when it arrives in the Caribbean. It’s common when people sell a boat after a long trip for which they have been preparing for a long time. As a rule, such boats are well equipped and prepared.

The Beneteau First 38 is over 40 feet long, despite the model name. These models have an excellent balance of driving characteristics and comfort level.

Before the Transatlantic, she has been prepared properly. New antifouling. New running rigging with Dyneema halyards. New stay and shrouds.

The boat also looks well-kept inside. Three cabins and two bathrooms (one with a manual pump, the second electric).

Separate starter and house AGM batteries. LED lighting. There is a solar panel.

A large set of sails: a staysail on a furler, a mainsail, a genoa, an additional new genoa and a new spinnaker.

In 2018, a new Yanmar engine was installed on the boat.

Relatively new sprayhood and bimini, on a stainless steel frame.

Of course, there must be a lot of equipment on boats that go across the Atlantic. There is a chartplotter, autopilot, AIS, VHF, echo sounder, anemometer, powerful anchor winch with chain and much more.

For an extra fee, you can pick up a life raft (active) and a dinghy with an outboard. I would try to bargain and pick them up for free.

If necessary, the owner is ready to deliver the boat back to Norway, but it will take time.

Rival RB111 with a Yanmar engine for 29 900 euros!

Friends, today we have a Rival RB111 with a Yanmar engine for 29 900 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 11.10 meters
Beam: 2.70 meters
Draft: 1.75 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A beautiful and well-maintained Swedish-made boat. The model has good sailing characteristics and the previous owner has repeatedly won regattas on this boat.

The teak interior is in very good condition. The keel bolts are visible in the photo and they look like they are quite new. If so, then this is a very important and time-consuming update.

The galley is equipped with a stove with oven, sink and refrigerator. There is hot water.

A toilet with a septic tank is located between the salon and the forward cabin.

There is a Wallas heater on the boat.

A new lithium battery bank has been installed.

Full set of sails: kevlar staysail, kevlar genoa, mainsail, spinnaker and gennaker. The sails were checked at the Gran Seil professional sailing workshop.

The original Yanmar 2GM engine was recently taken out and overhauled and works well.

There is an anchor winch with a chain on the bow, but its length is unknown. Most likely it’s about 50 meters, this is enough to stand at a depth of 8-10 meters. There is also an anchor with a line at the stern.

The boat also has the following equipment: chartplotter, autopilot with the rudder stock drive, VHF and more.

The photo shows a dinghy (inflatable boat). If it can also be picked up along with the boat, then that’s good.

Volvo Penta engine for only 32 400 euros!

Friends, today we have a Gib Sea 472 with a Volvo Penta engine for only 32 400 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 14.30 meters
Beam: 4.30 meters
Draft: 2.00 meters
Sleeping places: 12
Toilet (head): 5
Kitchen (galley): yes
Shower: 5

A very interesting offer for those who are not afraid to put their hands and a little love to the boat.

The 47-feet yacht with 5 cabins is ready to go to sea, but needs to be improved.

Mostly cosmetic tasks. For example, there are no cushions in the cabins, and in one bathroom (there are 3 in total) there is no toilet bowl. The wood is worn in places, but this is not such a big problem.

Both sails are on the furling (mainsail and staysail), but they should be replaced in the near future. The running rigging looks fine, but some lines will most likely need to be replaced too.

There are a lot of household appliances on the boat: washing machine, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner. There is a heater.

At first, you can sleep in the salon, there are good new cushions sewn there.

There is a chartplotter, autopilot and VHF.

The price of such a boat in normal condition is 75-85K. The most expensive part is most likely the sails, but I would look on the spot, maybe they can be updated gradually.
