Friends! Today we’ve got a well-kept and season-ready boat — Dufour 30 Classic, for just 21 000 euros!

📍 Location: Norway

Specs:
Length: 9.15 m
Beam: 2.95 m
Draft: 1.75 m
Engine: Volvo Penta MD2020, 19 hp
Fuel tank: 79 L
Water tank: 170 L
Berths: 6

The Dufour 30 Classic is a safe and comfortable boat, perfect for a couple or a small family.

Spacious cockpit, roomy interior, and smart layout. She has a galley with stove, bathroom with shower, a separate forward cabin, and a large double berth in the aft cabin. Webasto heater is installed, though it currently needs servicing.

The sail inventory is solid: mainsail from 2021 with lazy jacks and genoa from 2019 on furler.

There’s also an asymmetric spinnaker and spinnaker pole. All lines are led to the cockpit for easy singlehanded sailing. Equipped with a Raytheon autopilot.

Navigation instruments are on board, but not all are functional — the owner mainly used a tablet with Navionics. Speed and depth sensor is currently not working (possibly due to growth).

Also on board: electric windlass with remote, solar panels, and shore power connection.

Friends! Today we’ve got a true Scandinavian classic — the Norlin 37, available for just 35 400 euros!

Location: Sweden

Specifications:
• Length: 11.03 m
• Beam: 3.60 m
• Draft: 1.98 m
• Displacement: 8,000 kg
• Engine: Volvo Penta D2-55, 55 hp, installed in 2013, only 360 engine hours
• Fuel tank: 90 L
• Water tanks: 2 x 100 L
• Berths: up to 6

The boats look good and well-maintained. In 2011, a Seldén furling mast was added; in 2013, a brand-new engine was installed.

Peter Norlin himself said about this model: “The boat sails well, the balance is perfect, and beating upwind in a blow is a joy in the 37.” And it’s true — she’s stiff, stable, and confidently handles full sail even in tougher conditions.

Equipment highlights:
– Sails: a mainsail and genoa from 2011, plus a spanker and spinnaker pole
– Anchors: 15 kg Bruce anchor forward (with windlass) and another at the stern
– Electronics: Raymarine ST60 suite, Garmin GPSmap 298, autopilot
– Galley: gas stove with oven and fridge
– Heating: Eberspächer diesel heater
– Extras: inflatable dinghy with Honda 2.3 hp outboard, dodger, awning, 3 solar panels, shore power, and more.

Known issues:
– The teak in the cockpit needs some love
– Waste tank should be upgraded with a deck pump-out

Otherwise — the boat is in great shape, well-kept hull, and a cozy interior.

Friends! Today we have a classic — OE36 (Olle Enderlein), for only 15 200 euros!

Location: Sweden

Specifications:
Length: 11.03 m
Beam: 3.13 m
Draft: 1.80 m
Engine: Volvo Penta D2-40, 36.9 hp, 400 hours
Fuel tank: 80 L
Water tank: 120 L
Sleeping places: 6

One of the most interesting boats of its time — durable, marine, elegant. I’m alway pleased to share this finding because I have respected the OE36 for its balanced combination of aesthetics and reliability. The designer is Olle Enderlein, one of the legends of the Swedish school, and in my opinion, these boats are greatly underestimated by the market.

This boat is well maintained: it has a new Volvo Penta D2-40 engine, all electrics have been replaced, new pumps and panels, an automatic pump was added (2024), heating was installed (not used).

The sails are in good condition: a furling genoa and mainsail. Navigation — the owner used an iPad with Navionics, but also has an old Garmin chartplotter.

A set of anchors, tools, filters and spares is available.

There is also an inflatable boat, which adds value to this offer.

Below deck it’s clean and cozy: sleeping places are in the forward cabin, the saloon and a separate bunk. The boat was stored at the shipyard in winter, and little is used during the season — only short daytime trips.

An additional plus is that the boat insurance is paid until 2026.

Friends! Today we’ve got a Marieholm 32 — one of my all-time favorite models — for just 19 300 euros!

Location: Sweden

Specs:
Length: 9.75 m
Beam: 3.00 m
Draft: 1.55 m
Engine: Lombardini LDW 1404, 40 hp, 286 hours
Fuel tank: 40 L
Water tank: 175 L
Berths: 5

I know this model well — my friend sailed a similar boat (the 32E version) from Sweden to Tunisia. Since then, I’ve had a soft spot for Marieholm. By the way, some of the videos in my course were actually filmed on this very boat 🙂

It’s a solid, seaworthy cruiser built by Swedes for serious sailing, with a strong reputation and an active owner community — which means you can always get help from people who know this boat inside and out, if you ever need it.

This particular boat stands out in many ways: the engine is recent and lightly used, and it’s equipped with furlers for both the genoa and gennaker. The navigation setup is upgraded too — a new Garmin GNX suite with a 9” plotter.

She comes with a good sail inventory (including a gennaker and two genoas, one with UV protection), solar panels (one pivoting), bow and stern electric windlasses, Eberspächer heater, 25 L boiler, marine toilet, and a swim platform with ladder.

There’s even a TV on board. Ready to sail off straight away.

The boat is well-maintained, the hull is in excellent condition, and the rig is solid.
