Location: Sweden

Length: 9.75 meters

I couldn’t get past that boat. This model is confidently included in my personal top boats up to 10 meters. My friend Alex had such a boat, and we used it to record some of the videos for the «Captain of Your Own Sailboat» video course.

These boats are quite rare in ads because people are not in a hurry to sell them. It’s a relatively durable and safe boat of incredible quality.

The new Volvo Penta D1-30 engine is installed on this boat. This is a very good and reliable engine.

The sails look good.

There is hot water in the galley and a new Isotherm refrigerator.

Fully dedicated electric toilet.

New solar panels with new battery charging. The condition of the batteries themselves is unknown, but I think that if there are so many consumers, then the batteries should work well.

All electrical wiring is new. It’s important.

There is a shower in the cockpit and a bathing platform.

There is also some equipment on the boat: Garmin chartplotter, VHF, Raymarine autopilot, heater and more.

Draft: 1.80 meters
Berths: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

This sailing yacht underwent a full refit in 2023–2024 and is well-suited for both long-distance passages and short coastal cruises.

Over the past year, it was also partially used as temporary housing. It’s being sold simply because the family now owns two boats.

The hull was completely sanded and repainted, with new antifouling below the waterline. The deck was also refurbished, with EVA synthetic teak laid in the cockpit.

This type of decking is much more practical and easier to maintain than natural teak.

The sails appear to be in like-new condition. The winches and most of the deck hardware have been replaced. All halyards and sheets are new. The standing rigging was inspected in autumn 2023.

The interior has also been fully refreshed: the bulkheads have been painted and varnished, all hatches and windows replaced, new floorboards installed, new cushions and mattresses added (except for the aft cabin, which was used for storage).

New toilet with completely renewed plumbing. Freshwater tank has been removed and cleaned. New automatic pump, faucets, freshwater pump, and hoses installed.

The electrical system has been completely replaced: new wiring, batteries, lighting, shore power system, and charger.

The boat is equipped with a Sole Mini engine (26 HP). New starter, filters, and injectors.

Also on board: B&G chartplotter, VHF radio, dehumidifier, gas stove, fire extinguisher, and about 30 meters of shore power cable. Some tools and spare parts are included as well.

Swedish cruiser with a new engine and a lot of upgrades for 11 900 euros!

Friends, today we have a rare Swedish cruiser with a new engine and a lot of upgrades for 11 900 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 10.97 meters
Beam: ?
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

I haven’t found any information about the model, but the boat looks attractive. Good price for 36 ft.

This is very similar to the skerry cruisers that used to be popular in Sweden.

Beautiful and well-maintained interior. There are all modern features: heating, hot water, LED lighting.

The galley has a stove, sink and refrigerator with a freezer.

Shipman 28 with a fresh Ferryman Diesel engine for 4400 euros!

Friends, today we have a well-maintained Shipman 28 with a fresh Ferryman Diesel engine for 4400 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.86 meters
Beam: 2.60 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Nice and very well-maintained Shipman. Many people like this model for its layout.

The interior is in very good condition. New cushions. The saloon is clean and cozy.

There is a galley with a stove, sink and refrigerator.

The Shipman 28 has a fin keel, but it’s molded with the hull and has no bolts, which means there is nothing to rot. The rudder is protected with a skeg.

The old engine was replaced with a newer Ferryman Diesel with 12 hp with a reliable straight shaft.

I see in the photo a transom for mounting an outboard motor. It worries me. Usually, if you hang a transom «just in case», then most likely this case has already happened. It may have been installed before the purchase of a new engine. You have to be careful.

There is a mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furling. New Lewmar winches have been installed.

It’s said that the deck is covered with teak, but this is not visible in the photo. There is an anchor at the stern.

The photo shows that there is a spray hood, but the owner says it needs to be repaired (something with a zipper).

There is no information about the equipment, but there may be some minimal set, for example, VHF or log. I’ve already seen this before, I came to see an «empty» boat, but in fact it turned out that everything was there, and even an autopilot.
