Friends! Today we have a fiberglass replica of the legendary Colin Archer RS1, complete with beautiful wooden gaff rig — for 26 390 euros!

📍 Location: Sweden

A perfect choice for classic boat lovers who don’t want the hassle of maintaining a wooden hull.

This boat is remarkably seaworthy and stable for her size. Maneuvering in marinas is easy thanks to a powerful engine and a bow thruster — she can literally turn on a dime.

In recent years, the rig, stanchions, and wooden details have been thoroughly refurbished. The hull is dry and watertight.

The sails are in good condition and were recently serviced at Lundh (Gothenburg):

Friends! Today we have a beautiful and seaworthy Swedish yacht — the Scanner 38 — with an excellent reputation, offered for 58 100 euros!

📍 Location: Sweden

Key specs:
Length: 38.5 ft
Beam: 11.8 ft
Draft: 5.1 ft (wing keel)
Displacement: 12,800 lbs
Ballast: 4,850 lbs
Engine: Volvo Penta 2003
Fuel tank: 14.5 gallons
Rig: 7/8 fractional with double spreaders

The Scanner 38 was launched in 1988 and quickly gained popularity for her graceful lines and great sailing performance.

This is hull #35, designed by Nils-Eric Olofsson and built by Scanyacht AB.

With a shallow draft of just 1.55 meters (5.1 ft), this yacht is perfect for exploring the most scenic anchorages and natural harbors along the coast.

Interior layout and livability:

The saloon is spacious, with sofas on both sides and a central table. The galley is L-shaped and located to port at the base of the companionway. Opposite it, to starboard, is the navigation station. The wide sole area gives the whole cabin a bright and roomy feel.

Forward, you’ll find a large double V-berth with generous storage. Aft is the classic owner’s cabin with its own entrance to port and direct access to the head on starboard. There are also large storage lockers on both sides of the aft cabin.

This is a yacht with plenty of sea miles behind her, but she’s still full of life — a smart choice for anyone looking for comfort and quality in an up to 12 meters hull.
