Contrast 362 with a lot of new equipment for 24 400 euros!

Friends, today we have Contrast 362 with a lot of new equipment for 24 400 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 11.00 meters
Beam: 3.80 meters
Draft: 1.87 meters
Sleeping places: 7
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Excellent sailboat made in Sweden. The price looks very attractive for a 37-foot boat.

For the last 6 years, the boat was owned by one family, and the boat was used only on weekends.

Two spacious double cabins and a table in the saloon, which can be laid out in 3 beds.

There is a diesel heater and hot water tank. A new water pump that provides good pressure has been installed.

The sails look good. There is a mainsail with a lazy bag and a staysail on a furling. There is also a genoa for a furling forestay.

The sprayhood was sewn in 2018. The teak in the cockpit requires maintenance. It needs to be sanded and treated with oil. The area is small, so you can do the work yourself.

The Yanmar 3GM30F engine is always serviced on time and works well. The last maintenance of the engine, cooling system and sale drive was done in 2024.

Recently, the boat received a lot of useful equipment (the total cost is about 6,000 euros). Raymarine wireless instruments, Garmin chartplotter with maps, autopilot, and more.

Hallberg-Rassy 312 for 42 200 euro!

Friends, today we have a stunning Hallberg-Rassy 312 for 42 200 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.42 meters
Beam: 3.08 meters
Draft: 1.62 meters
Sleeping places: 7
Toilet: Yes
Kitchen: Yes

This sailing boat from the famous Swedishis shipyard is very well-kept and has many upgrades. Yachts in such condition are quite rare.

For a 31-foot boat, it is quite wide, the beam is 3.08 meters. This provides significantly more comfort compared to other boats of similar size. It also has fairly large-capacity tanks for diesel (110 liters) and fresh water (120 liters).

In 2010, the engine was upgraded, the Volvo Penta D1-30F with a new sail drive was installed. For now, the engine has the overall running time of approximately 2100 engine hours.

All the teak in the cockpit has been replaced — this is a very expensive upgrade. The deck teak has been maintained.

The rigging has been upgraded: a full mainsail from Elvstrøm, a new jib from Aker Sails on a furler, and a spinnaker in good condition, used rarely. From the photos, it looks like there is also a spinnaker pole. There is an original cover for the mainsail.

An electric toilet has been installed in the head. The stove in the galley has been updated. Unfortunately, there are no interior photos in the original ad, but judging by the exterior, it is most likely in quite good condition.

The yacht has various Silva instruments, log and depth sounder are not in working condition. Replacement may be required, but maybe it’s just because of the sensors fouled, I think it’s worth checking first. There is also a compass.

The boat is still under 10 meters, and the expenses for her maintenance and docking will be quite reasonable.

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.80 meters
Beam: 2.60 meters
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A very well-looked-after boat with everything you need to sail.

The boat has been owned by one family for the last 20 years. The interior is clean and tidy. The cushions look good.

There is a galley with a gas stove and a sink with fresh and seawater. The water supply is 76 liters, which is quite good for a small boat.

The diesel heater panel is visible in the photo. Even if it doesn’t work, the fact that it has already been installed is half the work. You can always simply replace the module itself, which is not so expensive.

Good sailing inventory: mainsail, genoa, staysail and spinnaker with boom. The sails look like new in the photo.

The boat has an original Volvo Penta MD5A inboard engine. This is a fairly reliable unit if it is properly maintained.

The sprayhood has been sewn. There is a swimming ladder at the stern.

There is no information about the devices. The photo shows a display in the cockpit, perhaps there is an echo sounder. There is also a new Silva compass and VHF.

You can pick up shore storage cradles with the boat. People usually don’t think about their availability until it’s time to lift the boat.

Kitchen (galley): yes

A very good and durable boat made in Sweden. Many consider the boats of this shipyard to be an alternative to the Hallberg-Rassy or Najad boats. I think this is true: the thick plastic hull, reliable long keel, central cockpit, furniture and fittings are made of high-quality materials.

Aft cabin with a separate entrance through the cockpit.

The deck and cockpit are covered with teak. It looks like the wood is in good condition and properly glued with a minimum of deck drilling.

A complete set of sails. There is a furling.

The Volvo Penta MD2040 engine looks clean and well-maintained. The running time of the engine is about 2000 hours. The fuel reserve is 155 liters.

There are shore power, battery charger and wind generator.

There is also a lot of navigation equipment: chartplotter, autopilot, VHF, echo sounder, wind force and direction meter and more.
