Karlskrona Viggen for only 180 euros!

Friends, today we have Karlskrona Viggen for only 180 euros. And it’s not a joke!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.01 meters
Beam: 2.24 meters
Draft: 1.06 meters
Sleeps: 4
Toilet (head): no
Kitchen (galley): yes

A small but reliable and well-maintained boat, which has been owned by one family since 2008.

Such a boat can be an excellent opportunity to take the first steps in sailing, and taking into account the very low price, it can also be at minimal cost.

There is a fresh staysail and a new genoa. The mainsail needs to be repaired, and then it can be used. Now the owner uses genoa instead of the mainsail. We can see it in the photo. Every winter, the sails and all textiles were stored in a heated room.

The price includes a Johnson 6 hp outboard motor, which runs like clockwork and starts with the first jerk. The cost of the motor is several times higher than the boat itself. The engine is fully serviced. A new fuel pump was installed last year.

There is a new battery. It’s good.

It’s not visible in the photo, but these boats have a galley.
The cushions in the cabin are new. There are also cockpit cushions. By the way, the cockpit is spacious enough for a 7-meter boat, due to the lack of a berth in the stern.

There doesn’t seem to be a toilet on the boat, but you can install a bio-toilet — it’s inexpensive.

There is no info about the equipment. The photo shows a mechanical windex. You can use a tablet or a phone with Navionics maps to navigate.

Fenders, mooring lines, and a variety of ropes of different lengths are also available on the boat.

It’s a pretty rare boat. Swedish production with high-quality standards.

A Volvo Penta engine is installed on the boat. There is no information about the engine and model in the ad, but by default it’s most likely MD2002.

The teak deck requires maintenance in places. The teak in the cockpit looks good.

There is a spray hood. The steering wheel is covered with leather.

Lots of electronics: a good chartplotter, autopilot, echo sounder, wind instruments, VHF and more.

C&C 34 with a Volvo Penta engine for 24 200 euros!

Friends, today we have a boat from a famous Canadian shipyard — C&C 34 with a Volvo Penta engine for 24 200 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 10.21 meters
Beam: 3.35 meters
Draft: 1.80 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

The famous Canadian C&C boats are widely known all over the world, but they are very rare in the Scandinavian market.

The boat is in excellent technical and cosmetic condition. The original teak interior is free of scratches and traces of moisture. New cushions have been sewn.

For the last 20 years, the boat has been used only in freshwater. And every winter it was stored in a warm room. In October, a new antifouling was applied and the anodes were replaced.

The owner is an experienced sailor and engineer, so the boat has many good solutions.

The new Victron intelligent electrical system with Bluetooth.

New heater.

A large set of sails, but all the sails have been in use for quite a long time, and it might be worth replacing them. Most likely, for this reason, the boat is being sold at a lower price than the market.

Sails: a mainsail with a lazy bag, a self-tacking staysail, several genoas of different sizes, a spinnaker and a storm jib.

The Volvo Penta MD2030 engine was installed in 2000 and runs like clockwork.

The equipment has also been partially updated: a new Raymarine chartplotter with echo sounder and autopilot with drive to the baller.

Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy Monsun with an updated engine and a bow-thruster for 19 800 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.37 meters
Beam: 2.87 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

The legendary boat of the famous shipyard. A great opportunity to start your journey from the Norwegian fjords.

Since 1988, the boat has had one owner, and since then she has been regularly serviced and upgraded. There is complete documentation for the boat, the engine and all the work done.

The teak interior looks very good. The cushions were re-sewn. The galley has a stove and Isotherm refrigerator with a new compressor.

The sails are not new, but in good working condition. There is a furling, UV protection and a cover for the mainsail. The photo shows a spinnaker boom, perhaps there is a spinnaker itself.

The Volvo Penta D1-30 engine, installed in 2007, runs like clockwork and has never failed. A new transmission and propeller are installed.

There is a bow-thruster.

Two house batteries, one starter battery and a separate battery for the bow-thruster.

There is a sprayhood and a cockpit tent. Anchor winch with a chain of 40 meters on the bow. It seems to me that 40 meters is not enough. I would add at least another 20 meters.

The price includes a Zodiac dinghy with oars.

The boat also has an autopilot, a VHF, an echo sounder, an anemometer, and more.

A nice and well-maintained boat that had only three owners.

A model with a spacious saloon and a wide cockpit. It seems that the boat is much larger than its size.

The boat is currently on shore for minor repairs to the underwater part after running aground. The repair will be handled by professionals, and the price is already inclusive of all work.

The interior is in good condition. The interior is clean and cozy, due to the warm shade of the wood and decor elements.

The offer looks very attractive. The boat is in excellent technical condition and very well-equipped.

It wasn’t used often — mainly for traveling through the Norwegian fjords and along the Swedish coast.

Over the 7 years of ownership, the boat has been well upgraded: a new bow thruster has been installed with control near the helm and a wireless remote control.

The hull and keel have been repaired. It’s necessary to specify what works were performed.

All the electrics and wiring have been updated. LEDs are installed in the lamps.

The boat looks good inside. New cushions have been sewn. There is hot and cold water. There is also hot water in the shower at the stern.

The new sails were purchased in 2023. A new lazy bag was also sewn. Old sails and a spinnaker are also included.

The Yanmar 27 hp engine is regularly serviced and runs like clockwork. A new transmission is installed.

A big plus is the presence of a good dinghy (inflatable boat) with a new electric motor.

The boat also has radar, echo sounder, chartplotter, VHF, autopilot and more.

I already posted this boat before. And now the price has dropped for our community.

A boat with a big story. Two years ago one of my followers contacted me and asked for the seller’s contact information for this boat. He bought this boat and sailed it from Norway to Greece.

After two years of ownership and an unforgettable trip, the owner sells the boat at a good price.

The teak interior is in excellent condition.

Sails are also like new: an in-mast mainsail and a staysail (2019) on a furler.

The boat has a fresh Volvo Penta D1-30 engine (2017) with a new sail drive. This upgrade cost 10K.

New electrics. New batteries and solar panels. There is an inverter and a shore power cord. There is also a new 3000 watt inverter.

A lot of useful equipment on the boat: chartplotter (not installed, but available), echo sounder, anemometer, compass, VHF, handheld VHF and more. Something goes wrong with autopilot, and it’s not available for now.

Najad 34 for 40 500 euros!

Friends, today we have a boat with many upgrades — Najad 34 for 40 500 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 10.40 m
Beam: 3.10 m
Draft: 1.60 m
Berths: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Galley: yes

This is a true classic of Northern sailing — reliable, with a good reputation and excellent seaworthiness.

The current owners have purchased this boat twice. They first sold it but missed it so much that they bought it back. The current owners also knew the first owner — the boat has always been in caring hands, with regular upgrades and investments.

Over the past 2 years, around 25,000 euros has been invested in the boat. However, due to the purchase of a new boat, they are willing to consider a quick and fair offer — to find a caring new owner for Balto before spring preparations.

The yacht is equipped with a new engine — Volvo Penta D2-40, 40 hp.

The yacht also features a bow thruster, making it more maneuverable and easing docking.

Good sail rigging: furling genoa, new mainsail with lazy jack and lazy bag.

Central cockpit, teak decking. According to the owner, the teak was updated around 2010. New sprayhood.

Classic original interior, in very good condition. The salon looks well-maintained and cozy. The yacht is equipped with a Webasto diesel heater with outlets in all cabins, adding comfort during the colder months.

The galley includes a gas stove with an oven and a fridge. A new boiler has been installed, with hot water in both the galley and head.

The head is separated and located between the salon and the forward cabin. The toilet and hoses have been updated.

A lot of new equipment: depth sounder, chartplotter, log, anemometer. There is a portable VHF radio.

The boat also comes with an anchor winch, but it is not installed or tested.

Albin Accent sailboat for 3160 EUR!

Friends, today we’re reviewing an Albin Accent sailboat for 3160 EUR!

📍Location: Sweden, Haninge

Length: 8 meters
Beam: 2.8 meters
Draft: 1.54 meters
Berths: 4–5 (depending on height)
Toilet: yes
Galley: yes

The price is slightly above average for Swedish listings, but that’s due to the many upgrades and the overall great condition of the boat.

One family has owned it for the past 8 years. Based on the announcement, they’ve had many adventures and explored the Baltic Sea thoroughly 🙂 Now their family is growing, so they need a bigger boat.

You can clearly see the boat was well-loved and had money invested into upgrades — probably worth more than the boat herself.

The mainsail (dacron) was purchased in 2019. It has lazy bag and lazy jacks (not mentioned in the ad but visible in the photos), a Genoa 1 on a Furlex, a symmetrical spinnaker in good condition.

The sprayhood was updated in 2024.

Other great features:
Simrad TP10 autopilot (2023), depth sounder, compass, GPS plotter with Stockholm archipelago charts, 2 x 25W solar panels (2023), 10A MPPT solar regulator (2020), charging station with USB and cigarette lighter socket, 2 x Bruce anchors, etc.

In the galley, there’s a fresh energy-efficient compressor fridge (2022) and a gas stove. Electric sea and freshwater pumps.

Toilet has a holding tank and deck pump-out fitting.

The boat comes with 4 struts and a winter storage tent.

I’d say this boat is fully loaded. Not many owners are willing to invest so much in a budget-friendly sailboat.

I’d probably refresh the cushions and do some light woodwork inside to make it look newer. Other than that, this is a dream — especially for one just starting sailing.

Friends, today we have a classic 10-meter yacht from a follower — KR 6.5 for 19 500 euros!

Location: Germany

Length: 10.00 meters
Beam: 2.75 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

My follower sells his boat. It looks like the hull is made of fiberglass, and the deck is made of thick solid mahogany.

This design is much easier to maintain than a solid wooden boat, but she still has its own classic charm.

Due to the long keel, the boat is very reliable and stable on the course.

A powerful Yanmar engine is installed.

A complete set of good sails. There is a furling headsail and UV protection on both sails.

The boat is in almost perfect condition inside. There is a galley with a stove and sink. A dedicated toilet.

There is a fairly powerful anchor winch on the bow.

The teak deck looks great. It’s clear that the boat was in the loving hands of an experienced sailor.

Despite the classic design, the boat has useful modern equipment: autopilot, lag, echo sounder.
