Beam: 3.00 meters
Keel: Full/Long
Displacement: 4,600 kg
Engine: Volvo Penta, inboard, diesel
Cabins: 2
Sleeps: 6
Rig: Masthead sloop

Vindø yachts have a special place in my heart. O know that many of you share this appreciation for their cozy design 🙂

This Vindø 40 has a classic long keel and a strong hull. The boat handles predictably in coastal waters and is comfortable for longer passages. The interior stands out for its 1.8 m headroom, making time below deck more pleasant.

The engine was fully rebuilt by professionals in 2025, including a new gearbox. This gives confidence for many more seasons on the water. The windows were removed, the coachroof sanded and varnished, and then windows resealed with modern adhesive.

The owner is transparent about two cosmetic jobs: the cockpit bench needs replacement, and the canopy mount on the roof should be fixed. Both are cosmetic and do not affect function.

The sails are in good condition, and the boat is ready for immediate use. The hull has fresh antifouling as of May 2025.

Friends! Today we have an Arcona 32 for 25 344 euro.

Location: Torød, Norway

Length: 9.60 meters
Draft: 1.70 meters
Beam: 3.25 meters
Keel: fin
Displacement: 4,400 kg
Engine: Volvo Penta D1-20, inboard
Cabins: 2
Sleeps: 5
Rig: fractional sloop
Shower: yes

The Arcona 32 is a practical family cruiser that also suits active sailors. The layout works well for weekends with family or longer coastal passages.

The boat has fractional sloop rig, the headsail is attached below the top of the mast, so the mainsail provides most of the power. This design makes the boat easier to handle, better balanced, and more convenient for short-handed sailing.

This model combines stability and moderate displacement. The ballast and hull shape mean less heel and comfortable motion in a crosswind. The boat moves smoothly in waves without harsh impacts.

Production started in the early 1980s and continued for years. The design has stood the test of time and is trusted by many owners.

Handling is predictable even for a small crew. The self-tacking jib makes maneuvers easy. The cockpit and deck layout support both relaxed cruising and more demanding sailing.

The boat has been kept in good condition and features many upgrades. Reinforced chainplates and newer sails add reliability for future voyages.

⛵ Sails: mainsail (triradial, loose-footed), furling genoa, triradial jib, triradial spinnaker

Friends! Today we have a 1931 Bonin SLOOP for 149 000 euros.

Location: Marseille, France

Length: 17.8 meters
Draft: 2.00 meters
Beam: 3.58 meters
Displacement: 22,000 kg (48,502 lb)
Engine: Perkins IB, 70 hp
Cabins: 1
Hull: wood
Rig: sloop (initially yawl)

This is a yacht with a rich story behind every line. Built in 1931 for Baron de Turckheim and named after his mother, ELLEN was designed by Talma Bertrand, a renowned architect of international-gauge boats. She was first rigged as a yawl, then converted to a Marconi sloop in 1958.

After crossing the Atlantic, ELLEN arrived in the Mediterranean during the 1960s and has been based in Marseille ever since. The same family has cared for her since 1975.

ELLEN is registered as a Heritage Interest Boat and has taken part in the main Mediterranean classic regattas for more than forty years. This is a boat for those who take yacht racing seriously.

The interior is simple and practical; it does not aim for comfort but instead supports the demands of competition and offshore sailing. Every detail is about function and readiness for racing conditions.

This is not a yacht for those seeking a cozy retreat. It is for sailors who appreciate history and a purposeful, sporting design. ELLEN is a living piece of regatta culture, with a layout and deck built for teamwork and performance.
