Albin Vega 27 with a 7hp outboard Suzuki motor for only 750 €.

Friends! Today we have Albin Vega 27 with a 7hp outboard Suzuki motor for only 750 €.

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.25 meters
Width: 2.46 meters
Draft: 1.17 meters
Beds: 4
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available
Ceiling height: 1.75 meters

This sailboat is a dark horse, but probably it conceals a unique offer. The description is short, literally a couple of sentences, and only 2 photos are attached.

An outboard 7.5hp Suzuki motor is included. An inboard Volvo Penta motor isn’t dismantled, the motor shaft and propeller are still there. Maybe you can repair it. Ask the owner.

If you dismantle it, you’ll have more space and carrying capacity will increase. You can also sell it for parts or for rebuilt and return part of the purchase costs.

There’s a mainsail, a jib with a furler and UV protection. The sails are in good condition, the furler is an obvious advantage: it is comfortable and it says that the sails are not original (it is quite common for sailboats up to 1000 €).

The interior is quite standard: closed cockpit, a lot of lockers, a V-shaped bed in a forward cabin, you can make a double bed from it. There are 2 single beds in the saloon and a galley, the toilet is relatively separate. The ceiling height is 1.75 m and the beds’ length is 1.85 m.

The description of the equipment looks incomplete, you should specify it with the owner. A spay hood, batteries and a solar panel, mooring equipment are mentioned.

The underwater part requires updating the antifouling, it’s inexpensive. You can even do it yourself (it will take 2 days).

This model is considered to be a great one and suitable for beginners. At the same time, it’s a legendary model, it was used for world cruises and travels to Antarctica multiple times.

It’s reliable and strong, and it costs almost as a used outboard motor.

Trident 80 with a fresh 15hp NANNI engine for 9500 euro!

Friends, today we have a Trident 80 with a fresh 15hp NANNI engine for 9500 euro!

Location: France

Length: 8 meters
Width: 2.92 meters
Precipitation: 1.6 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The yacht is in very good condition both externally and technically. A big plus is that it’s already in the Mediterranean with a pre-paid docking place.

The galley has a large sink with fresh water under pressure and a 120-liter tank, a gas stove with four hotplates and a microwave.

Genoa with the furler and the mainsail are in good condition. There is a bimini in the cockpit, which is quite rare for boats with a length of 8 meters. There is a swim ladder at the stern.

In 2020, the underwater part was cleaned. Navigation lights have been replaced with LED lights, which has a positive effect on electricity consumption. Two new batteries (starting and service) with a 3-year warranty and two generators that allow you to quickly replenish their stock.

The NANNI 2.60H 15 hp engine was completely rebuilt in 2021 and has an operating time of only 1140 engine hours.

The boat also has all the necessary equipment: a VHF radio station, a new echo sounder 2021, an autopilot 2020, a new anchor of 10 kg, 25 meters of anchor chain and much more.

I guess that this is a very profitable offer, which is called “turnkey”, because of the location, a large amount of updates and the condition of the boat in general.

Toilet: available

The Custom Baltic Navigator is a sturdy 8.3 m long steel vessel with an excellent hull and a well-maintained interior.

The boat has a 10hp SAAB outboard engine, which in most cases is quite enough for such a length.

The staysail has a furler. The set includes at least a mainsail and a staysail, the availability of other sails should be checked. The sails are in excellent condition and both have UV protection covers.

The boat is well-equipped. There’s a Raymarine GPS navigator, VHF radio station, log and echo sounder, battery chargers, Waeco refrigerator, Wallas Marin heater. The owner has invested in the equipment, which will be a plus for both ownership and subsequent sale.

New cushions for sitting, updated cushions and mattresses in the interior, two new detachable tables for the mess room and cockpit, spray hood, pumping latrine, 100 l water tank, 60 l fuel tank.

The main plus of this boat is that the owner handled the boat with care. The hull and the interior are in excellent, tidy condition. The wood is as good as new. The covers are on the sails, the photo shows the respect for every little thing. The boat, with this attitude, is most likely really in excellent condition. In addition, the owner sells it because of emigration to another country. The price is 6900 euro and most likely it can be reduced even more due to the need to sell it quickly.

Marieholm IF for only 900 euros! Or for 1500 euros together with a 6hp Tohatsu engine.

Friends, today we have Marieholm IF for only 900 euros! Or for 1500 euros together with a 6hp Tohatsu engine.

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.87 meters
Width: 2.19 meters
Draft: 1.21 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

As it indicated in the ad, the boat is for sale at a good discount. The previous owner bought it for 3,300 euros, but he is ready to sell it for 900 euros without an engine, or for 1,500 euros with a 6hp Tohatsu engine in good condition.

There’s a full set of sails: a mainsail with the cover, a gennaker, a genoa with a furler.

The furling genoa has some kind of problem, something has burst and it needs to be repaired. The owner doesn’t want to bother with it, the Swedes don’t like boats with problems, that’s why the owner gives such a big discount.

The boat has everything you need: a spinnaker boom, a tent on the cockpit, a sprayhood, cushions, kitchenware, anchors, oars, fenders, moorings, etc.

Despite the small size of this model, the previous owner used it for long-distance sailing for several weeks. But last season, due to lack of time, the boat went out only once.

The ad says that it is necessary to fix the wiring and replace some light bulbs. These are small things and it’s not expensive for a boat of this size.

Compis 28 with a Farymann A40 engine (overhauled in 2012) for only 3800 euro!

Friends! Today we have an interesting Compis 28 with a Farymann A40 engine (overhauled in 2012) for only 3800 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.56 meters
Width: 2.84 meters
Draft 1.51 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The boat is in very good condition. It was well watched, but trouble happened and the valve burned out in the engine. There’s no compression and now the boat is sold for half of its price.

If you are good with engines or have a friend who can help, then this can be a very good option.

The plastic and wood look great on this boat, lots of sails, equipment and upgrades.

Another drawback in my opinion is the classic staysail setting. It’s more convenient with a furler.

The boat is quite large and wide, and it feels like closer to 30 feet. This is a good opportunity if you can deal with the engine as the price is now only 3800 euro!
