Friends, today we have a Vindo 40 with a new Lombardini engine for 18 300 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.43 meters
Beam: 2.95 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A great example of a beautiful and well-maintained classic. The boat was built at one of the most famous shipyards in the region of Orust, where such boats as Hallberg-Rassy, Najad, Malo, Sweden Yachts, etc. were designed.

A sturdy fiberglass hull and a solid mahogany deck. The teak was installed in 2007 at the shipyard, without drilling through the deck.

The interior is in good condition. Diesel heating throughout the boat.

Sails: genoa with a Furlex furling and a mainsail with a cover. The condition of the sails is difficult to see from the photo. Perhaps they can be replaced in a couple of seasons.

In 2008, the boat received a new Lombardini 30 hp engine, which has since run only 600 hours.

The boat also has a chartplotter, wind instruments and an echo sounder.

Kitchen (galley): yes

The boat was built in 2005 by an experienced shipbuilder who owned it until 2019.

The only boat with well-thought-out solutions.

There are some cosmetic flaws and small leaks on deck. Otherwise, the hull is solid and dry below the waterline.

There are many smart solutions in the cockpit for operating a boat alone with good access to winches and navigation equipment. The steering wheel was replaced with the tiller for better handling. A new autopilot with the drive at rudder stock was also installed.

Large sailing inventory: 5 staysails, 2 mainsails and a spinnaker.

The interior is in average condition, there are traces of leaks. It’s necessary to check these places carefully, preferably with good water pressure (for example, using a Karcher) and update the sealant, if necessary.

There is a wood-burning stove. There is a new compressor refrigerator in the galley.

The engine model is not mentioned in the ad, but the owner says it’s fully serviced.

Cool and very well maintained Hallberg-Rassy with lots of updates.
