Albin Delta 31 with a fresh Lombardini engine for 18 400 euros!

Friends, today we have an Albin Delta 31 with a fresh Lombardini engine for 18 400 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.35 meters
Beam: 3.04 meters
Draft: 1.80 meters
Sleeps: 7
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

A nice and very well-maintained Swedish-made boat.

The interior and cushions look like new. There is a galley along the port side with everything you need, including a stove with an oven on a gimbal.

A dedicated toilet with a septic tank. There is a diesel heater on the boat.

The sails look good. There is a mainsail with a cover, a staysail on a furler and some additional sails. There is a self-tacking staysail on the boat, it’s very convenient – you don’t need to pull the sheet when changing tack, and the sail itself moves from side to side. All ropes are brought into the cockpit, so you can control the sails even alone.

A fresh 2006 Lombardini engine has been installed. This is a good and reliable engine and it’s easy enough to find spare parts for maintenance.

There is an anchor box on the bow, but no winch. There is also an anchor at the stern with a chain and an anchor line.

A spray hood and a cockpit tent are sewn.

There is little information about the equipment in the ad. The owner says there is a lot of various stuff on the boat and he is ready to tell you personally. The photo shows the Garmin chartplotter and the presence of an echo sounder. There is also a solar panel.

Friends, today we have a Compis 28 with a teak deck and an inboard Yanmar engine for only 4300 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.56 meters
Beam: 2.84 meters
Draft: 1.51 meters
Sleeps: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

Nice boat in good condition. The boat was built at the shipyard, which made the famous and high-quality Scanmar boats.

Genoa on a furing and a mainsail with a cover. The sails are in good condition. All the ropes are out in the cockpit.

There is also a chartplotter, autopilot and VHF on the boat. This is a very good addition. The cost of all the devices almost pays off the cost of the yacht itself.

Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus Ketch with an updated Yanmar engine and new sails for 30 700 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 10.55 meters
Beam: 3.05 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

A very beautiful boat that is being sold by a guy who has a blog on YouTube. To be honest, I haven’t watched his videos, but there is a link to his channel in the ad.

However, I see that the boat is very well-maintained and updated.

Firstly, it immediately strikes that the interior has been redesigned. The owner managed to avoid the “IKEA” effect. The boat turned out to be very cozy.

A brand new galley with new stove, plumbing and a roomy refrigerator. All hatches and portholes have been replaced. New seacocks.

There is a separate aft cabin. Fully dedicated toilet with electric flush, septic tank and new plumbing.

The sails are brand new: a staysail with UV protection, a mainsail and a mizzen. There are covers for the last two.

The Yanmar 55 hp 2000 engine was overhauled in 2023, and runs like clockwork.

There is also a wind autopilot (this is a fairly expensive device ~ 5K euros), a chartplotter, solar panels, an anemometer, compass, a new life raft, life jackets and much more.

Hanse 388 with a Yanmar engine for 195 000 euros!

Friends, today we have a Hanse 388 with a Yanmar engine for 195 000 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 11.41 meters
Beam: 3.90 meters
Draft: 2.06 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Usually I don’t do reviews on such boats, but I decided to make an exception. This is 2019 yacht, and it has been in the hands of one family. It can be seen that the boat has never been chartered and its condition is close to ideal.

An important thing is that the boats of 2019 are often found in a new condition. They had been bought, but when the pandemic began, sailing ended almost all over the world, and the owners lost interest over time due to they can’t sail, but have to pay the mooring fee.

There is also exactly the same Hanse in our marina, and the owner is very happy with the boat, travels a lot and participates in competitions.

This boat has an extended package of additional options. Improved oak interior finish. Lithium batteries with smart charging. Bow thruster with a separate battery.

Yanmar 3JH5E engine with a power of 39 hp is installed.

The deck made of natural teak looks very beautiful.

Two steering wheels. A good chartplotter in the cockpit with all the necessary instruments.

Many complain about the quality of Hanse fittings (for example, door locks quickly fail, etc.). Judging by the ad, the owner has eliminated these disadvantages.

A complete set of new sails, including even Code0. There is a lazy bag. The self-tacking staysail is on the furling.

A new cockpit tent has been sewn, in which you can stand up to your full height.
