Jaguar 27 with an inboard motor Perkins 30 h.p. for 8 500 euro!

Hey guys! Meet Jaguar 27 with an inboard motor Perkins 30 h.p. for 8 500 euro!

Location: Tunisia, Monastir

Hull length: 8.18 meters
Width: 2.69 meters
Draft: 1.32 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

The boat is moored in the same marina as mine 🙂

Motor Perkins 30 h.p. is installed, for this size of boat it is a big reserve power. An outboard motor Suzuki 2.5 h.p. for dinghy is also included.

Sails are in good condition, there is a jib furler but no UV protection, it certainly needs to be done.

There’s quite a lot of equipment, this sailboat had the only owner throughout a long time. There is a radio locator (!), solar panels, navigator, microwave oven, life-saving gear, mooring ropes and so on.

The full list of equipment is better to specify with the seller.

The owner sells this sailboat due to the health condition. The contract with marina is already paid (740 euro per year only!)

This is quite a rare find — a good sailboat in the Mediterranean at a cheap price.
Apparently the pandemic and personal reasons came into play.

At the moment Tunisia is open to the public so you can come there and buy it 🙂

Snapdragon 27 with an inboard petrol motor Albin Q21 for 1 950 euro only!

Hi everyone! Meet Snapdragon 27 with an inboard petrol motor Albin Q21 for 1 950 euro only!

Location: Sweden

Hull length: 8,28 meters
Width: 2,59 meters
Cabin height: 1.83 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Just look at this interesting option!

An old petrol engine Albin Q21 is installed. You need to be careful for purposes of fire safety.

The sails are in good condition, genoa with the furler, there is also a separate stay for the jib (very sustainable solution, if the genoa furler breaks, you can use an old-school jib. All the rest of the time you can use all the advantages of the furler!).

There is a small nose platform for coming ashore, it is also cool for sitting underway, you’ll have a feeling you are flying like a bird.

I would like to pay individual attention to the cabin height, it is 1.83 meters! The very centimeters which the boats like that usually lack. Most people can stand at full length inside this cabin. Very cool advantage 🙂

An excellent planning, comfortable table, separate toilet, you can make 2 double beds, moreover, there’s a separate sleeping place in the stern.

The galley is big, the girls may like it.

A small sailboat with rather comfortable inner areas. The mooring fee will be cheap, besides, the sailboat itself costs 1950 euro only!

Shipman 28 with an inboard motor Yanmar 8 h.p. for 4 800 euro only!

Hey guys! Meet Shipman 28 with an inboard motor Yanmar 8 h.p. for 4 800 euro only!

Location: Sweden

Hull length: 8,86 meters
Width: 2,6 meters
Draft: 1,55 meters
Keel: fin
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Original old engine Yanmar 8 h.p. is installed so be ready to the ensuing consequences. Guess it is the only strong disadvantage in this sailboat. I think it was cared a lot and serviced but it is old engine anyway.

The sails are totally new (2020 year), the jib has a furler, autopilot is installed (2020), there are also a fridge, gas stove, water thermometer, echo sounder, speed meter (log-speedometer), new toilet (2020), new cushions and pillows, heater Wallas, folding propeller, 3 batteries (2 service batteries and 1 starter battery, all of them were installed in 2020), electric wiring was totally changed.

The seller can also offer portable solar panels from 2020 at extra charge.

The sailboat looks good, plastic and wood are in good condition.

The previous owner decided to update this sailboat that’s why most of the equipment is from 2020. Finally he decided to change this yacht to a bigger one (this sailboats seems small for all the family, 2 grown-ups and two kids).

This sailboat is now stored on land, you can leave it at the same place till the next season.

Albin Stratus (35 feet) with a relatively new Volvo Penta md2030 engine for 24 500 €.

Friends! Today we have an Albin Stratus (35 feet) with a relatively new Volvo Penta md2030 engine for 24 500 €.

Location: Norway

Length: 10.72 m

Width: 3.3 m

Draft: 1.8 m

Sleeping places: 7

Toilet: available

Galley (kitchen): available

You asked me to publish larger yachts with steering wheels, I am showing just such an option. There’re many sleeping places, the boat is large but it’s already much more expensive.

On the plus side, this boat has a separate stern cabin with three sleeping places. Probably it is convenient for couples with children, especially when there are two or even three of them (3 berths in the stern cabin).

The sails area is 65 m² (genoa is 37 m², mainsail is 28 m²) which is quite a lot. It’s much more difficult to clean and set them than, for example, on my Albin Vega (sails are 28 m²). You need 2 times more effort!

The yacht is 10.72 m long which means it’s in the category of 10-12 meters, this is a completely different mooring fee. For example, for the boat up to 8 meters the daily mooring fee can be 20 €, for 8-10 meters – 30 €, and for 10-12 meters – 40 €.

The same goes for maintenance. The difference between yachts of 8 and 11 meters will be about 2 times more expensive.

Now let’s talk about the yacht itself. There’s a Volvo Penta md2030 engine (29 h.p.), a folding propeller, fresh a genoa furler, but an old mainsail, lazy jack and lazy bag. Cockpit floors and seats are new and made from teak.

There’s an autopilot, an echo sounder, a chartplotter, a solar panel, anchors, electric toilet, mooring equipment, rescue equipment, etc.

In my opinion, it makes sense to buy such a yacht only if you are constantly traveling with 2-3 children, a 30-32 feet yacht will be enough for a couple without children or with 1 child.

The yacht costs 24 500 € and this is a normal price for it. You can buy 30-32 feet in a similar condition for about 10-12 thousand €, i.e. 2 times cheaper! You can find a 26-28 ft boat for about 8000 € which is 3 times cheaper!

With this post I wanted to show how the price of a yacht grows for every meter of length.

Scampi 30 with the renewed inboard motor Yanmar 2ym15 for 11 700 euro!

Hi friends! Meet super Scampi 30 with the renewed inboard motor Yanmar 2ym15 for 11 700 euro!

Location: Sweden

Hull length: 9.07 meters
Width: 3.04 meters
Draft: 1.65 meters
Keel: fin
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Fabulous sailboat, one of the best I’ve ever seen! Wood and plastic are in perfect condition!

The motor Yanmar 2ym15 which was installed in 2011. The motor looks well-conditioned, thermal protection doesn’t have defects, general impression is good 🙂

There’s a new jib sail with the furler (2019 year), all the rest of the sails set is in good condition, too.

Solar panels (2 pc. x 25 Watt) and solar panels controller are included. All the lights are LED, toilet and flexible tubes were replaced in 2015, the fridge was installed in 2013.

The baking oven is almost new, a swim platform, the net on the pulpit (very comfortable), anchor in tube, tiller extension, lanyard reel, basic life-saving equipment and a lot of other equipment.

Very cool sailboat in my opinion! It is spacious enough but the mooring fee will be inexpensive. Everything looks very fresh, just take a look at the wood inside and at the deck. And just watch at the tiller! Everything is fresh, pleasant and shiny.

In the Mediterranean Sea the sailboat like that, in the same condition and with the same equipment will cost from 25 000 euro!

Becker 27 with an outboard motor for 4000 euro!

Hey friends! Meet Becker 27 with an outboard motor for 4000 euro! (I think you can try to reduce the price to 3000 euro)

Location: Norway

Hull length: 8.12 meters.
Width: 2.64 meters.
Draft: 1.40 meters.
Sleeping places: 4
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

This sailboat has a small cosmetic defect on its bow (you can see it in the photo) but it is inexpensive to remove.

An outboard motor Suzuki has power 15 h.p. It looks good and has power reserve. The motor is 4-stroke, you can control the power from the cockpit like we usually do with the inboard engine (see the pics). Besides, this motor has an electric starter.

The owner didn’t say anything about the sails condition but there are the mainsail, genoa, storm mainsail and spinnaker. I would like to pay your attention to the fact there’s no jib furler cylinder on the photo which means the jib is classic. However, it can be controlled right from the cockpit.

Among the equipment are the autopilot, gas stove, sprayhood, solar panel, water tank (5 litres), electric pomp. What is more, the owner gives the crabbing tackles!

The photos show that the plastic and wood are in good condition. The sailboat looks cared. The cosmetic defect looks like it was a hit with a pier which is not critical. Sailboats like this are light, so hits like that are not dangerous for the hull. The repair in Tunisia will cost about 50 euro 🙂

The owner wrote that bargaining is welcome, so bargain! I guess you can easily lop 1000 euro off the price.

The yacht itself looks cool, lots of equipment and it was invested for sure 🙂

Marieholm 32E with an updated Volvo Penta MD2030 29 h.p. for only 13 000 euro!

oday we have a Marieholm 32E with an updated Volvo Penta MD2030 29 h.p. inboard engine for only 13 000 euro!

Location: Canary Islands

Hull length: 9.65 meters.
Width: 3.00 meters.
Draft: 1.62 meters.
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Great offer! Such a yacht in the Canary Islands with a huge amount of equipment for only 13 000 euro is just a gift.

There’s an updated 29 h.p. Volvo Penta MD2030 engine, 2300 motor hours which is about 2/3 or 3/4 of the remaining resource.

The yacht has a long keel. The main disadvantage of long-keeled yachts is poor maneuverability in the sternway but with this sailboat the problem is solved by the thruster. This is also a huge advantage!

The sails are in good condition. There’s a genoa furler of 2014, a new mainsail. The seller says the yacht is well equipped for offshore travels. He planned to cross the Atlantic but for personal reasons he didn’t.

It can also be seen from the photos that all the ropes go to the cockpit and the staysail has UV protection.

There’s a new anchor-winch, 200W solar panels, bow thruster, water heater, cockpit shower, bathing platform, 2 autopilots, 2 GPS navigators, charger for rechargeable batteries, 4-stroke outboard engine, inverter, liferaft (needs to be re-laid ), teak cockpit, diesel heater, mooring equipment, vests, basic rescue equipment, safety equipment, etc.

The photos also show an inflatable raft attached to the stern, and there is also a bimini (awning from the sun) which is awesome.

The mooring is paid for 3 months, then the mooring fee is 100 euro per month (according to the seller).

Such offers are very rare, of course everything needs to be checked and carefully inspected but this is probably a great opportunity to buy a good boat at a good price.

120 year old wooden sailboat with a new 50 h.p. Yanmar inboard engine for only 5 500 euro!

Today we have a 120 year old wooden sailboat with a new 50 h.p. Yanmar inboard engine for only 5 500 euro!

Location: Norway

Hull length: 10.97 meters
Width: 4.00 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

A very unusual offer and an interesting project. If you transform the appearance of the yacht then it will be a wonderful classic sailboat.

The yacht is equipped with a 50 h.p. Yanmar engine but it’s indicated that the engine must be powered.

Nothing is said about the sails and it’s also difficult to define their condition, so it’s better to ask the seller. Most likely the sails are in order as it can be seen that the yacht was equipped before, but not all the work was completed.

Of the disadvantages, of course, wood care. You should understand that on such a yacht, unlike a plastic one, you have to carry out a lot of work every year. Wood in poor condition is replaced with a new one and this process is done every year (so the yacht is 120 years old, and it’s still afloat).

The seller says that they have done a lot of work on the yacht’s hull over the past year and a half, but they have done nothing for the exterior. The previous owner has lived on the yacht for many years, so the interior is prepared for a comfortable life.

An excellent option for those who love unusual yachts, who know how to work with wood, and are interested in getting their hands on it. The cost of such a yacht in excellent condition will be 10-20 times higher!
