Hallberg-Rassy Monsun with an updated Volvo Penta MD2030 engine for 21 900 euros!

Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy Monsun with an updated Volvo Penta MD2030 engine and a bow-thruster for 21 900 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.37 meters
Beam: 2.87 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

Very beautiful and well-maintained Monsun 31. It can be seen that the boat is owned by an experienced sailor who not only traveled on it, but also managed to participate in competitions on it and take prizes (judging by the photos with diplomas).

The classic interior is in excellent condition. New Lewmar hatches were installed. A new antifouling was applied. The ad has a link to Google Disc with more than 120 photos, if you’re interested, you can see how a really well–maintained yacht should look 😉

A new water heater is installed. A good stove with an oven, two sinks and a refrigerator. There is “smart” charging and a solar panel.

The sails inventory is not new, but in good condition. There are covers on the mainsail and the staysail. There is also a storm staysail and a spinnaker. All the running rigging looks new.

The boat has a 2003 Volvo Penta MD2030 engine. The engine is fully functional and has always been serviced on time. There is also a bow-thruster. This boat is very hard controlled in reverse, so the bow-thruster is very good.

There is a spray hood and a cockpit tent. A bathing ladder at the stern. Among the disadvantages, I would note the absence of an anchor winch with a chain on the bow.

The photo shows a chartplotter, autopilot and VHF radio station, there is also an echo sounder.

For an extra fee, you can pick up an inflatable boat with a 6 hp outboard. I would try to bargain and pick it up for free.

Elan 43 with a Yanmar engine for 32 700 euros!

Friends, today we have an Elan 43 with a Yanmar engine for 32 700 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 13.45 meters
Beam: 4.00 meters
Draft: 1.95 meters
Sleeping places: 9
Toilet (head): 2
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A reliable and seaworthy 43 ft boat. The boat is fully ready for living on board or long trips. The price for such a boat can start from 65K euros in the Mediterranean!

Three cabins, two toilets and a shower. There is also a hot and cold shower in the cockpit.

The boat looks very well-maintained inside. The wooden elements are in good condition. New plumbing. I really like the solution with a partition with windows between the salon and the forward cabin. It looks very cozy. What do you think? 🙂

The galley is equipped with everything you need: a new stove with an oven, two sinks and a refrigerator.

The owner says that the sails are in average condition and most likely will last for several more seasons, although they look good in the photo. There is a cover for the mainsail and a staysail on a furler with UV protection. Electric winch is installed in the cockpit.

The Yanmar 4JHBE engine was serviced on time and works like clockwork.

The boat is covered with teak, and it should definitely be replaced in the cockpit. This is quite expensive. You can think about replacing it with an artificial teak.

The boat also has a new chartplotter, anchor winch + 100 meters of chain, anemometer, compass, inflatable boat and much more.

Amigo 23 with a Yanmar engine for 1000 euros!

Friends, today we have an Amigo 23 with a Yanmar engine for 1000 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 6.80 meters
Beam: 2.30 meters
Draft: 1.12 meters
Sleeps: 4
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

There is very little information about the boat in the ad, but this can often be an interesting offer.

The boat has been in the same hands for the last 30 years, and it looks like the owner has been keeping a good eye on it.

The most important advantage is the working inboard Yanmar 7.5 hp engine.

The interior and cushions look good.

A full galley with a stove and sink with fresh and seawater.

The toilet is located in the forward cabin. Most likely it is a bio toilet. It looks new.

There is a Wallas 1400 heater in the cabin. The ad says that it works properly.

The sails: mainsail with a cover and roller furler genoa.

The autopilot is visible in the photo. It’s very good that it’s available. In fact, you pay for the autopilot, and the boat is a bonus 🙂

I also see a bracket for a chartplotter or tablet, perhaps some of this is also on the boat.

There is a spray hood and an anchor in the stern. This is also a very good advantage.

Friends, today we have the most interesting find — an Albin Viggen with Tohatsu engine for only 5 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.10 meters
Beam: 2.24 meters
Draft: 1.11 meters
Sleeps: 4
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

Yes, it’s not a typo. The boat is given as a gift to a person who is ready to take care of her.

When I found this ad, the boat cost 200 euros, and even then it was a very interesting offer. Now the owner is ready to give it away for free.

The boat is already very well-maintained and has good updates, for example, new halyards, teak in the cockpit, an entrance shield made of darkened glass.

The interior and cushions are in good condition. There is a galley with an alcohol stove and sink. The toilet is located in the forward cabin.

The sails look good. Mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furling. The wiring of the halyards to the cockpit has been done.

The Tohatsu outboard engine has recently been serviced, but sometimes it’s malfunctioning. The owner says it’s probably because of the carburetor. You need to look at the place.

There is a spray hood and cockpit cushions. There is an anchor with a chain on the stern.

Perhaps there are some navigation devices on the boat, then this boat may turn out to be a real treasure.

Friends, today we have Vindø 50 with an updated Yanmar engine and updated sails for 37 200 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 10.65 meters
Beam: 3.10 meters
Draft: 1.58 meters
Sleeps: 7
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

A good boat combining classic elements and modern solutions.

It’s clear that the boat is in caring hands. The mahogany elements look good.

The interior is in good condition. A galley with everything you need, including branded unbreakable dishes.

A fairly fresh 2017 sailing inventory. The mainsail and roller furler genoa. There is also a spinnaker with a spinnaker boom.

The Yanmar 3JH3E 38 hp 2000 engine starts and runs like clockwork. The engine has been always conserved for the winter, the oil and filters have been also changed every year. In 2021, the transmission was replaced.

The teak deck and cockpit were laid in 2015. The wood has been well cared for and is in good condition.

The boat has a bow thruster, which is very useful when maneuvering in marinas, especially when moving backwards. Two electric anchor winches (at the bow and at the stern). There is a spray hood and a cockpit tent.

Birdie 24 with a lot of updates for only 1300 euros!

Friends, today we have Birdie 24 with a lot of updates for only 1300 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.36 meters
Beam: 2.41 meters
Draft: 1.25 meters
Sleeps: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

A very interesting boat. The owner is moving soon and has to sell the boat at a low price.

The boat is clean and cozy. It’s clear that the boat was used and cared for.

There are many useful updates on the boat: the hatch of the forward cabin looks new, ropes to the cockpit have been brought. There is a furler for the staysail. A sprayhood and a cover for the mainsail are sewn.

The interior is in good condition. You may want to change the cushions, but it’s to your taste.

The owner wrote about things that need to be solved: the fresh water tank is not connected and the galley needs repair. What exactly needs to be done is not entirely clear. If you need to replace the stove, then this can be done very inexpensively (for about 200 euros).

Sails: mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furler. The staysail is not visible in the photo, it may have been removed. Thanks to the furler and wiring of the sheets and halyards into the cockpit, even a completely newbie can control such a boat.

The ad says that the engine has been recently serviced and is working well. But it doesn’t say what kind of engine. I also recommend checking this information with the owner before buying.

Maxi 95 with an updated 2014 Yanmar engine for 8770 euros!

Friends, today we have a Maxi 95 with an updated 2014 Yanmar engine for 8770 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.50 meters
Beam: 3.20 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

Perhaps one of the most interesting offers in recent times. The average market price of such Maxis can reach up to 20K.

The boat looks well maintained. It was repainted by the previous owner, after which it was rarely used. New portholes. There is a hot water tank, but it’s not connected.

Cute shutters made of darkened glass at the entrance.

There is a single-burner stove in the galley, but I would replace it. In my opinion one burner is not very convenient. There is a fridge in the galley.

Full set of sails: mainsail with cover, genoa and storm staysail. The sails are in good condition. The halyards and sheets are brought into the cockpit.

The original Volvo Penta engine was replaced by the Yanmar in 2014.

The cockpit has a teak and a beautiful teak table with cup holders. New cockpit cushions.

The boat also has a chartplotter, autopilot and a wind strength and direction meter.
