Catamaran Minicat 310 for 1000 euro (the brand new one costs 4000 euro).

Friends! We have an unusual post today, it is devoted to an inflatable dismountable catamaran Minicat 310 for 1000 euro (the brand new one costs 4000 euro).

Location: France, Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Length: 3.1 meters
Height of the mast: 3.8 meters
Maximum capacity: 230 kg but the less — the quicker and more joyful
Assembly time: 20 minutes
Weight: 35 kg
Dimensions when packed: 1350x400x400 mm

Dismountable cats have two main advantages:

1. They rock! Lots of fun, splashes, you are as close to the water as possible, so you feel the speed at its maximum.

It is good even for the very beginners, you can watch a couple of video lessons — and you can already start trying. It is really easy to manage.

2. When packaged this cat occupies little space and it is easy to transport, you can store it anywhere. It means that you don’t need to pay for mooring, and you also can go to any water source, assemble the cat for 20 minutes and enjoy sailing.

It is certainly more like a toy, using such a cat in a wind more than 20 knots is dangerous. It is not suitable for travel.

My way started from a cat like this and it gave me a good experience. I had a much bigger cat though, I can tell about it in a separate post if you are interested.

This catamaran is sold at a cheap price, 1000 euro is only 25% of the price for a new one. Usually they are sold at 60-70% of the price of a new cat.

Location: France, Bay of Biscay

Hull length: 9.30 meters
Width: 3.25 meters
Draft: 1.68 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available

Plastic, wood, sails and the mast look extremely good, the only thing I don’t like is the cushion design but you can make new covers for 100-200 euro, the yacht will look completely different after that.

The owner made engine overhaul in 2018. Most components were replaced, fuel tank was cleaned, the shaft was disassembled and checked.

This sailboat is equipped with all the necessary stuff, there’s a GPS navigator, jib furler, autopilot, VHF radio station, reserve battery, wind meter, speedometer, echo sounder, all the sheats go to the cockpit, waterproof deck electric socket, two anchors, anchor chain + anchor rope, electric pump for fresh water in the sink, gas stove, flexible water tank 120 litres, toilet was replaced in 2020, life raft, mooring equipment and many other equipment.

This sailboat was almost completely updated and invested a lot — just see the amount of equipment and updates. ЯIt means that most likely this sailboat is ready for travels and doesn’t need serious costs.

The seller wrote that the price is negotiable so maybe you will succeed to drop off a couple of thousands. But 15000 euro is a very good price for such a cool offer as well!

BENETEAU Evasion 25 with an updated inboard motor 25 h.p. for only 7500 euro!

Friends! Today we have motorsailer BENETEAU Evasion 25 with an updated inboard motor 25 h.p. for only 7500 euro!

Location: France, Mediterranean Sea

Hull length: 7.30 meters
Width: 2.66 meters

Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

This is a yacht with long keel and fresh motor 25 h.p. (haulage is 747 hours), there’s a jib furler, plastic and wood seem to be in good condition, it also has an excellent planning for its size.

Antifouling was made in October 2020, a special arc for equipment like solar panels or radiators is installed on the stern.

Unfortunately there’s no detailed list of equipment but I think everything on the boat is yours. It is written that there is a GPS navigator, echo sounder, radio station, full set of mooring equipment. You can request for a full list of equipment, contact the owner.

It is your perfect option if you are still undecided what you like more: steering wheels or tillers. This boat has both 🙂

You can make a fully covered cockpit there and install the aircon, so you will create your favorite microclimate in the cockpit. Or you can just install the bimini.

Beneteau First 30 Е with an updated inboard motor today — only 13000 euro!

Location: France

Hull length: 9.30 meters
Width: 3.25 meters
Draft: 1.68 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

This is a yacht with 2 separate bedrooms, separate toilet and big lockers for storage (you can keep equipment and different stuff there).

The motor was replaced in 2007, it is rather fresh for a sailboat but certainly not new. Most likely the haul is under 1000 hours.

The outside appearance is very pleasant, the plastic looks perfect. I’m sure in real life it has some defects but most likely they are small and not critical.

The sails seem to be in good condition, the covers are new, there’s also a jib furler.

There’s quite a lot of equipment but it is not listed in the ad. The owner wrote that he is ready to provide more photos and the full list of equipment at the request.

In my opinion, if everything is ok with this sailboat after checking, then it is a real gift for 13000 euro!

You asked for smth bigger, right? This is a unique option 🙂

This yacht is made of reinforced cement, this material is rather specific but it is used for yacht building indeed.

The engine Solé 45 h.p. was installed in 2010, the haulage is less than 900 hours.

The sails were in usage for 2 seasons only! Genoa and jib have the furler and UV protection. Mainsail and mizzen sail have lazy bag and there are also stairs on the mast.

Lots of equipment, long keel, different electricity sources, stairs on the mast, radar – I think all these markers mean that the yacht was prepared for a world cruise or other serious passages.
