Friends, today we have an Albin Cirrus with a Volvo Penta engine for only 2995 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.80 meters
Beam: 2.76 meters
Draft: 1.49 meters
Sleeps: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A nice and well-maintained boat. There is little information in the ad, but it often happens that the ad is made briefly, but in fact, the boat has everything you need.

The interior and cushions are in excellent condition. The boat is clean and dry.

It’s not visible in the photo, but this model should have a full-fledged galley on the port side. Most likely with an alcohol stove, sink and an ice-box.

A full set of sails: a mainsail with a cover and a staysail with a classic setting. The sails are in good condition. All sheets and halyards are carried into the cockpit to steer the boat alone. A spinnaker boom is visible in the photo, perhaps there is also a spinnaker itself.

The boat has an original Volvo Penta MD5 engine. The engine and engine room look clean, without hints of oil leakage and rust.

There is a solar panel mounted on a rack and a good controller for it. There is also a good battery charger.

Also, a trailer is given with the boat, and it’s possible to re-register the right of ownership on the berth.

How do you like this yacht? It seems to me that this could be a very interesting offer for the first boat.

If you want to see the ad, let me know, I’ll be happy to share it.

Friends, today we have a Marieholm MS20 with a new Parsun outboard motor for only 2,200 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 6.00 meters
Beam: 2.20 meters
Draft: 0.90 meters
Sleeps: 3
Toilet (head): no
Kitchen (galley): yes

A clean and well-maintained boat. A great option for the first boat.

The boat is unlikely to be suitable for long trips, it’s rather a day-sailer.

The interior is in good condition. New upholstery and new cushions. All teak elements have been restored. The boat is stored in a warm room every winter.

There is a gas stove.

Good sails: mainsail and staysail on a furling.

The boat has a 5 hp Parsun outboard engine with a long leg, which is still under warranty.

There is also a faulty Volvo Penta MD1 on the boat. Often the owners of such small boats do not want to bother with repairing the main engine and just buy an outboard one. This can be a great opportunity to figure out the engine design and maybe even fix it yourself.

A new sprayhood is sewn, a new tiller is made of teak. There is a swimming ladder at the stern. There is a new anchor with a chain and a line.

Also, a tent for storage and cradles are provided with the boat.

Friends, today we have an Albin Vega with an inboard 0-22 engine and an outboard Suzuki for just 2390 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.25 meters
Beam: 2.46 meters
Draft: 1.12 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Toilet (head): available
Kitchen (galley): available

Albin Vega is one of the best boats to start, in my opinion.

I had two Albin Vega, the first one I had for a year, and the second one for 3 years. I went around Europe on such a boat, lived for half a year 3 times, I liked everything, and I changed it only because of relocation.

A thick and sturdy hull, a long keel, and the presence of at least a partially dedicated toilet. The boat is quite wide and spacious for its length.

There is a galley with an alcohol stove and a sink. The boat is repainted inside, all the cushions are updated and available. The boat looks clean and cozy.

In the photo, I see a deflector and a panel for turning on the diesel heater. If it works, then that’s good.

A new bilge pump is installed. And a new Porta Potti toilet.

Full set of sails: mainsail, genoa and second spare mainsail. The sails are in good working condition.

There is an inboard Albin O-22 diesel engine on the boat, but the owner does not want to bother with its repair and installed a Suzuki outboard engine. Having an internal engine is a plus. You can fix it yourself, and this is a good experience.

Friends, today we have an Alo Mikkel 30 with an Evinrude outboard engine for just 1700 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.1 meters
Beam: 3.05 meters
Draft: 1.70 meters
Sleeps: 5
Toilet (head): available
Kitchen (galley): available

An interesting and inexpensive boat. Can be a good starting boat for getting skills.

The boat has been upgraded, and the interior is clean and cozy.

The galley is equipped with a 2-burner alcohol stove, sink and refrigerator. A freshwater tank is installed. There is an enclosed toilet with a septic tank.

The electrics are in order. Shore power outlets and 12V sockets are installed.

A full set of sails: a mainsail with a lazy bag, a genoa on a furling and a spinnaker. The sails are in excellent condition.

The outboard 4-stroke Evinrude 6 hp engine is installed on the boat. The engine is only 4 years old and it works perfectly.

Also, there is a Simrad tiller autopilot, an anchor with a chain and rope, fenders, mooring lines and more equipment on the boat.

The photo shows a dinghy with an outboard, but the ad does not say about it. You can try to bargain and pick it up with the boat, if it is not included.

Friends, today we have a Tur 80 with an inboard Yanmar engine for only 2400 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 7.85 meters
Beam: 2.51 meters
Draft: 1.08 meters
Sleeps: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

A great, inexpensive little boat. The layout is clean and cozy. The interior and cushions were updated.

There is a galley with a two-burner stove and even a new large refrigerator. There is a bio toilet, which is quite convenient in small passages.

In general, the boat is spacious enough and there is a lot of space for a boat of this length.

Full set of sails: mainsail and staysail on a furling.

The boat has an inboard Yanmar YSE8 diesel engine, which has been regularly serviced and works properly.

The cockpit is laid with teak. Wood looks good, but the sikaflex has already come out in several places. Better watch it live.

Of course, there is a place to put your hands on a boat for such a price. And the owner is honest about it in the ad.

It seems to me that this could be a very interesting offer.

Friends, today we have a small but very well-maintained Sunwind 26 boat with a stationary Volvo Penta engine for only 3000 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.80 meters
Beam: 2.60 meters
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeps: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

A beautiful and roomy for such size boat of Finnish production. She was very well cared for. Fresh paint. More tight cushions are sewn. Most of the plumbing has been updated.

Galley with two-burner stove and sink. Flexible water tank for 75 liters. New toilet with a new septic tank. All hoses and pumps have been updated.

A complete set of sails: mainsail with lazy jacks, a staysail with a classic setting (no furling), a spinnaker and a spare older staysail.

A working inboard Volvo Penta MD5 engine is installed on the boat. Usually on boats of this type, the engine is removed, and an outboard one is installed, so as not to mess around with repairs. But here the engine is in good working condition, it was always serviced correctly and on time and starts and works without problems.

In addition to a good motor, there is a lot of good equipment on the boat: an autopilot, an echo sounder, a solar panel, a new starter and house battery, two anchors, a heater and much more.

Friends, today we have a Karlskrona Viggen with an outboard engine for only 1500 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 7.10 meters
Beam: 2.24 meters
Draft: 1.06 meters
Sleeps: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

This model is the predecessor of the more popular Albin Viggen boat.

Very well-maintained and nice boat. Durable construction with a long keel and a protected rudder.

It seems to me that this boat is almost an ideal option for the first boat, due to its simplicity and reliability.

An open type of cabin with two sleeping places in the nose and two places along the sides. Galley with 1-burner stove and sink with electric pump and fresh water tank.

Biotoilet. New cushions. The interior is in good condition.

Sails: mainsail with cover and staysail. The staysail is on a Furlex furling, which is quite rare on boats of this size. All sails are in good condition.

The boat is equipped with an old Yamaha outboard motor of 3.5 hp. The engine, although old, starts and works like clockwork. New rotatable bracket, for easier maneuvering in marinas.

A new spray hood and new winches, a teak floor in the cockpit, two spacious lockers and even a solar battery.

Also, fenders, mooring lines, canvas, stands for winter storage and much more is given with the boat.

Friends, today we have a Bellona 23 with a Mercury engine for just 1700 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.05 meters
Beam: 2.44 meters
Draft: 1.33 meters
Sleeps: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

A very cozy and well-maintained little boat. The interior and cushions are in excellent condition.

Perfect first boat for small day trips.

There is a galley with a two-burner stove and a sink with fresh and seawater. The toilet is located in the salon, it’s not always comfortable, but you need to understand that this is a boat for day sailing for a minimum budget 😉

Full set of sails: a mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furling with a cover. There is a third sail, but no info about its type. All three sails are in excellent condition. Sheets and halyards are brought to the cockpit, which allows you to control the boat alone.

The boat has a 4-stroke Mercury outboard motor of 6 hp. The engine is fully operational and performs its tasks well. The engine control selector is located in the cockpit.

Despite the little information in the ad, I think it could be an interesting offer. You can see that the boat was well cared for and made for easy one hand managing.

Friends, today we have AL Colvic 26 with new sails for only 2600 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.21 meters
Beam: 2.72 meters
Draft: 1.07 meters
Sleeps: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

Clean and well-maintained small boat. During its tenure, the current owner made many significant upgrades. New doors, teak bulkheads were sanded and varnished, new upholstery was made.

Galley with stove and sink. A new refrigerator was installed. The toilet with a septic tank is located in a separate room, which is quite rare for boats of such a small size.

The boat is given with brand new sails 2022. Mainsail and genoa on a furling. Also, the owner gives the spinnaker, used mainsail and staysail. The spare sails are also in very good shape.

An inboard Yanmar diesel engine is installed on the boat. The engine is faulty. The owner doesn’t understand the repair of the engine, so he uses an outboard motor. Perhaps the engine problem is not very serious and it can be repaired. It can be a good practice to get the repair skill.

Such a boat, in my opinion, can be a very good option for the first boat. It has everything for comfortable sailing. Fresh sailing inventory, lots of mooring lines, fenders and more.

Friends, today we have a Shipman 28 with a Yanmar engine for only 2800 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.86 meters
Beam: 2.60 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeps: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

Clean and well–maintained boat. The interior and cushions look good.

Many people love this model for its ergonomics. The table on the starboard side folds in a double bed, instead of two beds along the sides.

The galley is equipped with a stove, sink and refrigerator. The Jabsco toilet with a septic tank is located in a separate room. There is a heater on the boat.

A complete set of sails: a mainsail with a new cover and lazy jacks and a staysail on a Furlex furling. All sails are in good condition. The running rigging has been recently updated.

The Yanmar YSE8G engine starts and runs without problems.

There is an autopilot on the boat.

Also, for an additional fee of 700 euros, you can pick up a powerful single-axle trailer. I would try to bargain and take it with the boat.
