Category: Sailboats from 1,000 to 3,000 euros

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.

Friends, today we have a Bostrøm 31 MK2 with a Yanmar engine for just 1890 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.33 meters
Beam: 2.76 meters
Draft: 1.80 meters
Sleeps: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

A very interesting offer. The current owner is a student and he can’t manage the boat anymore. That’s why such an attractive price.

Externally, the boat looks well-maintained. Fresh antifouling, wooden elements are revarnished, a new floor made of artificial teak in the cabin, new cushions.

The galley has a new Origo alcohol stove, sink and refrigerator. A new Jabsco toilet has been installed.

Lots of sails. The mainsail of 2015, two genoa in good condition, a spinnaker and various staysails and jibs.

The boat has an inboard Yanmar 2GM diesel engine with a power of 13 hp. The engine doesn’t work, but the owner has no experience repairing engines, and he cannot determine the problem, so he uses a 6 hp Yamaha outboard. I think that even with such a breakdown, this could be a very interesting deal.

The boat is quite well equipped. There is a Garmin chartplotter, a VHF, a new solar panel 2021, a life raft and even a dinghy (a small inflatable boat).

Width: 2.35 meters
Draft: 1.5 meters

Clean and tidy boat, easy to operate and inexpensive to maintain. The boat has been in the same hands for 12 years. During this time, the owner has updated many important nodes.

The cabin has a small galley with 2 Origo hotplates and a sink. The interior is in good condition. Head with septic tank. The forward cabin is quite spacious. The headroom of 185 cm allows standing almost full-length even to a tall person.

The inboard engine served its purpose and was replaced with a new 5hp outboard Mercury motor 3 years ago, which, in fact, has a little more performance than the old one.

A sprayhood is installed in the cockpit, nets are stretched on the rails, the entrance shield made of darkened glass, sheets and halyards are brought into the cockpit.

Friends, today we have a Hallberg Rassy Misil II with a Johnson engine for just 2,380 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.35 meters
Width: 2.30 meters
Draft: 1.20 meters
Sleeps: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: unavailable

The boat looks nice and clean. I’ll give away such a boat to one of the lucky who purchased my course “A small sailboat captain”.

The boat has everything you need to start conquering the wind and the sea. In my opinion, this is a great option for the first boat.

With a length of 7.35 meters, the boat has a width of 2.30 meters, which gives the feeling of a larger boat. Also, this width fits into the road size, which means that you can not be tied to any particular water area.

Of course, there is always something to fix on a boat for such a price, but there are no serious problems with the boat, and I would consider this as an opportunity to practice minor repairs.

There is an alcohol stove and a sink in the galley. There is a heater installed in the cabin, new cushions. The boat has a solar panel and a wind generator (not installed yet).

Full set of sails: mainsail with a cover, genoa on a furling, storm staysail, spinnaker with a spinnaker boom and an additional genoa. The sails are in good working condition.

The boat is equipped with a Johnson outboard engine with a capacity of 6 hp. The engine starts and works properly.

A stereo system, a VHF radio station, an anchor with an anchor line, a charger, batteries, fenders, mooring lines and much more is given with the boat.

Friends, today we have a Marieholm S20 with a Yamaha outboard engine for only 1050 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 6 meters
Width: 2.25 meters
Draft: 0.95 meters
Sleeps: 4

This small boat looks very neat and well-groomed. It can be loaded onto a trailer and transported to the waters in which you want to use it.

The underwater part of the boat has recently been painted.

The ad says that several sails are being given, including a new mainsail with a lazy jack.

All the running rigging is carried into the cockpit. A fresh spray hood is installed on the boat.

The following equipment is given with the boat: GPS navigator, Navman tri-data, echo sounder, new battery, anchor and mooring equipment, etc.

Also there is a brand new autopilot on the boat (its price is 600 euros). The owner is ready to give it away for 400 euros, but I always recommend bargaining and trying to pick up the autopilot along with the boat.

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.95 meters
Width: 2.95 meters
Draft: 1.45 meters
Sleeps: 6
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

Johnson 26 is popularly called “the largest small boat” due to the width of almost three meters.

There is an alcohol stove, a sink with fresh water under pressure and a refrigerator in the galley. The cushions and the interior are in very good condition. The spacious dining area unfolds into a double bed. There is a heater in the salon.

A full set of sails: a mainsail, a staysail, a spare staysail and an almost new spinnaker with a spinnaker boom.

The onboard Volvo Penta MD5A starts the first time and runs smoothly.

There is also a lot of useful equipment installed on the boat: autopilot, VHF radio station, Garmin chartplotter, anchor and mooring equipment and much more.

I think that such an equipped and well-maintained boat is just a gift for this price.
