Friends! Today we have a Leisure 23 in good condition with an Honda outboard engine 8 h.p for just 2000 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 6.71 meters
Width: 2.39 meters
Draft: 0.81 meters
Berths: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available
Ceiling height: 1.73 meters

Very well maintained boat, especially for its price. As I said before, despite its small size, it is a full-fledged cruiser on which some crossed the oceans and travelled around the world.

A full set of sails which was handed over to repairs in 2020. The set includes a mainsail, a staysail, a storm staysail, a genoa and a spinnaker with a spinnaker boom.

There’s also an autopilot and an echo sounder which is also very good because autopilot inself costs 500 euro.

The boat comes with everything on board, i.e. with dishes, tools, spare parts, etc.

The Honda engine is 8 h.p. from 1999, it’s written that it is in good condition.

I remind you that this sailboat costs only 2000 euro! This is a great opportunity to start sailing with a small but full-fledged and comfortable boat.

Friends! Today I will show you what the autumn sale of boats is. This is Albin Ballad with a stationary Volvo Penta 2002 engine for only 2950 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.14 meters
Width: 2.96 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Kitchen (galley):
Toilet: available
Ceiling height: 1.9 meters

The boat has been on land for the last 2 years. No one has used it and therefore they are selling it. Most likely there’s some kind of dirt that has accumulated during this time and it will need to be thoroughly washed.

Volvo Penta 2002 engine, installed sometime in the 90s, new shaft in 2012, new exhaust system in 2015.

Fresh genoa (2016) with a twist. There’s an old staysail, a spinnaker, mainsail, 4 Lewmar winches. All the ropes go to the cockpit, everything is done very conveniently.

There is a GPS navigator, a VHF radio station, an autopilot, an electric compass, an ordinary compass, 220 volt sockets, lithium batteries, an ordinary starting, a charger.

Wallas heater, toilet was replaced in 2013, boiler (service required), a Bruce anchor, teak cockpit, mooring equipment, etc.

All this for only 2950 euro! This is a very good proposal if there are no significant problems there. The usual price for such a boat will be at least 2 times more expensive, i.e. about 6000 euro.

Of course, you have to look at life and evaluate the real state, but the offer is really very interesting.

This boat is small but very nice. It’s condition is very good. There’s a full set of sails, a good fresh outboard engine, a bow platform. The wood and plastic look good from the inside. There’s a new kitchen, cushions, mooring equipment, etc.

This boat is the great choice for those who want to try sailing. I think you can even bargain and try to negotiate for 2000 euro, it will be a normal bargaining.

Friends! Today we have a Maxi 68 with a 5 h.p. YAMAHA 4-stroke outboard engine for only 1500 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 6.8 meters
Width: 2.4 meters
Draft: 1.29 meters
Cabin height: 1.6 meters
Berths: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

It is a small boat for those looking to start on a minimal budget. There’s a fresh 4-stroke engine. It means fuel consumption will not be very high.

There’s a jib furler, the sails are in good condition, the running rigging is also in good condition. All the ropes go to the cockpit (which is quite convenient and rare for such a budget).

The wood is in good condition inside. The pillows could be altered to make the interior look more interesting.

There’s also an anchoring device, a navigator, mooring equipment, etc.

For the winter, you can moor it in Estonia. The price will be 250 euro for the whole season (not a month, but all winter).

You won’t go to the ocean on such a boat but it’s quite possible to sail around the Baltic, find out what yachting is and then sell it for 2000-3000 euro.

Friends! Today we have a Birdie 24 with a fresh 6 h.p. Mercury engine for only 2900 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 7.36 meters
Width: 2.41 meters
Draft: 1.24 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Cabin height: 1.55 meters
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet : available

It’s a small boat and it is suitable for beginners. Looks pretty! The only thing I don’t like is the fin keel, which is quite fragile. If this doesn’t bother you then it may be a good option.

There’s a spinning of the staysail, 2 sets of sails (1 old, 1 new). There’s a VHF radio station, 2 almost new batteries, a solar panel, all sorts of little things, mooring equipment, etc.

There’s a new Mercury 6 h.p. engine. The boat can be bought for 600 euro cheaper if you decide to buy it without an engine but in my opinion you should take it with an engine.

Friends! Today we have an Ohlson 29 with a Volvo Penta md6a motor and a Tohatshu 6 h.p., and all this for 1900 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.8 meters
Width: 2.7 meters
Draft: 1.6 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Cabin height: 1.83 meters
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The Volvo Penta engine requires service. Tohatsu 6 h.p. was bought as an alternative but in my opinion it’s better to refurbish an inboard engine.

The boat was updated and repainted. There are no pillows but it’s not a problem to make them. I think it will cost 300-500 euros.

There’s a spinning of the staysail, the sails are in good condition but there’s no UV protection (actually, this is also not a big problem, it can be sewn in any sailing workshop).

There’s an autopilot (which is very good for this price, a separate autopilot costs about 600 euro), rescue equipment, mooring equipment, GPS navigator, solar panel, diesel heater, anchor device, etc.

For this price (1900 euro) you’ll purchase a Tohatshu 6 h.p. engine and get the rest as a gift. If you deal with an inboard engine then Tohatshu can be sold and get most of the value of the boat back.

Friends! Today we have another baby. It’s an Amigo 23 with a Yanmar YSE8 inboard engine (it has a problem) and a Suzuki 6 h.p. outboard engine for only 1900 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 6.8 meters
Width: 2.3 meters
Draft: 1.12 meters
Keel type: long, full
Sleeps: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

I’ll tell you right away about the engine. It’s written that there’s either a faulty injector or it requires maintenance. The engine itself is in good condition, the owner says he doesn’t want to maintain it and in Norway such a service is quite expensive.

There’s a Suzuki 6 h.p. outboard motor. It works fine. For this size of boat outboard motors are generally used, inboard ones are very rare.

The wood and plastic look very fresh, the sails are also in good condition, the cushions are updated. There’s fresh antifouling, the electrics is in good condition also, there’s a VHF radio station, a 200 liter water tank (that’s a lot), mooring equipment, GPS navigator and much more!

One more small boat will allow you to start sailing at the price of a week charter! Then this boat can be sold in the Balticы for 3500-4000 euro and if the inboard engine is repaired, it is possible for 5000 euro.

Let me remind you that the price of this boat in Norway is only 1900 euro!

Friends! An awesome Albin Viggen with a fresh 4-stroke Yamaha 8 h.p. outboard motor for only 1900 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 7.1 meters
Width: 2.24 meters
Draft: 1.1 meters
Berths: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

A 4-stroke Yamaha 8 hp motor from 2013 was used very little.

The interior was updated. There’re fresh sails covers, fresh running rigging, new cushions in the cockpit, new cushions inside, wood and plastic look good, there’s also a solar panel, a swim ladder, a fridge, anchor handling equipment, wood outside was updated, too, fresh antifouling, mooring equipment, etc.

For € 1900 you get a great refurbished boat with a fresh 4-stroke engine which has plenty of power reserve for this boat.

Such engines consume significantly less fuel than 2-stroke engines so it turns out to be quite economical.

I think at cruising speed of 5 knots the consumption will be about 1-1.5 liters per hour for this boat.

In my opinion, it’s a perfect first boat. It can be sold in the Baltic countries for about 3500-4000 euros later.

Friends! Today we have a Hallberg Rassy misil 2 in very good condition with an outboard motor for only 1860 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.35 meters
Width: 2.3 meters
Draft: 1.2 meters
Berths: 4
Cabin height: 1.5 meters
Toilet: available (portable)
Kitchen (galley): available

Nothing is said about the engine but it is mentioned. The boat looks very nice from the outside, the bottom has been recently painted. The wood inside also looks good. You’ll need to work on an upholstery but it can be removed and painted with moisture-proof paint.

The mainsail cover and spray hood look fresh. The outside of the boat looks very well-tended. Perhaps the boat was repainted and a new gelcoat was made.

There is a complete set of sails but unfortunately no jib furler. Nothing is said about the condition of the sails either.

It’s a small boat but it is perfect for starting in sailing and it is also a boat of the legendary Hallberg Rassy brand which is also a big plus.

All this for 1860 euros, in my opinion, this is a great offer.
