Friends! Today we have an inexpensive Albin Vega with an operating original Volvo Penta MD6A 10 h.p. engine for only 2750 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.25 meters
Width: 2.46 meters
Draft: 1.17 meters
Berths: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The engine is original. It is a potential problem for me personally. You never know when it will break. If it does not bother you, then 2750 euro for a conditionally offshore boat is very, very cheap.

Usually for that kind of money, Albin Vega is sold with a broken stationary engine and an installed outboard one.

This Albin Vega is slightly modified. The anchor was mounted on the bow. There is a jib furler. Plastic and wood are in good condition (even more so for 2750 euro!)

There are various equipment, accessories, ropes, dishes, etc. Everything is given with a boat. There is also a GPS navigator and a heater.

The boat looks fresh, clean and pleasant. If you know how to deal with engines and the old engine doesn’t bother you, then this boat would be a great choice.

Friends! Today we have a Tur 84 with an updated 10 h.p. Yanmar engine (2015) for only 2500 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.35 meters
Width: 2.6 meters
Draft: 1.35 meters
Berths: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The boat looks very good but there is still work to be done. The engine is fresh but it seems to me that for a boat of this size it is worth having a more powerful engine. Despite the fact that the original boat has the same power engine.

There is no jib furler but don’t forget that this is a boat for 2500 euro with an updated engine. If everything was here, then this offer would be too suspicious.

New compass, new toilet, new alcohol stove, VHF radio, new echo sounder (needs to be installed).

A full set of sails. There’s a spinnaker with a spinnaker boom. Anchor with a chain of 15 meters and a rope of 40 meters.

All the tools and adds-on are also included in the price, such as dishes, mooring lines, fenders, etc.

In my opinion, it is an excellent budget option. Maybe on this boat you need to finish something yourself but it’s not difficult.

Friends! Today we have a legendary Albin Vega sailboat with an original Albin Q21 engine and Yamaha 5 h.p. outboard motor for only 2000 euro!

Location: Mariehamn, Aland Islands

Length: 8.25 meters
Width: 2.46 meters
Draft: 1.17 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

Albin Q21 engine is an inboard gasoline engine. It does not work properly so they installed an outboard Yamaha motor.

If you bring the inboard engine in order, then the outboard can become a spare one + it can be used for an inflatable raft.

The only thing I really don’t like is the idea of ​​an inboard gasoline engine. It’s not very safe.

There’s a jib furler, a fresh genoa with a cover, a fresh cover for the mainsail, and a fresh tent for the cockpit. The mainsail is in good condition.

The boat looks good enough both inside and outside. Plastic and wood are in good condition. Only the lids of the lockers and the table need to be repaired, but in principle it’s not difficult.

There’s a swim platform (it’s very convenient), VHF radio station, an inflatable raft, a heater, mooring equipment, etc.

The ad says that there’s a lot of equipment on the boat and it all works. I think the details can be requested separately from the seller if you text him.

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.

Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Kitchen (galley):
Toilet: available

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.

Location: Sweden

Length: 6.8 meters
Width: 2.4 meters
Draft: 1.29 meters
Cabin height: 1.6 meters
Berths: 4

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.

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).

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

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.
