Friends, take a look at Compis 28 with Yanmar YSB8 8hp motor for only 2300 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.56 meters
Width: 2.84 meters
Draft: 1.51 meters
Berths: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

The motor Yanmar YSB8 powered 8 hp is original. It is low-powered in my opinion, in some weather you can be lacking power though in the old days it was widely thought that it was enough.

The plastic looks good (just wash it). The set of sails includes a mainsail and a jib with the furler.

There’s a swim platform on the stern, an autopilot Raymarine ST1000, a GPS navigator Raymarine, a solar panel, new electric wiring, a heater Wallas, a stove, a fridge, a full set of mooring equipment.

The seller says that this sailboat is now on the shore but there’s no problem to float it off. There are also some disadvantages: a starter battery needs to be replaced and a sprayhood needs some repair (this isn’t expensive).

The owner gives a lot of documents and receipts with this sailboat so you will easily find out the history of repairs and maintenance.

A 28 feet sailboat with an inboard motor and big amount of expensive equipment for only 2300 euro. It’s a really good offer!

Friends! Today we have Becker 27 with an inboard motor Yanmar YSM 8 for 2950 euro only!

Location: Sweden

Hull length: 8.12 meters
Width: 2.74 meters
Draft: 1.43 meters
Berths: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

This is a rather big and spacious sailboat, there’s an additional single berth (it’s comfortable for a kid), there’s an inboard motor – and it costs less than 3000 euro!

Plastic and wood are in order, there’s a full set of sails and also the storm sails are included.

This sailboat was updated, ex. sprayhood was made recently, the ceiling was repaired, the sails are also relatively fresh.

There are two batteries, a fridge, a kitchen with a spirit stove, navigation lights, an anchor with a small chain, life-saving equipment, mooring equipment, etc.

In my opinion this is a good offer for the ones who want a rather big sailboat with enough space for several thousands.

The main disadvantage is the original engine, besides, there’s no genoa furler there. If it doesn’t bother you – you can get a cool sailboat at a cheap price.

Hi friends! I wanna show you a wooden Koster K6 from 1954 with an outboard motor Yamaha 5 hp for 1500 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 6 meters
Width: 2.6 meters
Draft: 0.6 meters

This one goes with a soul component, you have to take care of it but as if it’s a small one – it goes easier than with a big wooden sailboat.

The rigging type is haffle tender, very unusual.

It’s like a toy for a grown-up, this thing is a special hobby. You have to work on it and update it also, you have to fix smth anyways.

And feel like you’re an adventure book traveller 🙂

Friends! Look at this Magnifik Midget with the fresh engine (2017) for only 1900 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7 meters
Width: 2.12 meters
Draft: 0.98 meters
Keel: long (full)
Berths: 4
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

The external plastic was refreshed, the new gelcoat was made, so the yacht looks as if it is new. There’s the fresh set of sails, the old sails are given with the sailboat, too, you can use it as reserve sails. There’s a storm jib and a spinnaker with a spinnaker boom.

An outboard motor (2017) has a small haulage (the owner didn’t give a concrete number but I think it is about 100-200 motor hours).

This sailboat is for sale together with the keelblock (a stage for storage on the shore), if you don’t need it, you can either sell it or arrange the discount with the owner.

Anchors, mooring ropes, fenders, absorbers, new cushions and curtains, compass, battery (2019), sprayhood (2020), running rigging (updated in 2019-2021), new floor which imitates teak (2020), water tank (2020), LED lights (2019), different items for travelling with comfort, echo sounder and temperature transducers but there’s no display (just buy it and install), etc.

The owner invested a lot of efforts and money in this sailboat. In my opinion, this offer is a real gift! Everything costs only 1900 euro 🙂

Friends, we have Lotus 25 today. This is a sailboat with an outboard motor Tohatsu 6 hp for 1200 euro only!

Location: France

Length: 7.5 meters
Width: 2.4 meters
Draft: 1.4 meters
Berths: 4
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

An outboard motor Tohatsu 6 hp was serviced. The rigging is in good condition, there’s a jib furler with UV protection.

The hull looks good. The owner recommends making the new antifouling for the underwater part of the hull (it’s a regular procedure).

There are some works to do here, eg., it’s worth cleaning up inside, tightening some fittings, besides, the on-board electric system should be extended and the 12V and 220V harnessing should be fixed. I think in this situation this is an advantage because you can make it in your image.

Obviously some works were made but the owner was lack of the time to finish it and has to sell the sailboat now.

This is a good project for the one who wants to make the sailboat for himself, herewith the budget is rather modest. Some investments, tightenings by your own – and you’ll have a good updated sailboat at a cheap price.

Friends! Maxi 77 sailboat today for only € 2500! It is equipped with an outboard 8 hp motor (2008).

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.7 meters
Width: 2.5 meters
Cabin height: 1.75 meters
Draft: 1.4 meters
Berths: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

The hull and the wood are in good condition, the upholstery came off a bit (see the photo) but it’s basically easy and inexpensive to fix.

The motor Yamaha 8 hp (2008) is in order, it was stored in a garage during the winters.

There’s a jib furler, all the ropes go to the cockpit, so this beauty is easy to single-hand.

There’s a VHF radio station, autopilot, GPS navigator, 2 solar panels 50 Wt with a controller. New batteries (2020), new sprayhood, new covers and full set of mooring equipment.

Current owners are a family with 2 kids 🙂

In my opinion Maxi 77 is a sailboat for cabotage but as judged by the owner’s opinion it is rather spacious inside for its size.

You can buy this sailboat for 1-2 seasons, get a feel of sailing and sell it at the same price or even at a higher price (you can easily sell it for € 3000-4000) and compensate for small expenses you had.

In fact you will have free sailing in this case 🙂 Besides, you will gain some captain experience. No need to do long passages, you can travel in Sweden and Finland and moor the sailboat in Estonia for winter for € 200 (it is the price for the whole season, not for a month).

In most Baltic countries you don’t need a license to sail a yacht like this so you can only learn some theory online (I will tell you soon how to do it) and ask some experienced captain to teach you for several days. That’s enough for your first self-sustained steps 🙂

Sailing is not as complicated and terrifying as some people say.

Friends, today we have Jeanneau Brio with a 6 h.p. outboard motor for only 1900 euro!

Location: France

Length: 6.6 meters
Width: 2.50 meters
Draft: 1.1 meters
Engine: outboard 6 h.p.
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

It’s a small sailboat with an anchor box, mooring fee for this size is the cheapest. Outboard engine (6 h.p.) was maintained and it’s in good condition.

Sails are in good condition. There’s a complete set. Genoa is in a classic design without furler. All the ropes go to the cockpit.

All mooring equipment is included. The boat is ready to sail. You may request the full list of equipment from the seller.

The cockpit is snow-white and the hull on the whole looks good especially given that the price is 1900 euro 🙂

The sailboat is located very close to Bordeaux. So you can reach the Mediterranean by canals in 10 days (just the way I did two years ago, I described it in my book). Just add 100 euro for using the canals, and here’s a sailboat in the Mediterranean!

Hi friends! Meet Magnifik Midget with a fresh motor Tohatsu 5 h.p. for 1500 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7 meters
Width: 2.12 meters
Draft: 0.98 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

People ask for sailboats in the range of 1000 euro, so here you are 🙂

A small long-keel sailboat in good condition with a fresh outboard engine Tohatsu 5 h.p.

Plastic looks good, it is written that wood and the interior on the whole look good as well but unfortunately the owner didn’t attach the photos.

There are 3 sails (most likely 1 mainsail and 2 jibs), unfortunately there’s no jib furler but basically it is ok for this price.

The winter mooring fee was already paid so you can just come in spring to pick it up.

In my opinion this is a good option of the first sailboat. You can train a bit, try sailing and understand what sailing is, travel in summer 2021 and then sell the boat in autumn 2021 for about 3000 in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Germany or Poland (or somewhere else in the Baltic Sea).

Only 1500 euro for a boat with a fresh outboard motor, good condition, the winter mooring fee is paid, what else do you need to be happy? 🙂

I will be excited to know your opinion, what do you think?
