Friends! Today we have an unknow 32 ft sailboat at a very interesting price — only 3400 euro!

📍 Location: Sweden

Main specifications:

• Length: 9.75 m
• Engine: 3-cylinder Solé diesel, installed in 2005
• Engine hours: approx. 1,000 h
• Sails: mainsail and three headsails

The original listing does not state the model, but from the photos the hull and deck look to be in good condition, and the price for this length is very attractive.

The most valuable finds often hide behind the most boring listings. No model name, no description — just a couple of blurry photos and a few lines of text.

At first glance, nothing special. But in reality, it can turn out to be a real gem.

This might be exactly one of those cases, and I would definitely go and take a look at this boat in person.

It actually happened to me once: I went to see a boat “just in case,” with zero expectations — the listing looked empty and unremarkable. But when I got there, the boat was packed with equipment, well maintained, and the total investment in upgrades was over €25,000!

Friends! Today we have a Semona 30 — a reliable, ready-for-adventure sailboat with a well-thought-out layout, for 4,550 euro!

📍 Location: Sweden

• Length: 9.0 m
• Beam: 2.7 m
• Draft: 1.25 m
• Weight: approx. 3 tonnes
• Keel type: long keel
• Engine: Yanmar YSM 12
• Sails: mainsail, genoa and gennaker
• Fuel tank: 40 L
• Water tank: 80 L

This boat was originally intended for an Atlantic crossing, but life had other plans. Instead of ocean passages she has earned her stripes in the Åland Islands and the outer Stockholm archipelago, confidently handling even the toughest stretches. The Semona 30 is a boat that can withstand more than you’d expect from a 9-metre hull.

Thanks to the long keel, the yacht tracks steadily and calmly, while the shallow draft allows you to approach close to shore and anchor by rocks and islets that are inaccessible to many other boats.

The Semona 30 is known as a safe, easy-to-handle and forgiving boat — an ideal choice for those who want to start sailing without sacrificing comfort.

Inside — a clever layout: a roomy galley area, a full dining table for four and sleeping accommodation for up to six people. It’s one of the few boats of this size where you can realistically stay aboard comfortably for several days in a row.

⚓ Equipment:

• Galley with stove, oven and large refrigerator
• GPS
• Autopilot
• Diesel heater (Webasto)
• Service battery with relay and solar panel
• Cookware and kitchen utensils

⚓ Extras / recent work:

• Full engine overhaul in 2023
• New starter and alternator in 2025
• Sails well maintained and regularly serviced
