Displacement: 3,300 kg
Ballast: 1,650 kg

Shipman 28 with a fresh Ferryman Diesel engine for 4400 euros!

Friends, today we have a well-maintained Shipman 28 with a fresh Ferryman Diesel engine for 4400 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.86 meters
Beam: 2.60 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Nice and very well-maintained Shipman. Many people like this model for its layout.

The interior is in very good condition. New cushions. The saloon is clean and cozy.

There is a galley with a stove, sink and refrigerator.

The Shipman 28 has a fin keel, but it’s molded with the hull and has no bolts, which means there is nothing to rot. The rudder is protected with a skeg.

The old engine was replaced with a newer Ferryman Diesel with 12 hp with a reliable straight shaft.

I see in the photo a transom for mounting an outboard motor. It worries me. Usually, if you hang a transom «just in case», then most likely this case has already happened. It may have been installed before the purchase of a new engine. You have to be careful.

There is a mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furling. New Lewmar winches have been installed.

It’s said that the deck is covered with teak, but this is not visible in the photo. There is an anchor at the stern.

The photo shows that there is a spray hood, but the owner says it needs to be repaired (something with a zipper).

There is no information about the equipment, but there may be some minimal set, for example, VHF or log. I’ve already seen this before, I came to see an «empty» boat, but in fact it turned out that everything was there, and even an autopilot.

Comfort 30 with a teak deck and autopilot for only 5000 euros!

Friends, today we have a well-maintained Comfort 30 with a teak deck and autopilot for only 5000 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.09 meters
Beam: 3.03 meters
Draft: 1.70 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Very neat and well-maintained Comfort 30.

A nice Swedish sailboat with a nice interior and a beautiful teak deck.

The boat is ashore now. Parking is paid till the end of summer of 2025. It’s very good. There’s probably something on the boat that can be fixed or improved, and you won’t be pressed for time.

Two new batteries, purchased in 2024. New batteries are always a good thing. I would definitely check how it’s connected and in what condition the electrical wiring is.

The galley has a two-burner stove, sink and Isotherm refrigerator with freezer.

A new spray hood and cockpit tent have been sewn. There are cushions in the cockpit.

The deck is covered with teak. The wood looks great in the photo. Teak is expensive and difficult. It’s better trying to keep it in good condition than fixing it later.

Complete set of sails: a mainsail in a cover, a self-tacking jib on a furler and a genoa. The sheets and halyards are brought into the cockpit.

The boat has an inboard Volvo Penta MD7A engine, which was overhauled by professionals last year.

There is also an autopilot on the boat. It’s great. Especially in combination with the lines in the cockpit, as well as the self-tacking jib on the furler, it’s easy to cope with such a setup alone.

Albin Accent sailboat for 3160 EUR!

Friends, today we’re reviewing an Albin Accent sailboat for 3160 EUR!

📍Location: Sweden, Haninge

Length: 8 meters
Beam: 2.8 meters
Draft: 1.54 meters
Berths: 4–5 (depending on height)
Toilet: yes
Galley: yes

The price is slightly above average for Swedish listings, but that’s due to the many upgrades and the overall great condition of the boat.

One family has owned it for the past 8 years. Based on the announcement, they’ve had many adventures and explored the Baltic Sea thoroughly 🙂 Now their family is growing, so they need a bigger boat.

You can clearly see the boat was well-loved and had money invested into upgrades — probably worth more than the boat herself.

The mainsail (dacron) was purchased in 2019. It has lazy bag and lazy jacks (not mentioned in the ad but visible in the photos), a Genoa 1 on a Furlex, a symmetrical spinnaker in good condition.

The sprayhood was updated in 2024.

Other great features:
Simrad TP10 autopilot (2023), depth sounder, compass, GPS plotter with Stockholm archipelago charts, 2 x 25W solar panels (2023), 10A MPPT solar regulator (2020), charging station with USB and cigarette lighter socket, 2 x Bruce anchors, etc.

In the galley, there’s a fresh energy-efficient compressor fridge (2022) and a gas stove. Electric sea and freshwater pumps.

Toilet has a holding tank and deck pump-out fitting.

The boat comes with 4 struts and a winter storage tent.

I’d say this boat is fully loaded. Not many owners are willing to invest so much in a budget-friendly sailboat.

I’d probably refresh the cushions and do some light woodwork inside to make it look newer. Other than that, this is a dream — especially for one just starting sailing.

Tur 84 with new sails for only 4500 euros!

Friends, today we have a well-maintained Tur 84 with new sails for only 4500 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.35 meters
Beam: 2.60 meters
Draft: 1.35 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A safe and well-maintained family boat with a lot of storage space. There are only three owners in the entire history.

The boat has everything for comfortable long voyages. A fresh water tank, a refrigerator with a freezer, a toilet with a septic tank and a pumping neck. Additional thermal insulation has been made. The equipment includes a GPS navigator and an echo sounder.

Two house batteries and one starter battery. There are solar panels and shore power. This setup is enough for all consumers and even a refrigerator.

The original Yanmar YSB-8 engine has been maintained well throughout its ownership history and runs like clockwork with low consumption.

The sails are quite fresh: the 2019 mainsail with a cover, the 2020 staysail with a furler and a gennaker with a sock. There is also a spare older genoa.

Sunwind 26 with an inboard engine for only 4300 euros!

Friends, today we have a well-maintained Sunwind 26 with an inboard engine for only 4300 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.80 meters
Beam: 2.60 meters
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A very well-looked-after boat with everything you need to sail.

The boat has been owned by one family for the last 20 years. The interior is clean and tidy. The cushions look good.

There is a galley with a gas stove and a sink with fresh and seawater. The water supply is 76 liters, which is quite good for a small boat.

The diesel heater panel is visible in the photo. Even if it doesn’t work, the fact that it has already been installed is half the work. You can always simply replace the module itself, which is not so expensive.

Good sailing inventory: mainsail, genoa, staysail and spinnaker with boom. The sails look like new in the photo.

The boat has an original Volvo Penta MD5A inboard engine. This is a fairly reliable unit if it is properly maintained.

The sprayhood has been sewn. There is a swimming ladder at the stern.

There is no information about the devices. The photo shows a display in the cockpit, perhaps there is an echo sounder. There is also a new Silva compass and VHF.

You can pick up shore storage cradles with the boat. People usually don’t think about their availability until it’s time to lift the boat.
