Location: Norway

Length: 9.33 m
Width: 2.76 m
Draft: 1.80 m
Displacement: 3,300 kg
Ballast: 1,650 kg
Headboard: there is
Galley: yes
Fresh water supply: about 100 liters

Sails: classic masthead sloop with a total area of about 34 m2. The set includes a mainsail and genoa — everything you need for sailing. The rigging is simple, intuitive, and easy to operate alone.

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.
