Category: Sailboats from 3,000 to 5,000 euros

Friends, today we have a small but very well-maintained Sunwind 26 boat with a stationary Volvo Penta engine for only 3000 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.80 meters
Beam: 2.60 meters
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeps: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

A beautiful and roomy for such size boat of Finnish production. She was very well cared for. Fresh paint. More tight cushions are sewn. Most of the plumbing has been updated.

Galley with two-burner stove and sink. Flexible water tank for 75 liters. New toilet with a new septic tank. All hoses and pumps have been updated.

A complete set of sails: mainsail with lazy jacks, a staysail with a classic setting (no furling), a spinnaker and a spare older staysail.

A working inboard Volvo Penta MD5 engine is installed on the boat. Usually on boats of this type, the engine is removed, and an outboard one is installed, so as not to mess around with repairs. But here the engine is in good working condition, it was always serviced correctly and on time and starts and works without problems.

In addition to a good motor, there is a lot of good equipment on the boat: an autopilot, an echo sounder, a solar panel, a new starter and house battery, two anchors, a heater and much more.

Friends, today we have a Beneteau First 24 with a Yamaha engine for only 3890 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 7.35 meters
Beam: 2.50 meters
Draft: 1.16 meters
Sleeps: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

A fast and simple boat. The owner traveled a lot on it alone, and completely adapted the boat for this. Now he’s selling it to buy a motorhome.

The interior is in good condition. The boat is clean and cozy.

Beneteau First boats have good running characteristics and are quite comfortable at the same time. Galley with stove, sink and 12V refrigerator. The head is located in a separate room. There is a new diesel heater, but it’s not installed (given with the boat).

The boat has a full set of sails: a mainsail with a cover, a genoa on a furling with UV protection (the UV protection is a little tired), a second genoa and a spinnaker. All sails are in good working shape.

Friends, today we have a Bavaria 770 with a Volvo Penta engine for only 4,901 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 7.70 meters
Beam: 2.64 meters
Draft: 1.30 meters
Sleeps: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

Nice and well-maintained boat. The Bavaria brand began to gain its name just from the boats of those years. The Bavaria 770 is everything a 26–foot cruise needs, including a galley and a separate toilet.

All halyards and sheets are brought in the cockpit, which allows you to control the boat alone.

The galley is equipped with a sink, stove and an additional large refrigerator (there is some problem with the compressor). The interior and cushions are in good condition. A spacious manual toilet with a sink in a separate room.

Full set of sails: mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a Furlex furler. The sails are in good working condition.

The boat has an original Volvo Penta MD5 diesel engine with a power of 7 hp. The ad does not say that the engine has any problems. Often on such boats owners take out the inboard engine and put an outboard one, thereby adding useful space. If this is not done here, then perhaps the engine really works without problems.

Deck with non-slip coating. There is a sprayhood and a bathing ladder.

The docking is paid for until June 2023. This allows you to slowly prepare the boat for the journey.

Also on the boat there is a chartplotter, a new autopilot, a new VHF, life jackets, fenders and much more.

Friends, today we have a Maxi 84 with a Volvo Penta engine for only 4998 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.54 meters
Beam: 2.95 meters
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeps: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

A very beautiful and well-maintained Maxi 84 with a lot of upgrades and equipment.

The interior has been redone, and now it is in very good condition. New cushions were sewn.

The galley is equipped on the port side with a new 3-burner stove, an oven with a grill on a gimbal and a sink. A spacious refrigerator is installed on the starboard side. There is a tank with fresh water for 90 liters.

The boat is roomy enough for 28 feet. 8 seats, width of almost 3 meters, the length of the bunks in the forward cabin is 210 cm.

The boat is equipped with a mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furling. The sails are in good working condition.

The boat has an original Volvo Penta MD7 diesel engine with a power of 13 hp. The ad does not say about its condition, but I think it was carried well the same way as the whole boat.

The boat is well-equipped: a sprayhood with awning, nets on the rails, solar panel, bathing platform, cockpit cushions, etc.

Also, there is a dinghy and the outboard motor in the photos. They are not mentioned in the ad, but perhaps the owner simply forgot to specify them.

This sailboat, in my opinion, is an excellent example of how even a small and inexpensive boat can be made comfortable and autonomous. A great option for the first boat for little money.

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.8 meters
Beam: 2.4 meters
Draft: 1.4 meters
Sleeps: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

Cute and well-maintained small yacht. She is perfect for a couple or a small family. The previous owners took good care of it and constantly improved it.

The mahogany interior is in excellent condition. There are new cushions in the salon and in the cabin.

The galley has everything you need for cooking: a stove, a sink and a new ice-box. All necessary kitchen utensils are also given along with the boat.

There is a dining table that can be installed in the salon or in the cockpit.

Good sailing inventory: a mainsail, which has been used for only two seasons, a staysail, genoa 1, genoa 2 and a spinnaker with spinnaker boom.

The original engine was replaced with a fresh 2012 Honda Saildrive with a power of 12 hp. The engine starts and works properly.

The boat also has the following equipment: new solar panels 2021, a house battery 2021, a starter battery 2022, tools, fishing rods, etc.

I like this boat because she’s really the owner’s boat and she was well cared for. This can be seen from the photos and videos that can be viewed on the owner’s Instagram account (I can share the link, DM for that).

Location: Norway

Length: 9.12 meters
Beam: 2.84 meters
Draft: 1.19 meters
Sleeps: 6
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): available

A clean and neat Swedish-made motorsailer. A good option for an unhurried and comfortable rest.

The cockpit smoothly passes into the control room, which makes it feel like a large space that can comfortably accommodate up to eight persons. A full-fledged double cabin in the stern with a locker, shelves and a heater.

The interior is in good condition. The cushions were recently updated.

Galley with stove and sink with fresh and seawater. There is hot water and a 65-liter freshwater tank. The head in a separate room is located just behind the galley on the port side. The dining area folds into a double bed.

A complete set of sails: a mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furling with UV protection. All the sails are in good working condition.

A powerful Volvo Penta MD17 36 hp diesel engine is installed on the boat. The owner says that the engine is fresh, but the number of engine hours is not indicated in the ad. He also says that the engine has never failed him and rides “like a Mercedes” 🙂

Additional equipment: color chartplotter, VHF, compass, ladder for swimming in the stern, stereo system, wind strength and direction meter and much more.

Also, an inflatable boat with a 8hp motor can be given with the boat. The seller wants 500 euros for it, but I would try to bargain and take it with the boat.
