In the previous post I showed you FORBAN MK1 and now I present a real mini-cruiser with everything you need for long-term travel and permanent life on a boat.

Though it’s size is small the sailboat has everything for long voyages. Also despite the size there’s already a stationary engine, a double bed, a kitchen, and a toilet. Everything is there! 🙂

Hey guys! Meet Shipman 28 with an inboard motor Yanmar 8 h.p. for 4 800 euro only!

Location: Sweden

Hull length: 8,86 meters
Width: 2,6 meters
Draft: 1,55 meters
Keel: fin
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Original old engine Yanmar 8 h.p. is installed so be ready to the ensuing consequences. Guess it is the only strong disadvantage in this sailboat. I think it was cared a lot and serviced but it is old engine anyway.

The sails are totally new (2020 year), the jib has a furler, autopilot is installed (2020), there are also a fridge, gas stove, water thermometer, echo sounder, speed meter (log-speedometer), new toilet (2020), new cushions and pillows, heater Wallas, folding propeller, 3 batteries (2 service batteries and 1 starter battery, all of them were installed in 2020), electric wiring was totally changed.

The seller can also offer portable solar panels from 2020 at extra charge.

The sailboat looks good, plastic and wood are in good condition.

The previous owner decided to update this sailboat that’s why most of the equipment is from 2020. Finally he decided to change this yacht to a bigger one (this sailboats seems small for all the family, 2 grown-ups and two kids).

This sailboat is now stored on land, you can leave it at the same place till the next season.

Hey friends! Meet Becker 27 with an outboard motor for 4000 euro! (I think you can try to reduce the price to 3000 euro)

Location: Norway

Hull length: 8.12 meters.
Width: 2.64 meters.
Draft: 1.40 meters.
Sleeping places: 4
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

This sailboat has a small cosmetic defect on its bow (you can see it in the photo) but it is inexpensive to remove.

An outboard motor Suzuki has power 15 h.p. It looks good and has power reserve. The motor is 4-stroke, you can control the power from the cockpit like we usually do with the inboard engine (see the pics). Besides, this motor has an electric starter.

The owner didn’t say anything about the sails condition but there are the mainsail, genoa, storm mainsail and spinnaker. I would like to pay your attention to the fact there’s no jib furler cylinder on the photo which means the jib is classic. However, it can be controlled right from the cockpit.

Among the equipment are the autopilot, gas stove, sprayhood, solar panel, water tank (5 litres), electric pomp. What is more, the owner gives the crabbing tackles!

The photos show that the plastic and wood are in good condition. The sailboat looks cared. The cosmetic defect looks like it was a hit with a pier which is not critical. Sailboats like this are light, so hits like that are not dangerous for the hull. The repair in Tunisia will cost about 50 euro 🙂

The owner wrote that bargaining is welcome, so bargain! I guess you can easily lop 1000 euro off the price.

The yacht itself looks cool, lots of equipment and it was invested for sure 🙂

Hi everyone! Meet Compis 28 with motor Yanmar 8 h.p. It’s 4 700 euro only!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.56 meters
Width: 2.84 meters
Draft: 1.51 meters
Motor: inboard
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

The motor is equipped with an old engine, so it needs more attention while checking the boat’s condition. Besides, it’s 8 h.p. only, it’s rather low-power. But if doesn’t confuse you — go ahead 🙂

Plastic and wood look perfect, obviously this yacht was cared for a lot.

Sails are in good condition, there’s a lazy jack, a genoa furler, solar panel, baby stay, sprayhood covers in good condition, portative radio station, GPS navigator, batteries (were bought in 2018), spirit oven and some more equipment that wasn’t mentioned in the ad. It is also said there are plenty of ropes.

The seller wrote that he already paid for winter mooring, so you can easily leave the boat there till the spring.

Hi friends! Meet Ohlson 29 with an inboard motor — 3 800 euro only!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.8 meters
Width: 2.7 meters
Draft: 1.58 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Motor Volvo Penta MD6A 10 h.p. is original. The sails are almost new, full sails set is included.

The owner didn’t list too much equipment. Apart from usual equipment there are a second fridge, a charger, 2 batteries 120 and 70 Ah, a swim ladder and a heater that needs some repair.

Among the disadvantages: you should check the complete set, what’s with the autopilot, how does it all work (radio station, navigation lights and the motor). Mostly the sellers do not mention it because this all works good but who knows.

Inner height is 182 cm by the way, really comfortable for its size.

Guys! Today we’ve got Comfort 30 with Yanmar YSB 8 motor only for 4700 euro!

Location: Sweden
Hull length: 9.09 m
Width: 3.03 m
Draft: 1.68 m
Keel: fin
Sleeping places: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

This is an equipped sailboat, but there is little information in the ad. The inboard engine is original, there is a genoa roller, UV protection, a new sprayhood, a septic tank, a gas stove, a diesel heater, a dinghy, tarpaulin for winter moorings, mooring equipment, etc.

Wood and plastic look good, this is a very good deal for this price. Of course, I would carefully check the engine as it brings up the most questions but if everything is fine with it, then this is an excellent option of a fairly large yacht for relatively little money.

Hi! Comfort 30 today with inboard motor Yanmar — € 5 000 only!

Location: Norway

Hull length: 9.09 meters
Width: 3.03 meters
Draft: 1.68 meters
Keel: fin
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Looks really good: plastic is in good condition, wood seems to be in good condition, fresh teak in the cockpit, new cabin floor, fresh genoa roller, sails, cockpit tent, sails covers, folding propeller and lots of more.

The toilet was replaced, a septic tank was installed also. There are also a gas stove and autopilo.

Equipment description is small (I think, the owner just didn’t mention all the staff, the swedes and the norwegians usually sell the yacht with all the onboard equipment including the dishes, the tools, the parts and the bedclothes).

One huge disadvantage is the old engine, wait for it to flake out though the owner says it works good. If you can manage the motors — it is a good and inexpensive option.
