Friends, today we have one more Beneteau Baroudeur mk2 with an updated YANMAR 18 hp engine for only 3300 euro!

Location: France

Length: 6.80 meters
Width: 2.49 meters
Draft: 1.05 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

According to the seller, the motor YANMAR 18 h. from 2000 was regularly serviced with an official representative. There’re 515 motorhours on the counter confirmed by service marks. The engine is almost new in terms of resource.

There’s a jib furler, mainsail, genoa, storm staysail.

Unfortunately, there’s no equipment list but it’s clear that there’s an anchor winch, refrigerator, gas stove, mooring equipment, etc.

The last Beneteau Baroudeur mk2 seemed to me more interesting. However, this one costs almost 2 times cheaper! Considering the price this is a very, very nice option.

Friends, today we have JEANNEAU Brio with a 7.5 h.p. outboard motor for 3700 euro!

Location: France

Length: 6.6 meters
Width: 2.50 meters
Draft: 1.1 meters
Motor: outboard 7.5 h.p.
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

The boat is just like a spaceship! 🙂 It looks extraordinary so attention is guaranteed.

The sailboat is small but spacious enough. It’ll be good for coastal weekend trips.

The sails are fresh and have UV protection. The sailboat was used only in fresh water on the lake.

The outboard engine is quite powerful for this size. The attachment point is on the transom.

There’s a music system, a kitchen with new gas equipment, a complete set of mooring equipment, fenders, mooring lines, etc.

This sailboat is a trailer size and it would probably be a mistake to go a long journey on it. It’s great to start learning sailing on it. Everything is very cheap starting with spare parts and ending with mooring. You can lift it with any crane and it will also be easier and cheaper.

I would also try to bargain with the seller and may turn out just great 🙂

Hey guys! Kelt 8 today with a renewed inboard motor Nanni 10 h.p. (2008) for only 5 000 euro!

Location: France

Hull length: 8.00 meters
Width: 2.98 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Motor Nanni 10 h.p. was in usage for only 400 hours. Essentially this is almost the new one, it was hardly used which means that it will work for a long time, you will only need to do periodic services. Most likely you will not have to do any serious repairs.

Plastic and wood look good. The seller wrote that this sailboat is ready for sailing and doesn’t need repairs. There’s a jib furler, all the ropes go to the cockpit, the mainsail cover is also included.

There are a few words about the equipment, so better request the whole list. There are two solar panels, radio station, autopilot, mooring equipment, fenders, anchor, ropes.

Hey friends! Today we have an almost 10 meters ketch with an inboard motor Yanmar for 5 000 euro!

Location: France, Bay of Biscay

Hull length: 9.80 meters
Width: 3.04 meters
Draft: 1.75 meters

Some works are certainly needed but this is a ketch with a long keel, hung rudder, its length is very close to 10 meters, and you can buy this all for 5000 euro only! This sailboat can become a world cruiser.

Just take a look – it’s like a ship from pirate films 🙂

Unfortunately the seller didn’t write any info about the equipment but I think all the equipment aboard will become yours.

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.
