Category: Sailboats from 5,000 to 10,000 euros

Friends, today we have a classic sailing boat — Ballerina for 8800 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 10.36 meters
Beam: 2.30 meters
Draft: 1.5 meters
Berths: 4
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

An unusual sailing boat, completely, made of mahogany. Just imagine the amount of mahogany there!

The owner is willing to lower the price for a quick sale. Perhaps among my followers, there are enthusiasts of old classic wooden boats.

There aren’t many photos, but they show that the wood is in good condition. The owner has taken good care of the boat and put heart and effort into its maintenance.

Ballerina sailboat is easy to handle solo, and the owner says she performs well on archipelago voyages (and attracts lots of attention for sure!).

The boat is maneuverable and well-balanced. It has a sturdy construction built to withstand long-term use.

The sail wardrobe is fairly standard for such a boat: a classic genoa without a roller, a classic mainsail.

The yacht has a toilet with a septic tank, located in the forward cabin 🙂

There is also a galley on board, but the owner did not specify its equipment.

There is an engine: Wire, 12 hp.

I wanted to show you what unusual boat models are available on the Swedish market. Of course, this boat is not intended for long voyages and may not be suitable for everyone.

Friends, today we have an interesting 39-foot sailboat – Colin Archer for 8650 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 11.88 meters
Beam: 4.00 meters
Draft: 2.00 meters
Berths: 6
Toilet: Yes
Galley: Yes

This boat is being sold as a project. The boat has been owned by one family since 1974, and they would like to sell it to someone who will continue its maritime history.

It is a traditional classic Norwegian sailing vessel, and if the owner has not made any changes to the hull, it is likely made of wood, which will require a lot of investment. The original ad does not have much information, so it’s worth clarifying before making a purchase.

The sails wardrobe includes: a classic mainsail with a cover and a classic staysail. The wooden mast and boom will also require financial investment.

Unfortunately, there are no interior photos in the original ad. The head is equipped with an electric toilet.

The galley has 2 refrigerators.

The boat is equipped with a Bedford engine with 98 hp.

Additional features include: a chartplotter, VHF radio, hot water, and a diesel heater. Fuel and freshwater tanks are each 200 liters.

Friends, today we have a Scanmar 31 with a Volvo Penta engine for only 8200 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.40 meters
Beam: 3.00 meters
Draft: 1.65 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

This model gives the feeling of a much larger boat than it actually is, due to a 3-meter width and separate bathroom.

For winter, the yacht is preserved and stored on shore. Since the boat has a fin keel, it’s very important to check the keel and the bottom for damage. It’s convenient to do this while the boat is on shore.

There are very few photos in the ad, but those that are available show that the boat is very well-maintained and in good condition.

The mahogany interior looks good. The hatches look new. Good cushions.

There is a table in the saloon that can be folded into a double bed.

Good sails: a new mainsail and self-tacking staysail on a furling. In winter, the sails are taken out for storage in a warm place.

The boat is equipped with a Volvo Penta 18 hp engine. The ad doesn’t contain information about any engine problems. I recommend checking with the owner when the last service was done.

There is a chartplotter, autopilot and anemometer. There is also a solar panel.

At the stern there is a swimming platform with a telescopic ladder.

The Scanmar is a very high—quality boat, and even on a 31-foot boat, you can feel more confident in harsh weather.

Friends, today we have an Albin Cirrus 78 for 7000 euros!

📍 Location: Norway
Length: 7.98 meters
Beam: 2.70 meters
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeping places: 3
Toilet (head): Yes
Kitchen (galley): Yes

A solid and reliable sailboat perfect for coastal cruising and weekend getaways.

The boat has been well-maintained and is ready for the 2025 sailing season after being polished and antifouled in spring 2024.

It is equipped with a Mercury 5 hp outboard engine, as the inboard Volvo engine requires an overhaul with sail-drive. The boat has been primarily operated with the outboard motor and sails in recent years. While the Mercury outboard is functional, it may be hard to start.

The boat comes with two foresails and a main sail. The sails are still usable, but they could be updated for better performance.

The boat features a well-maintained interior, smart storage solutions, and is equipped with an automatic bilge pump, freshwater tank, and a manual marine toilet.

It also includes Raymarine autopilot, chartplotter, and depth sounder, as well as a VHF radio, LED lights. The boat offers comfort with a sprayhood and cockpit tent.

This Albin Cirrus 78 is perfect for those looking for a solid and affordable sailboat for relaxed cruising and overnight trips.

With all the issues, like the jib without a roller furling, the inboard engine not working, and problems with the outboard, there’s definitely room to negotiate and lower the price a lot.
