Friends, today we have a Willing 31 with a Volvo Penta engine for 7800 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.45 meters
Beam: 3.12 meters
Draft: 1.60 meters
Sleeping places: 9
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A good boat with a lot of sleeping places due to additional bunks along the sides. The headroom in the cabin is 180 cm, which is pretty good.

The interior looks clean and well-maintained.

The owner is selling the boat due to lack of time. Many basic works have already been done.

The standing rigging was checked in 2023. The entire running rigging has been updated. All seacocks were replaced in 2023. The bottom is prepared for a new antifouling.

There is a galley with everything you need for cooking. There is also a BBQ grill on the stern.

A complete set of sails: mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furling. The sails are in good condition. A spinnaker boom is also visible in the photo, perhaps there is a spinnaker itself.

The boat is equipped with a Volvo Penta MD2030 diesel engine with a power of 29 hp. In 2023, the engine was completely repaired, a new propeller and a saildrive were installed.

3 new batteries were purchased. There is a solar panel. An autopilot was installed.

The boat is completely covered with teak. Wood requires repair or replacement in places. You need to watch it live.

There is an anchor winch on the bow. There is also an anchor from the stern.

An inflatable boat is visible in the photo. I would try to bargain and take it away too.

Friends, today we have a Winga 29 with new sails and a Volvo Penta engine for 7900 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.60 meters
Beam: 2.70 meters
Draft: 1.65 meters
Sleeps: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A clean and well-maintained boat.

The interior and cushions have been updated. I did this on my Albin Vega and Hallberg-Rassy, and it really added comfort and presentation to the boat. Even the cushions look similar 🙂

The hull looks polished. A new antifouling at the beginning of each season.

The galley has a good alcohol stove and a sink with fresh and seawater. The cabin has a Chinese analogue of Webasto.

A partially dedicated toilet with a new toilet bowl.

The boat has an original Volvo Penta MD7A engine with a power of 13 hp. The ad doesn’t say what condition the engine is in. I recommend checking this information before buying.

There is also a lot of useful equipment on the boat: a B&G chartplotter, a Simrad autopilot, an anemometer, an echo sounder with the fish finder and much more.

Friends, today we have a Fjord 28 CS with almost new Volvo Penta engine for 9400 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.60 meters
Beam: 3.05 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): available
Kitchen (galley): available

An interesting boat. A small but roomy motorsailer. A separate aft cabin and an enclosed pilot house.

The owners are a family of 6 people and they often spend a lot of time on the boat without discomfort.

Despite a relatively short length, you can stand tall in the boat. The height of the cabin is 192 cm, and the height of the toilet is 177 cm.

The interior is worn in places, it can be refreshed a bit, it’s not difficult and not expensive. Brand new cushions.

The galley is equipped with a stove, sink and a large refrigerator.

A good supply of fresh water: 200 liters.

The head is located in a separate room.

Brand new batteries.

A complete set of sails: a mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furling with UV protection.

The boat is equipped with an almost new Volvo Penta D1-20 engine. The engine is only 4 years old. This is a big plus. There is a 140 liter fuel tank.

A chartplotter, a satellite phone and a windex are visible in the photos.

Also, I can see a SUP and a good dinghy with an outboard engine, but they are not mentioned in the ad. I would try to talk to the owner and take them away too.
