Friends! Today we have Gib sea 28 with a fresh motor Lombardini diesel (2015, 100 hours only!) for 9000 euro.

Location: France, not far from La Rochelle

Length: 8.5 meters
Width: 3 meters
Draft: 0.9 meters / 1.9 meters
Sleeping placed: 5
Toilet: available
Kitchen (galley): available

This is a sailboat with a lifting keel, there’s a scheme showing how it works. Ballast weight is 1100 kg, i.e. it is a fully-featured keelboat but you can reduce the draft to 0.9 meters.

There’s a canal which I used in 2018 close to this place. You can reach the Mediterranean in 10 days if you choose this cannal.

There’re not too many photos attached but it’s clear that this sailboat is well-cared, the motor is almost brand new, and the interior looks good as well.

There’s a separate toilet, the width is 3 meters which means that it’s rather spacious inside. It will feel like a 32-feet cruiser.

The sails are in good condition, there’s a spinnaker, a jib furler and lazyjack. An echo sounder, fixed VHF station, portative VHF station, toilet, boiler for water heating, 2 batteries (2020), new cushions, life-saving equipment, mooring equipment are also included.

Plastic and wood look good, the new antifouling was made.

Almost nothing is said about the equipment but I think there’s all the necessary staff there. There’s a jib furler, a fridge, a sound system, a compass, mooring equipment, life-saving equipment, etc.

Hey friends! Trio 80 sailboat with a new inboard motor Yanmar 2YM15 for 9800 euro!

Location: Sweden

Hull length: 8 meters
Width: 2.8 meters
Draft: 1.5 meters
Berths: 5
Toilet: available
Kitchen (galley): available

The motor Yanmar 2YM15 was installed in 2014. It is a reliable new motor and it has its own starter battery also. The new electric wiring was also installed on this sailboat.

A jib and a mainsail are in good condition, a sprayhood was updated. There’s a jib furler installed in 2016, all the ropes are managed from the cockpit.

There’s good planning and a separate toilet. New cushions were made in 2020.

A lot of equipment goes together with the sailboat, most of it was updated in 2014. A 50W solar panel with a controller, a new service battery (2020), new fuses and more powerful wires were installed. There’s an electric pump in the toilet (2017), there’s also a holding tank and a necktube for pumping out the septic tank from the deck (a cool add-on), a VHF radio, 200 litres water tank (very cool!), a 35 liters fuel tank, a ladder for coming out of the water, a full set of mooring equipment.

To sum up, there’s lots of equipment and a good reserve for self-sustainability and reliability, especially for this small size.

The sailboat is now on the shore so you can easily check the bottom and organize the load-out after that.

Friends, today we have Allegro 27 with an inboard motor Volvo Penta 2002 for 5500 euro!

Location: Sweden

Hull length: 8.03 meters
Width: 2.76 meters
Draft: 1.25 meters
Cabin height: 1.76 meters
Keel: long
Berths: 5
Toilet: available
Kitchen (galley): available

The motor Volvo Penta 2002 was overhauled in 2006. This motor is reliable but it isn’t new (1989).

Pay attention to the mast, there are stairs attached. They are made for climbing up the mast, this detail is considered for world cruises, i.e. most likely this sailboat was prepared for long passages.

There’s a jib furler, covers for the mainsail and the sprayhood, the kitchen is equipped with a gas stove.

Nothing is said about the equipment so you’d better specify the full list with the owner.

This can appear to be a surprise, you have all chances to get the equipment that costs in total even more than the sailboat itself 🙂

Friends, here’s another Compis 28 with a fresh 2013 Farryman Diesel engine 12 hp for 5800 euro!

Location: Sweden

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

The new 12 hp Farryman Diesel engine from 2013 is definitely a plus. There probably won’t be any problems with spare parts or with the engine’s depleted life. So you will feel more comfortable.

The sailing set is in excellent condition. There’s a genoa furler, a sprayhood from 2019 and a LazyJack was installed in 2020.

The exterior is very attractive: snow-white yacht, good condition of the wood inside. There’s a ladder for getting out of the water at the stern and a bow platform at the front.

As for equipment there’s a spirit stove, a compressor refrigerator for 26 liters, electrical wiring was replaced in 2014, the tiller was replaced in 2015, the Simrad autopilot, GPS Garmin echoMAP 52s (with an echo sounder), an hour meter is installed.

The portholes were updated in 2020. A 50-watt solar panel was installed as well as a solar panel controller. There’s an isolation relay, a 75-Ah starter battery and battery status display.

I like yachts of this size. This is an example of another Compis 28 with a lot of updates. In my opinion, this is a good offer. Such a sailboat is quite easy to maintain and at the same time you have no limits in sailing around the world.

Friends, today we have a Marieholm 28 with a Volvo Penta MD7a motor 13 hp (which was overhauled in 2003) for 7500 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.56 meters
Width: 2.94 meters
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

This is a quite rare model and it even has a steering wheel. Pay attention, there’s an after cabin.

The sailboat is in good condition. However, it’s better to change cushion covers but it’s not expensive, about 150 euros.

The 13hp Volvo Penta MD7a engine was installed after a major overhaul in 2003.

There’re new sails: a mainsail was bought in 2020, a lazy jack, a genoa with UV protection and a genoa furler and a spinnaker that has never been used. Fresh covers and sprayhood.

The boat is well equipped. There’s a spirit stove, a toilet with a holding tank, a GPS navigator (Garmin 520s Log with echo sounder), a swim platform on the stern (from 2020), a bow platform, a compressor refrigerator, a rubber boat with a 2 hp motor, two service batteries of 72 Ah each, 1 starter battery of 85 Ah, a water tank with an electric pump, a full set of mooring equipment, etc.

In my opinion this is a great offer. A great sailboat with a steering wheel, with a lot of equipment, with a good ceiling height and 2 cabins with separate entrances for only 7500 euro.

Guys, today we have Ohlson 8:8 with an updated motor Volvo Penta md2020 for 9400 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.8 meters
Width: 2.85 meters
Cabin height: 1.85 meters
Draft: 1.56 meters
Berths: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Plastic and wood are in perfect condition, clean the teak and it’ll look good, too 🙂 The motor Volvo Penta md2020 is relatively fresh which is also an advantage.

The sails are in good condition, there’s a jib furler and a spinnaker with a spinnaker boom.

The interior was refreshed (the owner wrote that he made new cushions and installed LED lights), there’s a navigator and echo sounder, nose platform, a swim ladder, compressor fridge, a spirit stove with 2 burners, shore power, a full set of mooring equipment (fenders, mooring ropes, sprits, boat tape, anchors, anchor cable, etc.)

In my opinion this offer looks good. You’ll probably have to finish some works first but you’ll receive a rather big and spacious sailboat (the width is 2.85, the ceiling height is1.85).

The motor update is the biggest expenditure; in this sailboat the motor was already replaced with a modern one. There are even more add-ons and updates which cost a lot.

When you buy a sailboat you receive not only the hull, the mast, the motor and sails, you also get lots of equipment which often costs even more than the sailboat itself. Always take it into account to estimate the value of the offer.
