Hey guys! Meet Westerly Centaur with an inboard engine Volvo Penta MD 2010 C BT for only 5 790 euro!

Location: Netherlands

Hull length: 7.92 meters
Width: 2.57 meters
Cabin height: 1.8 meters
Draft: 0,90 meters (bilge keel)
Sleeping place: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

A legendary sailboat, a lot of people like it a lot. The length is under 8 meters, so it falls under the category “up to 8 meters” which means that the mooring fee will be one of the cheapest.

The motor Volvo Penta MD 2010 C Bt (1998) powered 10 h.p. is installed. The consumption is about 1.5 litres per hour, cruise speed is 5 knots.

The sails were replaced in 2017, the jib is with the furler but the UV protection has to be made if your final destination is the Mediterranean sea.

There’s a lot of equipment: autopilot Raymarine ST2001, chartplotter Humminbird 2019, echo sounder, stationary vhf radio station, 2 batteries, anchor, anchor winch and anchor chamber (quite a rare thing for this size!), baby stay, life-saving jear, mooring equipment and so on.

Cabin height is 1.8 meters, most people can stay full length here and avoid bumping up the ceiling, the yacht is rather spacious for its size, you can see it in the photos.

A great option as I see it, the motor was renewed, the sails are fresh, there’s a lot of equipment, besides, it is already in the Netherlands (it is much closer to the Mediterranean in comparison with Sweden)).

Hey guys! Meet Jaguar 27 with an inboard motor Perkins 30 h.p. for 8 500 euro!

Location: Tunisia, Monastir

Hull length: 8.18 meters
Width: 2.69 meters
Draft: 1.32 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

The boat is moored in the same marina as mine 🙂

Motor Perkins 30 h.p. is installed, for this size of boat it is a big reserve power. An outboard motor Suzuki 2.5 h.p. for dinghy is also included.

Sails are in good condition, there is a jib furler but no UV protection, it certainly needs to be done.

There’s quite a lot of equipment, this sailboat had the only owner throughout a long time. There is a radio locator (!), solar panels, navigator, microwave oven, life-saving gear, mooring ropes and so on.

The full list of equipment is better to specify with the seller.

The owner sells this sailboat due to the health condition. The contract with marina is already paid (740 euro per year only!)

This is quite a rare find — a good sailboat in the Mediterranean at a cheap price.
Apparently the pandemic and personal reasons came into play.

At the moment Tunisia is open to the public so you can come there and buy it 🙂

Today we have a 120 year old wooden sailboat with a new 50 h.p. Yanmar inboard engine for only 5 500 euro!

Location: Norway

Hull length: 10.97 meters
Width: 4.00 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

A very unusual offer and an interesting project. If you transform the appearance of the yacht then it will be a wonderful classic sailboat.

The yacht is equipped with a 50 h.p. Yanmar engine but it’s indicated that the engine must be powered.

Nothing is said about the sails and it’s also difficult to define their condition, so it’s better to ask the seller. Most likely the sails are in order as it can be seen that the yacht was equipped before, but not all the work was completed.

Of the disadvantages, of course, wood care. You should understand that on such a yacht, unlike a plastic one, you have to carry out a lot of work every year. Wood in poor condition is replaced with a new one and this process is done every year (so the yacht is 120 years old, and it’s still afloat).

The seller says that they have done a lot of work on the yacht’s hull over the past year and a half, but they have done nothing for the exterior. The previous owner has lived on the yacht for many years, so the interior is prepared for a comfortable life.

An excellent option for those who love unusual yachts, who know how to work with wood, and are interested in getting their hands on it. The cost of such a yacht in excellent condition will be 10-20 times higher!

Today we have a Snipa Brännbacka 29 with a Volvo Penta B20 engine for 9 500 euro!

Location: Sweden

Hull length: 8.8 meters
Width: 2.8 meters
Draft: 0.7 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

I was asked for a long time to post something without a mast, finally I found an interesting option and decided to share it with you.

The vessel has two cabins with separate entrances. Plastic, wood, and the general condition is good. There is a swimming platform, a cockpit tent, a GPS navigator, an echo sounder, a headlight, a steering wheel (!), a compass, an anchor, mooring ropes and other equipment.

The boat is perfect for canals, rivers and the sea.

I certainly prefer sailing yachts, but if you choose a vessel for rivers, or canals, or maybe for business, then this one is for you.

Friends! Today we are going to have a Marieholm 32 with a Volvo Penta MD11 engine for only 6 000 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.56 meters
Width: 3 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Keel type: long, full
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

First of all, I would like to say that this is already a full-fledged long-keel cruiser for long-distance travel.

On such a yacht, you can go on a round-the-world trip without any problems, of course it will require some preparation but this is no longer a gamble, but a completely reasonable plan.

The Volvo Penta MD11 engine has been repaired and judging by the announcement it is in good condition. There is an autopilot, GPS navigator, a staysail twist, sails with UV protection, a bow platform with a stationary anchor on the bow (this is very convenient), mooring ropes and other equipment.

The only thing that confuses me is the old engine but if that doesn’t bother you, then 6000 euros for such a yacht is a very cool offer!

This yacht is a good choice for those who are looking for an inexpensive yet seaworthy and reliable offshore cruiser.

Hi everyone! We have Bumerang 32 today (inboard motor Yanmar YSM8 and 9 500 euro only!)

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.73 meters
Width: about 3 meters (no precise info)
Draft: 1.62 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

This is a sailboat with a fin keel, I think it’s worth to check the condition of the pins and to ask the owner how long ago he changed it.

The motor is inboard, it is the original Yanmar YSM8.

There’s also some info about the sails in the ad: 2 mainsails (likely the new one and the old one), relatively fresh genoa with the furler, a spinnaker, besides, al the wires run to the cockpit.

2 batteries were installed in 2014, there’s also a gas stove with 3 burners, baking oven and leakage detector, compressor fridge, heater, cockpit tent, fire extinguisher, swim platform, mooring ropes, fenders, anchor and much more equipment.

Friends, let’s get acquainted with the Alo Mikkel 30 with refreshed inboard engine Volvo Penta D1-20 (2007 year) for 5 600 euro.

Location: Norway

Hull length: 9.1 meters
Width: 3.05 meters
Draft: 1.7 meters
Keel: fin
Sleeping places: 5
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Lots of updates, it’s apparent that it was cared for and invested a lot.

The motor was replaced to Volvo Penta D1-20 in 2007. At this moment it worked for about 500 hours.

New 55 liters fuel tank was installed in 2018, battery power display (2018), new accumulator (2019), new charger (2019), onboard power 200V, autopilot, septic tank, wind generator, sails in good condition, new spinnaker, mooring ropes.

Bottom is covered with antifouling but maybe it’s time to refresh it. There are also LED lights included but they are not installed yet.

On the whole looks like a cool offer though there’s lack of info about this model on the internet.

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.
