Friends, today we have a Kirie 23 with a 27hp Solé Diesel MINI-29 engine for just 5000 euro!

Location: France

Length: 7.0 meters
Width: 2.5 meters
Draft: 1.05 meters
Beds: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available (bio)

This boat is a motorsailer, that is, a motor vessel on which a mast and sails are installed. A quite powerful 27hp diesel engine is installed. For convenience, there is a stationary hard spray hood (possibly complete with a closed aft tent), where you will feel more comfortable in bad weather.

Engine: spanish Solé Diesel MINI-29 27hp has an operating time of only 10 hours. This is a new diesel that you can rely on and with which you will not have any problems in the foreseeable future, you only need to carry out service once a season.

The set of sails is small: a mainsail and a genoa on a furler, but they says nothing about its condition.

Equipment: compass, VHF radio, shore power, navigation lights, start and service batteries, battery charger. Control of the yacht by means of the helm.

The mooring equipment includes an anchor, a manual anchor winch, fenders, mooring lines and a mooring hook.

Fuel and water tanks, septic tank, bilge pump and a small swim platform.
The kitchen has a gas stove and sink with a tap.

Despite the fact that the boat has a brand new engine, and the interior looks neat in the photo, the description says that the boat needs repair. I would contact the owner and specify which units require repair, as well as detailed photos of problem areas. Then, when buying, it will be possible to bargain in detail!

Friends, today we have a Carter 30 with a 20 hp Volvo D120 engine (2007) for only 6000 euro!

Location: Great Britain

Length: 9.0 meters
Width: 3.0 meters
Draft: 1.68 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available
Ceiling height: 1.80 meters

This yacht is attractive due to the presence of expensive equipment and an almost new engine, while it is sold at a relatively low price!

The owner explained that the price is low because the boat requires some cosmetic job (in my opinion, this work will take 3 or 4days: seal up and cover cracks with gelcoat in some places, change the deck hatch gaskets).

The 2007 Volvo D120 has an operating time of only 400 hours!

Sails and rigging: mainsail and genoa with the furler, two new winches, updated running rigging.

Equipment: GPS-plotter, compass, depth sounder, tiller pilot, VHF radio, barometer, passive reflector (radar reflector), lazy bag and sprayhood.

Electrics: solar panel, 12v alternator charging, shore power, lead navigation and interior lights.

Mooring equipment: Danforth anchor with a manual windlass deck mounted, chain 40 meters, fenders, mooring lines and so on.

Galley: a gas stove with 2 burners and an oven, water tap (supplied by foot pump).

A separate toilet with sink, it is quite spacious.

A 57-liters water tank, a 38-liters fuel tank.

The sailboat is on the shore currently, and the mast is stored separately – it is convenient for inspection, repair and preparation of the boat.

They were definitely engaged in the boat and invested money, because they will not put a new engine on a bad boat!

Friends, today we have a Trident 80 with a fresh 15hp NANNI engine for 9500 euro!

Location: France

Length: 8 meters
Width: 2.92 meters
Precipitation: 1.6 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The yacht is in very good condition both externally and technically. A big plus is that it’s already in the Mediterranean with a pre-paid docking place.

The galley has a large sink with fresh water under pressure and a 120-liter tank, a gas stove with four hotplates and a microwave.

Genoa with the furler and the mainsail are in good condition. There is a bimini in the cockpit, which is quite rare for boats with a length of 8 meters. There is a swim ladder at the stern.

In 2020, the underwater part was cleaned. Navigation lights have been replaced with LED lights, which has a positive effect on electricity consumption. Two new batteries (starting and service) with a 3-year warranty and two generators that allow you to quickly replenish their stock.

The NANNI 2.60H 15 hp engine was completely rebuilt in 2021 and has an operating time of only 1140 engine hours.

The boat also has all the necessary equipment: a VHF radio station, a new echo sounder 2021, an autopilot 2020, a new anchor of 10 kg, 25 meters of anchor chain and much more.

I guess that this is a very profitable offer, which is called “turnkey”, because of the location, a large amount of updates and the condition of the boat in general.

Friends! Today we have a Custom Baltic Navigator with a 10hp SAAB GG inboard engine for only 6900 euro!

Location: Netherlands

Length: 8.3 meters
Width: 2.65 meters
Number of beds: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The Custom Baltic Navigator is a sturdy 8.3 m long steel vessel with an excellent hull and a well-maintained interior.

The boat has a 10hp SAAB outboard engine, which in most cases is quite enough for such a length.

The staysail has a furler. The set includes at least a mainsail and a staysail, the availability of other sails should be checked. The sails are in excellent condition and both have UV protection covers.

The boat is well-equipped. There’s a Raymarine GPS navigator, VHF radio station, log and echo sounder, battery chargers, Waeco refrigerator, Wallas Marin heater. The owner has invested in the equipment, which will be a plus for both ownership and subsequent sale.

New cushions for sitting, updated cushions and mattresses in the interior, two new detachable tables for the mess room and cockpit, spray hood, pumping latrine, 100 l water tank, 60 l fuel tank.

The main plus of this boat is that the owner handled the boat with care. The hull and the interior are in excellent, tidy condition. The wood is as good as new. The covers are on the sails, the photo shows the respect for every little thing. The boat, with this attitude, is most likely really in excellent condition. In addition, the owner sells it because of emigration to another country. The price is 6900 euro and most likely it can be reduced even more due to the need to sell it quickly.

Friends! Today we have an unusual mahogany sailboat Malar 30 (1937) for 8500 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 11.55 meters
Width: 2.04 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Kitchen (galley): no data
Toilet: (head): no data

To be honest, I think this is the most impractical purchase that can be, but nevertheless I want to show you this boat.

This is a 38-foot wooden sailboat with a width of 2 meters, minimum space inside, low ceiling, and a huge amount of work annually.

This is a specific sailboat that is made for racing in skerries. It behaves extremely uncomfortable on a big wave, but in the absence of a wave it goes very fast and driving.

This boat is like an expensive toy. Attention will be provided, everyone will want to take a picture, they will clap you on the shoulder and say what good fellows you are, but personally I don’t see any point in that.

The sailboat was restored and completed in 2006, so all the equipment is quite fresh.

There is definitely a VHF radio station, a GPS navigator, an outboard engine, classic staysail setting, updated mast and boom and a whole set of mooring equipment. The seller says that there is more equipment and he is ready to send the list.

The boat certainly looks great, such a classic is a classic. Remember that such boats are completely illiquid and very difficult to sell. The space inside is comparable to a boat for 1000 euro and the annual maintenance costs will be more than 5000 euro.

Friends, today we have a Johnson 26 with Volvo Penta MD2010 engine 2003 for 6,900 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.95 meters
Width: 2.95 meters
Draft: 1.45 meters
Engine: inboard
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available
Berths: 6

Johnson 26 is an interesting sailboat with an incredibly large interior space for this size.

The length is 7.95 meters, which gives the lowest mooring fees in marinas.
The width is 2.95 meters, which gives comfort almost like on a 32-feet yacht.

A new Volvo Penta MD2010 engine was installed on the boat in 2003, and a folding propeller was also installed.

I think this engine will work for several more decades, most likely there are no more than 1,500 engine hours (i.e. probably no more than 15-20 percent of the engine resource is used).

The price also includes a set of sails (a mainsail, a genoa, a storm jib, a spinnaker). Among the equipment are: a fully equipped kitchen with a stove and a large sink, a 70 l fresh water tank, solar panels, 2 anchors, navigation lights, a swimming ladder and so on.

An autopilot and GPS are sold at an additional 600 euro fee (I think you can take it for at least 500 euro or even agree that it will be included in total price).

Plastic and wood look good, the engine is relatively fresh, the yacht was watched and invested. Unfortunately, there is no furling, but this is even good in some ways, the classical setting of sails is considered more reliable.

In the Mediterranean area, this sailboat will cost about 12000 – 15000 euro. This can be a very profitable purchase.

Friends, today we have an Allegro 27 with an original Volvo Penta MD7 engine (11 hp) for 5000 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.3 meters
Width: 2.75 meters
Draft: 1.25 meters
Engine: inboard
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available
Berths: 4

Allegro 27 is an excellent long-keeled cruising sailboat in the segment of 27-32 ft up to 10,000 euros. A good alternative to Albin Vega.

It is equipped with MD-7 Volvo Penta 11 hp engine with dual-circuit cooling. The engine is original, old, personally it confuses me, but if you are quite good about the engines – this could be a good option.

In addition, the price includes the following equipment: a full set of sails (mainsail and genoa), VHS radio, an autopilot, 2 anchors, kitchen, toilet and much more.

At the same time, the width is big enough for this size (2.75 meters), and the width always gives space and comfort.

If you prepare this sailboat, then you can even go around the world on it. Allegro 27 has a whaleboat stern, which means that on passing courses it is controlled much better because the incoming wave is cut by the whaleboat stern almost like a nose.

Among the disadvantages of the whaleboat stern is a smaller space in the cockpit, and if necessary, it is much more difficult to put an outboard engine instead of the inboard one, you need to make a special transom.
