Category: Sailboats l more expensive than 10,000 euros

Friends, today we have a Watkins 36 with a brand new Solé Mini engine (only 4 hours) and fresh sails for 64 000 euros!

Location: Portugal

Length: 10.97 meters
Beam: 3.30 meters
Draft: 1.60 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Again the heading «a yacht for circumnavigation». Watkins 36 is a reliable and durable boat with a long keel.

The boat is being compared to the more affordable version of the Island Packet, Najad or Pacific Seacraft.

The teak interior looks very beautiful. The boat is clearly after refit and looks quite modern and tasteful.

A good headroom is as much as 2 meters. A galley with everything you need. Toilet with shower with access from the salon and forward cabin.

Very good autonomy due to the 870 Ah battery bank and solar panels.

A complete set of fresh sails: a mainsail with a patent reef, a genoa on a furler and a gennaker. The sails are in excellent condition.

In July 2024, a completely new 55 hp Solé Mini engine was installed with a running time of only 4 hours. A new engine is always good. Maybe it’s even under warranty.

There is a davit at the stern for storing the dinghy. A dinghy with a motor is also included in the price.

The boat is full of useful equipment: chartplotter, autopilot, echo sounder, anemometer, VHF and more.

The photo shows a life raft, but the date of service is unknown.

Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy Monsun 31 with a fresh Nanni engine and lots of upgrades for 23 300 euros!

Location: Caribbean Islands

Length: 9.37 meters
Beam: 2.87 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

The legendary boat that sailed to the Caribbean from Norway. I believe that a boat that has crossed the Atlantic is always a worthy offer. Of course, something is bound to break in such a transition, but this is the consumable part. And a good shipowner is likely to replace it immediately.

All standing rigging has been checked. Lithium house batteries and a new starter one.

The interior is in good condition. New cushions. The upholstery needs to be repaired in places — this is not critical. There is a new refrigerator in the galley, but it has stopped functioning.

A new toilet with a septic tank with a chopper.

New sails: a new mainsail with a new lazy bag, a new genacker with a sock, and genoa on the furler.

The boat is equipped with a 2015 Nanni N3.30 engine with an operating time of 2500 operating hours.

The teak deck was also renovated in 2024. There is an anchor with an anchor winch on the bow. The new sprayhood has been sewn.

There is a life raft, but it needs to be activated. There is also a wind autopilot on the boat, which greatly facilitates life on long ocean crossings and allows you not to consume electricity. Such a device is quite expensive — up to 5,000 euros.

There is a dinghy with an outboard, which is a plus.

The boat also has a lot of useful equipment: echo sounder, anemometer, VHF with AIS, compass and more.

Friends, today we have a Boström 31 MK2 with a Yanmar engine for 4500 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.33 meters
Beam: 2.76 meters
Draft: 1.80 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

An interesting offer. The boat is a semi-project that the owner didn’t manage to complete. Nevertheless, the boat is ready to go to sea, and the remaining amount of work is cosmetic in fact.

It seems to me that this is a great opportunity to get a good and inexpensive boat for the new season.

All the seacocks have been replaced — this is important. The standing rigging was checked. The entire running rigging was replaced with a new one. The diesel tank is cleaned.

New electrics.

The original Yanmar engine, according to the owner, works well and has never failed. This is an old engine, and I recommend checking it out thoroughly.

A complete set of recently repaired sails in very good condition. A mainsail with a patent-reef and a staysail on a furler.

Inside, the boat requires love and attention. The wood needs to be sanded and painted. You can update the cushions.

The owner installed a new toilet and septic tank with a chopper.

A new Raymarine autopilot with transmission directly to the rudder stock is also installed.

The boat is located in the Caribbean and was well prepared for the transatlantic crossing.

A good set of solar panels (2023) with MPPT controllers were installed. New starting and house batteries.

The interior is in good condition. The wood is worn in places, but in general it’s not scary.

The galley was updated. New stove with oven, pressurized water, refrigerator with freezer. A smoke and CO2 detectors are installed.

Dinghy with an outboards are also included in the price.

There is a lot of useful equipment: chartplotter, autopilot, radar, VHF, echo sounder, AIS and more.

Friends, today we have a boat for circumnavigation – RPD Nelson 46 with Yanmar engine for 65 000 euros!

Location: Italy

Length: 13.85 meters
Beam: 3.84 meters
Draft: 2.00 meters
Sleeping places: 12
Toilet (head): 2
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

An interesting and updated boat. It’s well-equipped and autonomous enough for circumnavigation or year-round live onboard.

In 2022, there was a huge refit and the boat received an updated interior and a brand-new kitchen with a more modern design.

The entire underwater part, including the keel and rudder, was sanded and repainted.

Very high autonomy due to new 1200W solar panels, a large group of fresh batteries (1-3 years old) and a powerful inverter. The solar panels are installed in the most correct way, in my opinion, on the arch.

Fairly fresh sails: genoa on a furling (4 years old) and a mainsail (5 years old). Most of the running rigging was replaced two years ago.

The Yanmar engine is fully serviced and works like clockwork.

Since the owner traveled by boat all the time, there are a lot of tools, spare parts, fishing accessories and even diving equipment on it. There is a dishwasher.

There is also a lot of equipment on the boat: chartplotter, autopilot, wind autopilot, echo sounder with the fishfinder, EPIRB, life raft and much more.

Friends, today we have a C&C 38 with an updated Yanmar engine and fresh sails for only 15 000 euros!

Location: Netherlands

Length: 11.45 meters
Beam: 3.71 meters
Draft: 1.96 meters
Sleeping places: 8
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes
Shower: yes

It’s a good Canadian-made boat. These boats are quite rare in the European market.

The price looks very attractive for a 38-ft yacht.

The interior looks good. The cushions in the salon and cabins look like new. I like the solution with additional sleeping places in the salon, located along the sides.

There is a new diesel heater.

Fully dedicated toilet with shower. There is also a shower in the cockpit.

New sails: the 2020 mainsail and the 2022 genoa. There are also two additional genoas 2018 and 2000.
The sails are stored in UV protection covers. New running rigging in 2023. The sheets and halyards are brought into the cockpit.

In the original, these boats were equipped with an Atomic 4 gasoline engine. The original engine was replaced by a Yanmar 3GM30F diesel engine.

The deck is covered with a non-slip coating. Lots of winches. It looks like the hatches have been replaced.

There is an anchor winch on the bow. It’s good. Lifting an anchor chain for a boat of this size manually is very difficult.
