Friends! Today we’ve got a well-kept and season-ready boat — Dufour 30 Classic, for just 21 000 euros!

📍 Location: Norway

Specs:
Length: 9.15 m
Beam: 2.95 m
Draft: 1.75 m
Engine: Volvo Penta MD2020, 19 hp
Fuel tank: 79 L
Water tank: 170 L
Berths: 6

The Dufour 30 Classic is a safe and comfortable boat, perfect for a couple or a small family.

Spacious cockpit, roomy interior, and smart layout. She has a galley with stove, bathroom with shower, a separate forward cabin, and a large double berth in the aft cabin. Webasto heater is installed, though it currently needs servicing.

The sail inventory is solid: mainsail from 2021 with lazy jacks and genoa from 2019 on furler.

There’s also an asymmetric spinnaker and spinnaker pole. All lines are led to the cockpit for easy singlehanded sailing. Equipped with a Raytheon autopilot.

Navigation instruments are on board, but not all are functional — the owner mainly used a tablet with Navionics. Speed and depth sensor is currently not working (possibly due to growth).

Also on board: electric windlass with remote, solar panels, and shore power connection.

Friends! Today we’ve got a true Scandinavian classic — the Norlin 37, available for just 35 400 euros!

Location: Sweden

Specifications:
• Length: 11.03 m
• Beam: 3.60 m
• Draft: 1.98 m
• Displacement: 8,000 kg
• Engine: Volvo Penta D2-55, 55 hp, installed in 2013, only 360 engine hours
• Fuel tank: 90 L
• Water tanks: 2 x 100 L
• Berths: up to 6

The boats look good and well-maintained. In 2011, a Seldén furling mast was added; in 2013, a brand-new engine was installed.

Peter Norlin himself said about this model: “The boat sails well, the balance is perfect, and beating upwind in a blow is a joy in the 37.” And it’s true — she’s stiff, stable, and confidently handles full sail even in tougher conditions.

Equipment highlights:
– Sails: a mainsail and genoa from 2011, plus a spanker and spinnaker pole
– Anchors: 15 kg Bruce anchor forward (with windlass) and another at the stern
– Electronics: Raymarine ST60 suite, Garmin GPSmap 298, autopilot
– Galley: gas stove with oven and fridge
– Heating: Eberspächer diesel heater
– Extras: inflatable dinghy with Honda 2.3 hp outboard, dodger, awning, 3 solar panels, shore power, and more.

Known issues:
– The teak in the cockpit needs some love
– Waste tank should be upgraded with a deck pump-out

Otherwise — the boat is in great shape, well-kept hull, and a cozy interior.

Friends! Today we have a classic — OE36 (Olle Enderlein), for only 15 200 euros!

Location: Sweden

Specifications:
Length: 11.03 m
Beam: 3.13 m
Draft: 1.80 m
Engine: Volvo Penta D2-40, 36.9 hp, 400 hours
Fuel tank: 80 L
Water tank: 120 L
Sleeping places: 6

One of the most interesting boats of its time — durable, marine, elegant. I’m alway pleased to share this finding because I have respected the OE36 for its balanced combination of aesthetics and reliability. The designer is Olle Enderlein, one of the legends of the Swedish school, and in my opinion, these boats are greatly underestimated by the market.

This boat is well maintained: it has a new Volvo Penta D2-40 engine, all electrics have been replaced, new pumps and panels, an automatic pump was added (2024), heating was installed (not used).

The sails are in good condition: a furling genoa and mainsail. Navigation — the owner used an iPad with Navionics, but also has an old Garmin chartplotter.

A set of anchors, tools, filters and spares is available.

There is also an inflatable boat, which adds value to this offer.

Below deck it’s clean and cozy: sleeping places are in the forward cabin, the saloon and a separate bunk. The boat was stored at the shipyard in winter, and little is used during the season — only short daytime trips.

An additional plus is that the boat insurance is paid until 2026.

Friends! Today we’ve got a Marieholm 32 — one of my all-time favorite models — for just 19 300 euros!

Location: Sweden

Specs:
Length: 9.75 m
Beam: 3.00 m
Draft: 1.55 m
Engine: Lombardini LDW 1404, 40 hp, 286 hours
Fuel tank: 40 L
Water tank: 175 L
Berths: 5

I know this model well — my friend sailed a similar boat (the 32E version) from Sweden to Tunisia. Since then, I’ve had a soft spot for Marieholm. By the way, some of the videos in my course were actually filmed on this very boat 🙂

It’s a solid, seaworthy cruiser built by Swedes for serious sailing, with a strong reputation and an active owner community — which means you can always get help from people who know this boat inside and out, if you ever need it.

This particular boat stands out in many ways: the engine is recent and lightly used, and it’s equipped with furlers for both the genoa and gennaker. The navigation setup is upgraded too — a new Garmin GNX suite with a 9” plotter.

She comes with a good sail inventory (including a gennaker and two genoas, one with UV protection), solar panels (one pivoting), bow and stern electric windlasses, Eberspächer heater, 25 L boiler, marine toilet, and a swim platform with ladder.

There’s even a TV on board. Ready to sail off straight away.

The boat is well-maintained, the hull is in excellent condition, and the rig is solid.

Width: 4.50 m

This legendary yacht is a replica of the classic Colin Archer “Vardø” from 1909, built in 1989 in 90% of the original size with an increased headroom inside.

It]s perfect for long-distance sea crossings, and for walks along the fjords.

The hull is fiberglass with Divinycell insulation, which provides warmth and comfort in the cabins. Deck — teak on epoxy plywood and mahogany finish. The mast is made of special pine, all fasteners and useful items are made of stainless steel.

The engine is a recently serviced (2023) Mercedes engine. New batteries.

Friends! Today we have a Bavaria 38 AC for just 58 800 euros!

Location: Norway
Specifications:
Length: 11.75 m
Beam: 3.87 m
Draft: 1.60 m
Engine: Volvo Penta, diesel, 55 hp, inboard
Fuel: approx. 150 L
Water: approx. 300 L
Hull material: fiberglass
Berths: 6
Max speed: 7 knots

A classic Bavaria with spacious interior and a practical layout. The boat has been with the same family since it was purchased in Denmark in 2004 and has crossed many nautical miles along Norwegian routes.

The owner notes that the engine has not been serviced this season and the boat has not been hauled out, so some preparation is needed before the season starts. However, everything is technically functional and the vessel is ready for new adventures.

On board you’ll find all essentials:
— cookware
— tool kit
— anchor winch
— chartplotter
— dinghy with outboard motor, and more

The interior is designed for family cruising — and according to the owners, it’s comfortable for up to five people even for stays lasting four weeks.

Looks like this is a great opportunity for anyone looking for their first larger cruising boat, with real history and solid potential.

Friends! Today we’ve got an Albin Nova 33 for just 17 300 euros!

Location: Norway

Specifications:
Length: 10.00 m
Beam: 3.30 m
Draft: 1.75 m
Engine: Yanmar, diesel, inboard
Fuel: 43 L + 20 L jerry can
Fresh water: 90 L + 20 L jerry can
Holding tank: 42 L
Mast: single spreader
Hull material: fiberglass
Berths: 6
Max speed: 5 knots

This Nova has just completed a North Sea crossing and is performing beautifully. She spent the winter ashore in Guernsey and was given all the care she needed this spring:
— fresh antifouling (June 2025)
— full engine service: oil, filters, impeller

What’s especially nice — she’s ready for the season. Clearly well-maintained, with updated rigging and deck gear, lithium batteries and a solar panel, and refreshed interior and deck finish.

A big plus: a new furling system and halyards, plus a warm, dry, and inviting interior. She comes with a solid set of extras — from a dinghy with outboard to an autopilot and chartplotter.

These boats are valued for their seaworthiness, strong build, and balanced sailing qualities.

Friends! Today we have a good find — Ohlson 29 with a Volvo Penta engine for 11 000 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.84 m
Width: 2.70 m
Draft: 1.70 m
Displacement: 3,300 kg
Sleeps: 5
Engine: Volvo Penta MD6B, 10 hp, diesel
Max. Speed: 6 knots
Body material: Fiberglass
Toilet: yes
Galley: yes

In 2023, the boat underwent a major cosmetic restoration: the hull was completely cleaned, and covered with a new layer of gelcoat. This is not just cosmetics — the new gelcoat protects fiberglass from water and ultraviolet, makes the hull less susceptible to osmosis and visibly refreshes the appearance.

The underwater part has also been updated: two layers of primer and fresh antifouling.

The sails are in order: mainsail, genoa and spinnaker. New UV protection on genoa, new cover for the main. There is a furler — it’s convenient for short transitions and managing alone.

The interior has received new upholstery.

Modern electronics are installed:

— Raymarine Element 9” chartplotter
— New electrical wiring
— New 110 Ah battery
— LED navigation lights
— Stereo system
— New sprayhood
— Echo Sounder

The Volvo Penta engine was serviced in 2023 and is ready for the new season.

A simple, reliable boat in good technical condition is a great start for those who want to go to sea this season without too much hassle. A lot of investments have already been made — all that remains is to use it.
