Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus Ketch with an updated Yanmar engine and new sails for 30 700 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 10.55 meters
Beam: 3.05 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

A very beautiful boat that is being sold by a guy who has a blog on YouTube. To be honest, I haven’t watched his videos, but there is a link to his channel in the ad.

However, I see that the boat is very well-maintained and updated.

Firstly, it immediately strikes that the interior has been redesigned. The owner managed to avoid the “IKEA” effect. The boat turned out to be very cozy.

A brand new galley with new stove, plumbing and a roomy refrigerator. All hatches and portholes have been replaced. New seacocks.

There is a separate aft cabin. Fully dedicated toilet with electric flush, septic tank and new plumbing.

The sails are brand new: a staysail with UV protection, a mainsail and a mizzen. There are covers for the last two.

The Yanmar 55 hp 2000 engine was overhauled in 2023, and runs like clockwork.

There is also a wind autopilot (this is a fairly expensive device ~ 5K euros), a chartplotter, solar panels, an anemometer, compass, a new life raft, life jackets and much more.

Friends, today we have a Hanse 388 with a Yanmar engine for 195 000 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 11.41 meters
Beam: 3.90 meters
Draft: 2.06 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Usually I don’t do reviews on such boats, but I decided to make an exception. This is 2019 yacht, and it has been in the hands of one family. It can be seen that the boat has never been chartered and its condition is close to ideal.

An important thing is that the boats of 2019 are often found in a new condition. They had been bought, but when the pandemic began, sailing ended almost all over the world, and the owners lost interest over time due to they can’t sail, but have to pay the mooring fee.

There is also exactly the same Hanse in our marina, and the owner is very happy with the boat, travels a lot and participates in competitions.

This boat has an extended package of additional options. Improved oak interior finish. Lithium batteries with smart charging. Bow thruster with a separate battery.

Yanmar 3JH5E engine with a power of 39 hp is installed.

The deck made of natural teak looks very beautiful.

Two steering wheels. A good chartplotter in the cockpit with all the necessary instruments.

Many complain about the quality of Hanse fittings (for example, door locks quickly fail, etc.). Judging by the ad, the owner has eliminated these disadvantages.

A complete set of new sails, including even Code0. There is a lazy bag. The self-tacking staysail is on the furling.

A new cockpit tent has been sewn, in which you can stand up to your full height.

Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy Monsun with an updated Volvo Penta MD2030 engine and a bow-thruster for 21 900 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.37 meters
Beam: 2.87 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

Very beautiful and well-maintained Monsun 31. It can be seen that the boat is owned by an experienced sailor who not only traveled on it, but also managed to participate in competitions on it and take prizes (judging by the photos with diplomas).

The classic interior is in excellent condition. New Lewmar hatches were installed. A new antifouling was applied. The ad has a link to Google Disc with more than 120 photos, if you’re interested, you can see how a really well–maintained yacht should look 😉

A new water heater is installed. A good stove with an oven, two sinks and a refrigerator. There is “smart” charging and a solar panel.

The sails inventory is not new, but in good condition. There are covers on the mainsail and the staysail. There is also a storm staysail and a spinnaker. All the running rigging looks new.

The boat has a 2003 Volvo Penta MD2030 engine. The engine is fully functional and has always been serviced on time. There is also a bow-thruster. This boat is very hard controlled in reverse, so the bow-thruster is very good.

There is a spray hood and a cockpit tent. A bathing ladder at the stern. Among the disadvantages, I would note the absence of an anchor winch with a chain on the bow.

The photo shows a chartplotter, autopilot and VHF radio station, there is also an echo sounder.

Friends, today we have an Elan 43 with a Yanmar engine for 32 700 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 13.45 meters
Beam: 4.00 meters
Draft: 1.95 meters
Sleeping places: 9
Toilet (head): 2
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A reliable and seaworthy 43 ft boat. The boat is fully ready for living on board or long trips. The price for such a boat can start from 65K euros in the Mediterranean!

Three cabins, two toilets and a shower. There is also a hot and cold shower in the cockpit.

The boat looks very well-maintained inside. The wooden elements are in good condition. New plumbing. I really like the solution with a partition with windows between the salon and the forward cabin. It looks very cozy. What do you think? 🙂

The galley is equipped with everything you need: a new stove with an oven, two sinks and a refrigerator.

The owner says that the sails are in average condition and most likely will last for several more seasons, although they look good in the photo. There is a cover for the mainsail and a staysail on a furler with UV protection. Electric winch is installed in the cockpit.

The Yanmar 4JHBE engine was serviced on time and works like clockwork.

The boat is covered with teak, and it should definitely be replaced in the cockpit. This is quite expensive. You can think about replacing it with an artificial teak.

The boat also has a new chartplotter, anchor winch + 100 meters of chain, anemometer, compass, inflatable boat and much more.
