Friends, today we have Peter A. Ibold 46 with a new TDME engine for 46 600 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 14.02 meters
Beam: 4.20 meters
Draft: 2.30 meters
Sleeps: 8
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes
Shower: yes

The boat was produced in a single copy by an American designer who created Endurance boats.

The hull is made of ferrocement. I am quite skeptical about such hull material and prefer to observe such boats from the side 🙂

The owner takes the boat out of the water every two years to maintain the hull. The ad contains photos of different stages of service. All seacocks have been replaced with TruDesign (at the moment, this is the best offer on the market).

The boat looks very good inside. The interior is in good condition. A full 46 feet with plenty of space. I like the way the companionway and galley are zoned. There is a bathroom with an electric toilet and a separate shower.

Three cabins. Each cabin has a heater. There is also a wood-burning stove in the cabin (adds comfort).

The sails are in good condition. There is a mainsail with a lazy bag and genoa on a furling.

The new TDME-485 48 hp engine was installed in 2017. There is also a fairly powerful bow thruster, but it’s written that it sometimes switches off and you need to watch.

A 1500W anchor winch is mounted on the bow.

There are many navigation equipment: chartplotter, echo sounder, anemometer, autopilot and more.

Also, a good dinghy with a motor is given with the boat.

Friends, today we have a Lord Helmsman with a new bow thruster and a Volvo Penta engine for 13 200 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.55 meters
Beam: 2.98 meters
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeps: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes
Shower: no

An interesting and well-maintained boat. The bright interior is in good condition. Good cushions. For the last 10 years, the boat has been stored in a heated boathouse every winter.

There is a galley with a stove and oven, sink and refrigerator.

The electric toilet is located between the main salon and the forward cabin. There is a septic tank with a chopper. This is very convenient and reduces the chance of a clogged toilet to a minimum.

The deck of the boat is completely covered with teak. The wood looks very well-maintained and fresh, despite the fact that it’s not new at all.

Set of sails: self-tacking staysail on a furler, mainsail and new genoa. There is also an old spinnaker. All the ropes are out in the cockpit.

The boat has an original Volvo Penta MD11D engine. Major repairs were carried out several years ago. The engine is now serviced and running well.

A new 4.5 hp bow thruster with its own battery was recently installed. Since this is a long-keeled boat, this is an important update.

The boat also has an autopilot, an echo sounder, a wind strength and direction meter, an anchor alarm, a new VHF, a stereo system and more.

Length: 11.00 meters
Beam: 3.30 meters
Draft: 1.87 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

It needs to be said that there is no information about the boat in the ad. In fact, such offers are also worth considering. I bought one of my boats based on such an advertisement. When I arrived, the boat was very well-equipped.

This yacht looks well-maintained. The interior and cushions look good. There is a galley with a stove and oven, two sinks and a refrigerator.

Separate toilet. Two double cabins and a spacious salon.

In the photo, only the mainsail with a cover is visible. There is no staysail in the photo, but perhaps it’s just stored somewhere.

The traveler for the self-tacking staysail is visible. A spinnaker boom is also visible, perhaps there is a spinnaker itself.

The boat has an original Yanmar engine. The condition of the engine is unknown.

Steering wheel control. There is a spray hood. All the ropes are out in the cockpit.

There is an autopilot and a VHF. There is no information about other equipment in the ad.

Location: Norway

Length: 10.11 meters
Beam: 3.35 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

For those who are looking for a good motorsailer. Nauticat 33 is a boat that is ideal for circumnavigation.

A ketch with a very durable and reliable hull with a long keel and enclosed pilothouse, in case you are caught in bad weather.

A lot of circumnavigations were completed on Nauticat boats.

The interior looks good. The wooden elements were restored in a timely manner.

There is a new heater with deflectors in the salon, cabins and in the pilothouse.

Good sails: a brand new mainsail, a working mizzen, a staysail on a furler. There are covers for the mainsail and mizzen.

Friends, today we have a Malo 106 with a brand-new Volvo Penta engine for 29 700 euros!

Location: Canary Islands

Length: 10.60 meters
Beam: 3.60 meters
Draft: 1.70 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Malo yachts are compared with the budget versions of the Hallberg-Rassy. Very durable hull, modified long keel, central cockpit.

The manufacturing quality is also at a high level.

The boat may be interesting for its location. It’s located in La Palma (Canary Islands). This is a “rubicon” for those who want to cross the Atlantic.

The standing rigging is in good condition, but it’s better to carry out a detailed check before transatlantic.

The seacocks have been replaced by TruDesign. This is the best solution that is on the market, at the moment.

The electrics have been completely redesigned. Three house batteries and a solar panel.

There are flares, life jackets and a life raft (verification required).

There is a heater in the cabins. There is hot water.

The boat has a nuance, because of which it has not yet sailed across the ocean. There is a damage above the rudder that needs to be cleaned, dried and sealed. It’s a simple job, but it takes time.

A new Volvo Penta D2-40 engine with an operating time of only 500 hours. There is a bow thruster.

The boat also has a wind autopilot, a standard autopilot with a baller drive, an echo sounder, an anemometer, VHF with AIS, a walkie-talkie and more.

Also, a dinghy with an outboard motor is given with the boat.

Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus 35 with a fresh Lombardini engine for 29 900 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 10.52 meters
Beam: 3.05 meters
Draft: 1.30 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A very interesting boat because of its service history. The previous owner spared no money on the boat, and from 2010 to 2013 he renovated the boat very well. It’s worth noting that he did this in Orust at the Hallberg-Rassy shipyard.

Almost all nodes were replaced: new rigging and a new mast, new rails and pulpits, updated galley and toilet, new tanks, all electrics and electrical panel, new hoses and fittings, new plumbing system.

The old teak was removed, and the boat received a new 12 mm thick teak from the shipyard.

We can say that only a sturdy hull remains of the original boat, and the boat is actually 2010.

Sails: mainsail with a furling in the mast and genoa on a Furlex furler. All the ropes are out in the cockpit.

The engine was replaced with a Lombardini 45 hp. The shaft was also replaced. There is a bow thruster.

A new solar panel with a controller. New AGM batteries.

There is a bathing platform with hot shower. The spray hood and cockpit tent are original and will require replacement soon.

The boat has all the necessary equipment for going to sea: chartplotter, autopilot, echo sounder, VHF, anemometer and more.

Also, a new dinghy with a Yamaha outboard is given with the boat. This is a good addition.

Friends, today we have a TRT 31 TG catamaran with a Yamaha engine and new sails for 24 700 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.50 meters
Beam: 4.60 meters
Draft: 0.65 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

You often ask me about catamarans on the market. As usual, this is either 150-200K, or a project that requires a lot of time and effort.

It seems to me that this one can be an interesting offer.

One of the advantages of catamarans is a lot of space, despite the short length. Wide cockpit, a bow net in which you can lay like in a hammock.

There are 3 cabins on the boat + sleeping places in the salon. Spacious toilet with shower and new plumbing.

A well-equipped galley with everything you need. Hot water.

Gelcoat was updated, and new antifouling was applied.

The standing rigging is new (2022), most of the running rigging was also updated.

New sails: staysail on the furler and Code 0 on the furler. The mainsail with a lazy bag is in good shape. There is also a spare genoa. There is a spinnaker on the boat that has never been used.

There is a powerful anchor winch with remote control and 50 meters of chain.

Solar panels and 4 batteries.

A 4-stroke Yamaha 25 hp engine is installed. The engine is relatively new, but sometimes stalls and easily starts up again after a couple of minutes. The owner says that he doesn’t understand motors and doesn’t know what the reason is. You need to look at it on the spot or take it to the workshop, since it’s not difficult with an outboard engine.

Also, there are: Garmin chartplotter, autopilot, anemometer, echo sounder, VHF and more. There is an NMEA that allows you to connect all devices to one network.

Also, the advantage of catamarans is a small draft. You can lift the rudders and centerboards and literally dock to the sandy beach.

Friends, today we have a Bavaria Holiday with a Volvo Penta engine for 36 000 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.95 meters
Beam: 3.25 meters
Draft: 1.70 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Nice and well-maintained Bavaria. The interior looks good. The cabin is clean and cozy.

Fresh running rigging, hatches and portholes look good. The antifouling was applied.

A galley with a stove with an oven on a gimbal, a sink and a refrigerator. A new water heater has been purchased, but it’s not connected yet.

The seacocks were replaced in 2023. This is a very important update.

Brand-new house batteries 2024. There is a solar panel on the rack.

A complete set of sails: a mainsail with a furling in the mast and a staysail on a Furlex furler.

The Volvo Penta 2020 engine looks well maintained. The engine room is clean and without traces of oil.

The deck is covered with artificial teak. It can be seen that a good coating was used and the deck does not look “cheap». Modern artificial teak has all the properties of natural wood, but is much cheaper to produce and install.

There is a spray hood. There is an anchor box on the bow, but no winch. There is also an anchor from the stern.

Also on the boat there are: Garmin chartplotter with echo sounder, VHF, AIS, dinghy (without outboard) and much more.
