Location: France

Hull length: 8.95 meters
Width: 2.98 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Keel: fin
Sleeping places: 6
Kitchen (galley): available

This boat was made in 2000. Its size falls under the category of up to 9 meters. It means that the mooring fee in the marinas will always be affordable.

There’s probably the original 2000 Volvo Penta 18 h.p. engine. Nothing is said about its problems, most likely it works properly. The fuel reserve is 80 liters. It’s about 60 hours or 300 nautical miles.

The sails are almost new, from 2020 (genoa, mainsail and spinnaker). All the ropes go to the cockpit. There’s a lazy jack, a cover for the mainsail. Genoa also has UV protection.

The equipment includes a stationary VHF radio station with a distress function, a Simrad TP 22 autopilot, an anemometer and an echo sounder. There’s a navigator with the MOB (man overboard) function, good music system onboard, 2 x 64Ah batteries with a charger, and an automatic switch from 220V to 12V, charging for devices, a compass and a direction finder.

There’s a shower onboard and a 170-liters tank. Toilet is in excellent condition, 2 pumps, a 60-liters fridge, a gas stove with 2 burners and a gas leak sensor, a life raft (2019), an inflatable boat (2010), an anchor chain of 30 meters + 30 meters of anchor rope, anchor 15kg, as well as many other mooring equipment and fenders.

The boat looks fresh from the inside and looks very modern from the outside. It also has a shower and everything you need. Good balance of comfort and the cost of ownership, well-suited for Mediterranean, especially for marinas with water and electricity but no shower.

Friends! Today we have probably one of the best offers for all the time!

It is a Hallberg Rassy Rasmus 35 with a separate aft cabin and an updated Lombardini 2204M engine (57 hp, 2005) for 31500 euro only!

Location: Sweden

Length: 10.5 meters
Width: 3.05 meters
Draft: 1.3 meters
Type of keel: long keel
Sleeping places: 6
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

I like Rasmus 35 because it has an aft cabin with a separate entrance which is very comfortable for family or guests.

Long keel with hinged rudder blade, can you imagine something more fail-safe?

The boat is equipped with a full set of sails, the sails are quite new. There is a jib furler, and as well there is a mainsail furler! It’s really very conveniently and very rare on such boats.

Quite new Lombardini 2204M engine with giant power reserve of 57 hp. This Rasmus became a motorsailer!

Plastic and wood are in good condition. Teak is wet on the photo, but it is in good condition, too.

Kitchen is in the starboard, it’s more comfortable while moorage, those who love cooking will like it.

There are many other upgrades, the owners invested a lot in this sailboat and cared for it. It’s one of those boats that is a true gift in my opinion!

The price will be at least 50 000 euro in the Mediterranean! It’s a pretty good way to earn money.

I would definitely change the cushions 😀

Label Hallberg Rassy is one of the best yacht brands, it is considered that they make boats that are ready to go to the ocean. Everything is thought out, supreme quality and reliability.

Albin Ballad with a Yanmar 1GM10 engine (overhauled in 2021) for 12900 euro!

Friends! Today we have an updated Albin Ballad with a Yanmar 1GM10 engine (overhauled in 2021) for 12900 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 9.14 meters
Width: 2.96 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The boat was totally renewed and a lot of money was invested. The engine was overhauled in 2021 (there’s a receipt). The entire interior was also updated.

A complete set of sails. The sails are in good condition. There’s a jib furler and a new cover for the mainsail were made.

All the ropes go to the cockpit. It means that the sails can be set right from the cockpit and there’s no need to approach the mast.

The plastic looks great. The gelcoat was also updated, possibly.

The running rigging was updated. It’s better to ask about the standing rigging but there’s a high probability that it was also updated.

The last owner wanted to bring the boat to perfection, and he probably almost succeeded. This boat should be checked in life but in my opinion, this is a great option to take “all finished”.

Friends, today we have an American ‘80s classic, meet Hunter 33 with an original Yanmar 2GM engine (11 hp) for 10,000 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.96 meters
Width: 3.1 meters
Draft: 1.6 meters
Engine: inboard
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available
Berths: 6

Hunter Marine Shipyard is the largest manufacturer of cruise sailing yachts in the USA with a 40-year history.

The seller’s announcement says that the sailboat came from Los Angeles, it has been moored in Norway for several years without use, the seller carried out major repairs, but due to his stay abroad, he was forced to sell it.

The seller made the following during the process of repair:
· restored the original Yanmar 2GM engine and started it this summer, the haulage is 50 hours;
· he started replacing the electrical wiring, most of it has been done, but not completed;
· the wood inside and outside has been updated, mahogany has been sanded and varnished, teak has also been sanded and coated with teak oil

The price includes a set of sails (genoa and spinnaker in good condition), the mainsail needs to be replaced. The price also includes the following equipment: 2 anchors, a refrigerator, an electric toilet, an electric pump, a smartboat (this is control system, something like a smart home for a boat, there is a temperature sensor, moisture sensor, alarm, light control, etc.), music, steps on the mast, a stern platform for swimming and more.

Of the additional advantages of the sailboat – its width is 3.1 meters, and the width, as I have already told you, means comfort. The cockpit is spacious and there is a lot of space inside the yacht. Of the minuses – you need to replace the mainsail, you need to finish the wiring, you need to have some knowledge about sailboats in order to assess the repair on the spot and check all the equipment.

Albin Ballad with an updated Yanmar 3YM20 motor (2007) for only 10,000 euro!

Friends! Today we have Albin Ballad with an updated Yanmar 3YM20 motor (2007) for only 10,000 euro!

Location: Greece, Leukas

Length: 9.12 meters
Width: 2.95 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

There are two most important and valuable moments about this sailboat. It has an updated motor, it is in good condition on the whole and it has a convenient location, it is already in the Mediterranean!

The price is good enough even for Scandinavia, but in this case it is already in Greece, I think that its market price in the Mediterranean Sea is about 20,000 euro!

An electric Lewmar winch, solar panels, an updated wiring system, 3 batteries, the interior was reconstructed and updated in 2013.

There’s a bow platform, a jib with the furler, a full set of sails (they just can’t be seen in the photos).

There is little information in the ad, and of course, you need to examine the sailboat on the spot, but the offer looks very interesting and profitable. If everything is fine with the boat, then you can travel for a couple of seasons and sell it for 20,000 euros.

What do you think? Tell your friends about this way of sailing 🙂 I.e. the sailboat may not be a minus for your capital, but on the contrary, a plus.

Nauticat 33 with a fresh 90 hp Beta Marine motor for 54 000 euro.

Friends! A legendary Nauticat 33 with a fresh 90 hp Beta Marine motor (2015, 352 hours) for 54 000 euro.

Location: Norway

Length: 10.11 meters
Width: 3.25 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Berths: 6
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

Nauticat is widely known as a sailboat which was designed for round-the-world trips. It is rather capacious, reliable, well-designed for long passages.

In this case the sailboat is properly updated, there’s a fresh motor (2015), the haulage is only 352 motor hours!

Raymarine echo sounder (2018), Raymarine navigator (2020), an anemometer (wind measuring instrument, 2020), Raymarine AIS (2020), Lowranse VHF (2015), a diesel heater (2018), boiler which works from motor cooling system (2016), a new water tank (2015), all the tools were replaced (2017), a starter battery (2015), two 100 Ah service batteries (2020), etc.

I can’t describe all the updates but there’re lots of them. There’s also hot and cold water, a fridge, a gas stove, a septic tank, big diesel reserve (2х280 liters), new navigation lights, manual anchor winch was repaired in 2021, there’s a new toilet, new running rigging and so on.

I think that you’ve already understood that the sailboat was invested a lot (I mean both money and effort), Nauticat is a very marketable sailboat, you won’t have any difficulty to sell it in any point of the world.

By the way, teak and hull were updated in 2017.It’s a ketch, all the sails are rather small so you can make different wind balance.

The boat is very spacious inside, there’s a separate cabin with a separate sanitary room!

A very well maintained boat. The interior has been updated, this is also very cool. Fresh and powerful engine Volvo Penta 2002, 18 h.p. It has the optimum power for this size.

Full set of sails, baby stay, sail covers, sprayhood, full cockpit tent, bow protection, swim platform, rudder blade with skeg, anchor device, mooring equipment, etc.

The water supply is 100 liters, the fuel supply is 40 liters but this is easily expandable with either cans or flexible tanks.

Probably the gelcoat has been updated. It looks too new, this is also a big plus. A lot of money most likely was invested in the boat, it was well looked after.

There’s a Garmin 520 s chartplotter, an echo sounder, a log, most likely there’s an autopilot.

The description of the equipment is rather scarce, only the history of the boat is written but I think it could be a great offer. This is the Hallberg Rassy Monsun 31, these boats usually cost significantly more even with old engines.

Hallberg Rassy Monsun 31 with a new Volvo Penta D1-20 19hp engine for only 23000 euro!

Friends! Today we have a Hallberg Rassy Monsun 31 with a new Volvo Penta D1-20 19hp engine for only 23000 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.37 meters
Width: 2.87 meters
Draft: 1.4 meters
Ceiling height: 1.9 meters
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The engine has a 5-year warranty. It means that there’re 4 years more of warranty left! The shaft, propeller were replaced, too. Engine haulage is only 128 hours. So it’s only 1-2% of its resource.

The boat was properly updated in 2020. A new autopilot was installed, a new anchor winch with 50 meters of chain, a new toilet. A hot water boiler was installed (now the boat has hot water and a shower). All hoses and likely kingstones were replaced. There’s a new charger, two 110 Ah batteries, new battery monitoring.

New 2 speed winches (both on the mast and in the cockpit). Most of the running rigging and other ropes were replaced in 2020. The sails are only a few years old so they are in excellent condition.

A hard roof (yellow) was installed. You might dismount it if you want. A new swim platform with an aerial ladder was installed. A shower in the cockpit with hot and cold water, all hatches and windows were replaced. There’s a heater, a compressor fridge, rescue equipment, mooring equipment, etc.

All the beds are about 2 meters long and the height in the salon is about 1.9m.

In my opinion, the offer is 10 out of 10. This is a kind of boat I would buy for myself. A huge amount of money has been invested. A lot of updates both for security and comfort. A completely new engine that will be under warranty for another 4 years (most likely it will not be required).

A legendary boat and everything has already been done. Maybe something else can be done, e.g. I would polish the teak in the cockpit and cover it with oil. It would be perfect. I would also make new cushions covers, but these are nuances.
