Colin Archer, but it’s a project — the hull is being given away for just 1,000 SEK (that’s €90 or $100)!

Friends!

Today, we have a mahogany Colin Archer, but it’s a project — the hull is being given away for just 1,000 SEK (that’s €90 or $100)!

Read thoroughly and let me know what you think. In my opinion, this is an incredible opportunity for a certain group of people.

📍 Location: Sweden

Length: 12.8 meters
Beam: 4.3 meters
Planking: Mahogany, 4.5 cm thick!
Keel: Lead
Deck & Superstructure: fiberglass reinforced plastic
Bolts: Stainless steel
🚫 Engine: Not yet installed
🚫 Interior: Not yet built

If you were to start a similar project from scratch, the cost would be in the five-figure range. Mahogany is an incredibly expensive material.

Colin Archer is a dream boat for many. If you bring this yacht to completion, its value will be several hundred thousand euros. But this is a big project, it will take months of work, and you’ll need at least one more person to help you keep going and not give up.

Once finished, this will be an amazing cruiser, capable of taking you around the world! A mahogany Colin Archer will turn heads everywhere — whether you enter a marina, a port, or drop anchor, you’ll be the center of attention.

This is a dream project, but it requires time, effort, and dedication. Some tasks can be outsourced (such as engine installation).

You could also sail the boat from Sweden to the Baltics and complete the interior work there.

With a 4.3-meter beam, this boat offers massive living space — practically a floating house where you can design your dream interior!

Trio 80 with an inboard Yanmar engine for only 514 euros!

Friends, today we have a Trio 80 with an inboard Yanmar engine for only 514 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.05 meters
Beam: 2.80 meters
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeps: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

An excellent offer for those who are looking for an inexpensive boat at the end of the season. The value of such a boat on the market is at least 10 times higher.

Despite the low price, the boat is completely in working condition.

Of course, it has something to fix and repair. There are several scratches on the hull (shallow), antifouling is required, the fresh water tank is leaking a little.

If you look at it from a positive point of view, then it may be a good option to practice minor repairs.

The Yanmar inboard engine has recently been repaired. The owner says that the engine starts and works properly, but it’s worth replacing the exhaust manifold.

The interior looks good. There is a galley with a stove with an oven, a sink with fresh and sea water and a refrigerator.

Separate toilet.

A new electric bilge pump is installed on the boat. Two batteries (condition unknown). The sprayhood is sewn.

A complete set of sails: a mainsail with a cover (in good condition) and an older, but working staysail on a furler. There is also a spinnaker that has hardly been used and is most likely as new.

There is also some equipment on the boat: Garmin navigator, VHF, echo sounder and anemometer.

There is also a new autopilot, but the owner wants an additional fee for it. I think it will be possible to bargain and pick it up inexpensively.

This yacht looks well-maintained and has many upgrades.

Friends, today we have the most interesting find — an Albin Viggen with Tohatsu engine for only 5 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.10 meters
Beam: 2.24 meters
Draft: 1.11 meters
Sleeps: 4
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

Yes, it’s not a typo. The boat is given as a gift to a person who is ready to take care of her.

When I found this ad, the boat cost 200 euros, and even then it was a very interesting offer. Now the owner is ready to give it away for free.

The boat is already very well-maintained and has good updates, for example, new halyards, teak in the cockpit, an entrance shield made of darkened glass.

The interior and cushions are in good condition. There is a galley with an alcohol stove and sink. The toilet is located in the forward cabin.

The sails look good. Mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furling. The wiring of the halyards to the cockpit has been done.

The Tohatsu outboard engine has recently been serviced, but sometimes it’s malfunctioning. The owner says it’s probably because of the carburetor. You need to look at the place.

There is a spray hood and cockpit cushions. There is an anchor with a chain on the stern.

Perhaps there are some navigation devices on the boat, then this boat may turn out to be a real treasure.

Location: Sweden

Length: 6.80 meters
Beam: 2.30 meters
Draft: 1.12 meters
Sleeps: 4
Toilet (head): no
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

Amigo 23 is an excellent boat for start and short passages for less than 500 euros. Reliable long keel and shallow draft.

The interior and cushions look good. The upholstery in the forward cabin is a little worn, but that’s not a problem.

There is a place for a galley with a fresh water sink. The water tank has been recently cleaned. I don’t see the stove in the photo. If it’s not available, then you can use a camping stove or buy a normal alcohol stove.

The sails look quite fresh. A mainsail with a cover and a staysail with a classic setting.

The boat has a 5 hp Tohatsu outboard engine, which can be included in the deal for 340 euros.

There is also a spray hood with a new water-repellent impregnation. There is a small solar panel.

Also, there are fenders and mooring lines in the required quantity.

Length: 9.42 meters
Beam: 3.08 meters

Sleeps: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A very well-maintained boat of high quality. The boat is fully prepared for the new season. The underwater part was cleared. All seacocks were replaced with composite TrueDesign. The standing rigging is checked.

The boat is clean inside and out. The interior and cushions look good.

There is a galley with everything necessary for cooking: a new stove with three burners and an oven on a gimbal, a sink with fresh and seawater and a refrigerator. All hoses and tubes in the galley (including propane) have been replaced.

Partially dedicated toilet with sink and hand held shower.

Full set of sails: mainsail and genoa on the furling. The sails are in good condition, but I don’t see a mainsail cover. If you are going to sail in regions with active sun, then it’s better to sew one. There are also additional older sails.

The original engine was replaced with a new, more powerful 2023 Volvo Penta D1-30 with a power of 28 hp. New insulation was made. A new 91-liter fuel tank was installed.

The new sprayhood. The teak deck looks good, but you need to watch it live. The cockpit has a shower and a new bathing ladder.

Beam: 2.60 meters
Draft: 1.55 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

There have been no boats up to 1000 euros for a long time. This one looks like a good example.

The salon is quite spacious and there is plenty of storage space for a boat of this size.

A fully dedicated toilet with a new toilet bowl. New seacocks have been installed.

The dining table on the port side folds into a double bed. There are 6 berths on the boat.

The interior and cushions look good. USB sockets, new batteries and a charger have been installed.

There is an autopilot. It’s very good for a boat for that price. There is also a VHF station.

A good sailing inventory: a mainsail with a new cover, two staysails of different sizes and a storm staysail. The sails are in good working condition.

The inboard engine was dismantled, but the shaft and folding screw are available, which makes it possible to install a new diesel or electric motor.

Now the boat has an almost new Tohatsu 6 hp outboard engine from 2021. The owner is ready to give it away for an extra fee of 1270 euros. You can try to bargain or look for another engine.

Also, there is a sprayhood, a bathing ladder, a pair of anchors, manual and electric bilge pumps and much more.

A small but well-maintained boat. A great option for the first boat or to start learning how to sail.

Such a boat has all the same basic principles as a larger boat, but it will forgive you more mistakes, and this can be very important at the initial stage.

There is a galley with a stove and sink. 5 berths.

The toilet is located in the space between the forward cabin and the salon.

A full set of sails: a mainsail with a cover, a staysail with a classic setting and a spinnaker. The sails are in good working condition and most likely will last for several more seasons.

Also on the boat there are a large number of mooring lines and various ropes, a set of fenders and a spray hood.

All the electrics and lighting are working. A good battery is installed.
