Location: Norway

Length: 8.75 meters
Beam: 3.00 meters
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

The boat is very clean and well-maintained. The hull and gelcoat look good. There is a separate aft cabin with access through the cockpit.

Many updates were made: all seacocks were replaced with composite TruDesign, entire LED lights, and USB sockets were installed.

The interior is in good condition. There is a galley with a stove, oven and a sink with fresh water under pressure.

A fully dedicated toilet with a new septic tank.

There is a heater in the saloon.

Full set of sails: a new genoa 2022 on a furling and a mainsail with a new lazy bag. The sheets and halyards are carried into the cockpit. The running rigging looks like new. There is also a spare mainsail, a staysail and a spinnaker.

The boat has a fresh 2014 Volvo Penta D1-20 engine with a power of 20 hp. At the moment, the engine has worked only 330 hours. A new saildrive was installed with the engine. The fuel tank is 150 liters.

A new tent for the cockpit and sprayhood. There are 2 anchors, but most likely without a chain. There is a small dinghy for two people included.

The boat also has a Raymarine chartplotter with maps of Norway, autopilot, echo sounder, anemometer, compass and more. There is no stationary VHF on the boat, it can be a bargaining chip. The owner is willing to haggle for a smooth deal, I wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

An outboard motor for a dinghy is visible in the photo, which means the dinghy itself is also provided. It’s good.

Friends, today we have a Bavaria 34AC with new carbon sails and a Volvo Penta engine for 38 900 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 10.85 meters
Beam: 3.50 meters
Draft: 1.85 meters
Sleeps: 8
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: stern
Kitchen (galley): yes

A well-maintained owner’s boat. 3 cabins, a separate toilet and plenty of space for family or guests. Despite the name of the model, this boat is almost 36 ft long.

The interior is in good condition. It’s clear that the boat has never been chartered. Parking is paid for the entire 2024 season, it is good. You can slowly prepare for the big passage or travel around Norway.

The galley has a stove with an oven, sink and fridge. The boat has a Webasto with deflectors in the cabins and toilet.

There is hot water.

New 105A lithium batteries. It’s very good. A solar panel is installed.

Sailing inventory 2022: a new carbon mainsail with a lazy bag, a new carbon staysail on a furling and a spinnaker. The ropes are brought into the cockpit.

The standing rigging was checked by professionals this year.

The boat is equipped with a Volvo Penta MD2020 diesel engine with a power of 20 hp. The engine was completely overhauled last year and works like clockwork.

There is a sprayhood and a cockpit tent, an anchor winch on the bow and a bathing ladder with a shower at the stern.

Also, there is a lot of useful equipment: a chartplotter with built-in autopilot, an echo sounder, an anemometer, VHF with AIS and more. All devices are connected to the NMEA2000 network, which allows you to receive all data on the chartplotter.

There is also a dinghy with an outboard. Perhaps the owner wants to give it away for an extra fee. I would try to bargain and pick it up for free.

Friends, today we have a Najad 320 with a new Volvo Penta engine and a teak deck for € 42 900!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.70 meters
Beam: 3.16 meters
Draft: 1.60 meters
Sleeps: 7
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes

A sturdy and reliable boat. A thick and durable hull, a modified long keel and a rudder protected with a skeg. You’ll feel confident on this boat, even in harsh weather.

The interior looks good. The galley has a stove, an oven, a sink with hot and cold water and a fridge.

A separate toilet, but no shower. There is a shower on the stern platform.

There are additional folding bunks in the salon. A diesel heater with remote control is installed.

Sails: 2 mainsails, 3 staysails and a spinnaker that was used only once. The sails are in good working shape. There is a cover for the mainsail and a furling for the staysail.

The boat has a new 2016 Volvo Penta D1-30 engine with a power of 28 hp and a running time of only 820 hours. The engine room has also been redesigned. The only drawback, in my opinion, is the sale drive. I prefer boats with a straight shaft.

There is a powerful electric windlass with remote control and a chain counter on the bow. It’s very convenient if you anchor alone.

There is a sprayhood and a cockpit tent. A solar panel is installed.

The boat is covered with teak, which was restored in 2021. Now the coating looks good and has a thickness of 7-8 mm.

There is also a chartplotter on the boat, an autopilot (it has some kind of error, you need to look), a wind instrument, an echo sounder, a compass, VHF and much more.

Friends, today we have Sweden Yachts C41R Performance Edition with an updated Yanmar engine for €39 200!

Location: Sardinia

Length: 12.50 m
Beam: 3.95 m
Draft: 2.35 m
Sleeps: 8
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

The C41R is a racing version of the C41 boat that was built exactly for the Cup of America. If you are looking for a boat closer to the Mediterranean, this may be an interesting offer.

The interior is made of teak and mahogany in good condition. The headroom allows you to stand tall. There are additional folding berths in the salon (8 in total).

Water supply with a hydrophore. Hot water. Two fresh water tanks of 200 liters each.

A diesel heater is installed on the boat, but it should be replaced. The price can be from €200.

The ad also says that it’s worth replacing the batteries. You can install lithium or helium batteries, but they are expensive. You can put lead ones and keep within €100-500.

Large racing sailing inventory: mainsail, 4 genoa on a furling, reacher, storm staysail, spinnaker, blooper (big boy) and others. The sails are no longer useful for racing, but will serve for cruise purposes. The sheets and halyards are brought into the cockpit. The running rigging looks good.

In 2004, the boat received a new Yanmar 4HJ4E diesel engine with a power of 54 hp. The engine looks clean and well-maintained. The oils and filters were changed according to the regulations.

In 2004, the boat received a new teak deck. The wood looks good. The boards have enough thickness.

There is also some equipment: Raymarine chartplotter, echo sounder, anemometer, autopilot, VHF and more.

Friends, today we have a Dufour Gib Sea 33 with a Volvo Penta engine for 33 780 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 10.00 meters
Beam: 3.48 meters
Draft: 1.45 meters
Sleeps: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A nice and well-maintained boat. Two cabins, a separate toilet with a shower and a septic tank. There is hot water. The Webasto system is installed. Interior looks good.

Galley has everything you need: a stove with an oven, a sink and a new refrigerator 2022.
There are also smoke detectors.

Full set of sails: the original mainsail with a new lazy bag and genoa on a new furling system. The sails look good in the photo, but you need to watch them live. Perhaps the mainsail will need to be replaced in a couple of seasons.

All the ropes are brought into the cockpit, which makes it easier to control the sails alone. There is also an autopilot with a remote control for ease of operation.

The boat is equipped with a Volvo Penta MD2020 engine with a power of 19 hp. It’s a pretty reliable engine, but it’s also better to test it live.
