Location: Germany

Length: 8.50 meters
Beam: 2.50 meters
Draft: 1.00 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

An incredibly beautiful and very well-maintained boat, made according to an old mahogany project. Not everyone is ready to become the owner of a wooden boat. Personally, I prefer to watch them from the sidelines 🙂

The boat is 70 years old, but it still looks very good and will surely attract glances and a lot of attention.

It’s clean inside. The cushions look like new. 4 beds. There is a galley with a stove.

The lighting has been replaced with LED. New batteries are installed.

The sails are in very good condition. There is a mainsail with a cover, a genoa on a furler, a storm staysail and a spinnaker. The new 2021 standing rigging is a very good upgrade.

The boat has a newer 2004 Vetus engine. The engine has always been serviced on time and runs like clockwork.

The instruments include an echo sounder and a speedometer. The photo shows a life raft, but the date of service is unknown.

The owner also has a good road-legal trailer. He will give it away for an extra, I would try to bargain and pick it up for free.

C&C 38 with an updated Yanmar engine and fresh sails for only 15 000 euros!

Friends, today we have a C&C 38 with an updated Yanmar engine and fresh sails for only 15 000 euros!

Location: Netherlands

Length: 11.45 meters
Beam: 3.71 meters
Draft: 1.96 meters
Sleeping places: 8
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes
Shower: yes

It’s a good Canadian-made boat. These boats are quite rare in the European market.

The price looks very attractive for a 38-ft yacht.

The interior looks good. The cushions in the salon and cabins look like new. I like the solution with additional sleeping places in the salon, located along the sides.

There is a new diesel heater.

Fully dedicated toilet with shower. There is also a shower in the cockpit.

New sails: the 2020 mainsail and the 2022 genoa. There are also two additional genoas 2018 and 2000.
The sails are stored in UV protection covers. New running rigging in 2023. The sheets and halyards are brought into the cockpit.

In the original, these boats were equipped with an Atomic 4 gasoline engine. The original engine was replaced by a Yanmar 3GM30F diesel engine.

The deck is covered with a non-slip coating. Lots of winches. It looks like the hatches have been replaced.

There is an anchor winch on the bow. It’s good. Lifting an anchor chain for a boat of this size manually is very difficult.

Some equipment is also installed on the boat: B&G chartplotter, B&G wind instruments, B&G echo sounder, autopilot, VHF with active AIS, radar and much more.

Albin Vega with a Volvo Penta engine for 2100 euros!

Friends, today we have a very interesting Albin Vega with a Volvo Penta engine for 2100 euros!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.25 meters
Beam: 2.46 meters
Draft: 1.12 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes
Shower: in the cockpit

A very updated Albin Vega. The boat looks well maintained. The owner made a lot of cool upgrades.

First of all, the rudder is shifted back for better steering. So the tiller takes up less space in the cockpit.

A good anchor winch with a 40-meter chain has been installed. The hull was polished and additionally insulated.

A davit is installed. This solution allows you to conveniently store the dinghy and not hold it on the bow or carry it behind. This is a fairly rare and good solution for a boat of this size.

The interior and furniture, including the galley, have been updated. There is hot water under pressure.

Another cool solution is the built-in vacuum cleaner in the cockpit with a 10-meter hose. There is also a hot shower in the cockpit.

Among other things — a new starting battery and shore power.

The boat has an inboard Volvo Penta engine. The engine has been repaired, but the cylinder block gasket needs to be replaced (everything necessary for this has been purchased).

There is no information about sails in the ad, but the photo shows that all sails are available, including the spinnaker.

The boat clearly requires some investments, but nevertheless, the offer looks very interesting.

Draft: 1.60 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Nice and very updated yacht. The boat has been in the hands of one owner since 2014, and since then it has been constantly updated, as evidenced by many receipts.

The list of updates is so large that it’s unlikely to fit into this post. Here are the most important ones:

The electrical system has been completely updated, including new wiring, new AGM batteries with charging and a battery monitor.

The water supply system has also been updated. New hot water tank (220V/12V). A new toilet with a chopper — it’s very convenient. You don’t have to worry that throwing toilet paper will clog you up.

All seacocks have been replaced.

And most importantly, in 2019, the boat received a new Vetus engine of 29 hp, including transmission, shaft, etc. (the value is approx 7-10K). A new bow thruster is also installed.

This is only a small part of the updates. If you do it yourself, it can take a whole season, or even more.

The sails are not new, but in good working condition. There is a cover for the mainsail and a furling.

Lots of equipment: autopilot, iPad instead of chartplotter, VHF with AIS, echo sounder. All devices are connected to the NMEA network.

The ad says that for an extra fee, you can pick up dinghy with an electric motor. I would try to bargain and pick it up for free.

A very beautiful and well-maintained boat.

First — is a combination of good racing performance and comfort for long passages.

A two-cabin version with plenty of storage space. Clean and well-maintained mahogany interior (quite rare).

Large hatches in the salon, through which a lot of natural light enters the boat.

Nice new mattresses in the cabins.

A galley with new plumbing. Hot water in the galley and in the bathroom. The new Dometic refrigerator.

A new toilet and septic tank were also installed.

New AGM batteries were installed on the boat last year. There are solar panels.

Fresh carbon sails of 2021: a mainsail with a lazy bag and a staysail on a furling. There is also a gennaker and spinnaker.

A Volvo Penta engine is installed on the boat. The ad doesn’t mention any problems with the engine.

There is also an almost new Raymarine chartplotter, autopilot, wind instruments, echo sounder, VHF and more.

The ad says that the underwater part was checked for osmosis and there is a report — this is also a big plus.

Blue Leth 32 with an updated Volvo Penta engine for 16 000 euros!

Friends, today we have a Blue Leth 32 with an updated Volvo Penta engine for 16 000 euros!

Location: Denmark

Length: 9.60 meters
Beam: 3.05 meters
Draft: 1.85 meters
Sleeping places: 7
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

It’s a good Danish-made boat. The model is a slightly modified version of the Elvstrom 32.

The boat looks very well maintained. The interior is in good condition. There are places where the wood is a little worn, but that’s not a problem. The cushions look good. A galley with a two-burner propane stove, sink and refrigerator.

There is a diesel heater on the boat. The owner says he doesn’t know if it works. It’s better to assume that it doesn’t work 🙂

Two batteries with charging and a charge monitor.

A complete set of sails: a mainsail with a cover and a almost new three-year-old genoa with a Furlex furling and UV protection. There is an additional older genoa and a spinnaker with sock. 6 good winches. The sheets and halyards are brought into the cockpit.

In 2009, the boat received a new Volvo Penta engine. The engine is serviced annually by a professional workshop.

The deck is covered with teak. The wood looks fine. There are places where the sika is already “tired”, but there are not many of them. At a minimum, I would clean the teak and treat it with teak-oil.

There is a spray hood. Two anchors without a winch.

There is also some equipment on the boat: an autopilot (condition unknown), an old chartplotter, an echo sounder with an anemometer, VHF and more.
