Examples of sailboats from 1000 euro

Friends! Today we have a Nordic Family Boat with a new engine for 4,483 euro.

Length: 8.8 meters
Beam: 2.65 meters
Draft: 1.55 m
Cabins: 1
Rigging type: fractional sloop
Keel: fin w/transom-hung rudder

This NF boat is a practical choice for those stepping into cruising or looking for a reliable daysailer. The spacious cockpit creates a comfortable space for friends and family.

The interior has been refitted by previous owners. The cushions are new, and the woodwork is well-kept. You see the classic Scandinavian design in the saloon and galley. Maintenance has been steady, with recent upgrades to the forward hatch and a refreshed sprayhood.

A new Suzuki 6 hp outboard was installed in October 2025 and comes with a 7-year warranty, adding extra reliability for coastal cruising and short passages. The electrical system features a new battery and a 50 W solar panel for self-sufficiency.

There are five berths onboard, making it suitable for a small crew or family. The boat uses a portable toilet. Personally, I find the porta potti less ideal for longer passages, but for day trips or short outings, it is practical and easy to manage.

The sail wardrobe includes a mainsail, a furling jib, and a spinnaker. All lines are led to the cockpit for safe and simple sail handling. The anchor equipment and safety gear are complete, with no environmentally harmful bottom paint.
