Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus with a Volvo Penta engine for 34 000 euros!

Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus with a Volvo Penta engine for 34 000 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 10.52 meters
Beam: 3.05 meters
Draft: 1.30 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A very well-maintained boat from the legendary Swedish shipyard.

Rasmus has a sturdy hull, a safe central cockpit and a reliable long keel.

It’s clear from the ad that the boat was in caring hands, and the owner sells it with a heavy heart.

The price looks at the top of the market (for Scandinavia), but it seems to be decent. Closer to the Mediterranean, the price of such a boat can start from 55,000 euros.

The hull is polished. The underwater part is painted with antifouling paint.

The standing rigging was replaced in 2006, but due to the short season, it’s almost as good as new.

The yacht is dry and clean inside. The interior is in excellent condition. There is a galley with a stove with an oven, a double sink and a compressor refrigerator.

The central cockpit can be completely covered with an awning. There is a sprayhood.

The sails are in good condition. There is a furling for genoa.

The Volvo Penta engine is fully serviced and works like clockwork.

There is no list of equipment in the ad, but the owner is ready to send it. It can be seen that there is a chartplotter, an echo sounder, and an anemometer. There is an anchor winch on the bow.

Also, an almost new dinghy with oars is given with the boat, but perhaps without a motor. There is a good davit in the stern.

Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

A well-maintained and well-equipped Swedish-made boat.

The hull has an unusually bright color.

The previous owner updated the interior and upholstery.

He also replaced the teak deck. Now the wood looks very beautiful, and if you are ready to take care of it, then it should last quite a long time.

The galley has a stove with an oven and a refrigerator with a new compressor. A sink with a new pump and water filtration.

A separate toilet, but without a septic tank. There is a place to install it.

Location: Portugal

Length: 10.97 meters
Beam: 3.30 meters
Draft: 1.60 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Again the heading «a yacht for circumnavigation». Watkins 36 is a reliable and durable boat with a long keel.

The boat is being compared to the more affordable version of the Island Packet, Najad or Pacific Seacraft.

The teak interior looks very beautiful. The boat is clearly after refit and looks quite modern and tasteful.

A good headroom is as much as 2 meters. A galley with everything you need. Toilet with shower with access from the salon and forward cabin.

Very good autonomy due to the 870 Ah battery bank and solar panels.

A complete set of fresh sails: a mainsail with a patent reef, a genoa on a furler and a gennaker. The sails are in excellent condition.

In July 2024, a completely new 55 hp Solé Mini engine was installed with a running time of only 4 hours. A new engine is always good. Maybe it’s even under warranty.

The boat is full of useful equipment: chartplotter, autopilot, echo sounder, anemometer, VHF and more.

Hallberg-Rassy Monsun 31 with a fresh Nanni engine and lots of upgrades for 23 300 euros!

Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy Monsun 31 with a fresh Nanni engine and lots of upgrades for 23 300 euros!

Location: Caribbean Islands

Length: 9.37 meters
Beam: 2.87 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

The legendary boat that sailed to the Caribbean from Norway. I believe that a boat that has crossed the Atlantic is always a worthy offer. Of course, something is bound to break in such a transition, but this is the consumable part. And a good shipowner is likely to replace it immediately.

All standing rigging has been checked. Lithium house batteries and a new starter one.

The interior is in good condition. New cushions. The upholstery needs to be repaired in places — this is not critical. There is a new refrigerator in the galley, but it has stopped functioning.

A new toilet with a septic tank with a chopper.

New sails: a new mainsail with a new lazy bag, a new genacker with a sock, and genoa on the furler.

The boat is equipped with a 2015 Nanni N3.30 engine with an operating time of 2500 operating hours.

The teak deck was also renovated in 2024. There is an anchor with an anchor winch on the bow. The new sprayhood has been sewn.

There is a life raft, but it needs to be activated. There is also a wind autopilot on the boat, which greatly facilitates life on long ocean crossings and allows you not to consume electricity. Such a device is quite expensive — up to 5,000 euros.

There is a dinghy with an outboard, which is a plus.

The boat also has a lot of useful equipment: echo sounder, anemometer, VHF with AIS, compass and more.

Scanmar 31 with a Volvo Penta engine and brand-new sails for only 6800 euros!

Friends, today we have a Scanmar 31 with a Volvo Penta engine and brand-new sails for only 6800 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.40 meters
Beam: 3.00 meters
Draft: 1.65 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Quite an interesting boat. The offer is not “turnkey” and requires repair of a rather important node.

You need to replace the sale drive (it’s included and comes with the boat). For this job, you need to lift the boat out of the water. All the work can cost from 5,000 euros.

However, the rest equipment on the boat is in good condition, and she has many upgrades. The market price of this model in good condition can start from 20K euros.

Very difficult work has been done: new keel bolts, a new mast, engine overhaul.

Sails of 2024: mainsail (not even used yet), self-tacking staysail and gennaker. The new sails can cost up to 7-8K euros and cover the cost of a boat.

The 2006 Volvo Penta MD2020 engine was overhauled a couple of years ago. All documentation is available. A new starting battery was installed.

The boat also has some useful equipment: chartplotter, autopilot, VHF and more.

Friends, today we have a Boström 31 MK2 with a Yanmar engine for 4500 euros!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.33 meters
Beam: 2.76 meters
Draft: 1.80 meters
Sleeping places: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

An interesting offer. The boat is a semi-project that the owner didn’t manage to complete. Nevertheless, the boat is ready to go to sea, and the remaining amount of work is cosmetic in fact.

It seems to me that this is a great opportunity to get a good and inexpensive boat for the new season.

All the seacocks have been replaced — this is important. The standing rigging was checked. The entire running rigging was replaced with a new one. The diesel tank is cleaned.

New electrics.

The original Yanmar engine, according to the owner, works well and has never failed. This is an old engine, and I recommend checking it out thoroughly.

A complete set of recently repaired sails in very good condition. A mainsail with a patent-reef and a staysail on a furler.

Inside, the boat requires love and attention. The wood needs to be sanded and painted. You can update the cushions.

The owner installed a new toilet and septic tank with a chopper.

A new Raymarine autopilot with transmission directly to the rudder stock is also installed.
