Examples of sailboats from 1000 euro

Friends, today we have a Hallberg-Rassy 352 with a fresh Volvo Penta engine for 59 900 euros!

Location: Denmark

Length: 10.59 meters
Beam: 3.38 meters
Draft: 1.68 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Very nice and well maintained Hallberg-Rassy 352. The price looks very attractive. For example, in Turkey, the cost of this model starts from 70K euros and can reach up to 110K.

The interior is in good condition. Two cabins and a separate toilet with a shower. A galley with an oven, refrigerator and sink with hot and cold water. There is Wi-Fi on the boat. A new Webasto is installed in the salon and cabins.

A pretty good supply of freshwater — 300 liters.

The teak in the cockpit looks good. On the deck the sealant has come out in places and restoration will be required over time.

There is an anchor winch on the bow. There is a spray hood and a cockpit tent.

A complete set of sails: a mainsail with a lazy bag, a furling genoa and a spinnaker. The sails are in excellent condition.

The boat has a fresh 2010 Volvo Penta D-2 engine with a running time of only 984 hours. This is a fairly reliable model and there are plenty of spare parts on the market.

There is also a lot of useful equipment on the boat: chartplotter, echo sounder and anemometer, autopilot, VHF with AIS, all devices are connected to NMEA network.

There is also a life raft, but the date of service is unknown.

Friends, today we have Contest 33 with a new Vetus engine for 29 000 euros!

Location: Germany

Length: 9.85 meters
Beam: 3.15 meters
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.

Location: Sweden

Length: 10.80 meters
Beam: 3.61 meters
Draft: 1.83 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

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.

The photo shows a dinghy with an outboard. If it’s included in the price, then it’s very good.

There is an anchor with a chain and a winch (manual) and an anchor from the stern.

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.

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.

Friends, today we have a rare version of the Malo 106 with a Volvo Penta engine for 44 000 euros!

Location: Denmark

Length: 10.60 meters
Beam: 3.30 meters
Draft: 1.58 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

Malo yachts are high–quality boats that can be compared to such Swedish giants as Hallberg-Rassy or Najad.

The model reminds the Hallberg-Rassy 352. A very rare version with a central cockpit and an aft cabin with a separate entrance.

The boat looks very beautiful and well cared for. Teak was laid in 1999 and still looks great. A good example of what a boat should look like if you take care of it.

The interior is in good condition. The galley has a good stove with oven, refrigerator and two sinks. Electric pumps in the galley and in the toilet. There is also an electric flush in the toilet.

Full set of sails: new 2020 mainsail with a lazy bag, genoa on a furler and a gennaker. The sails are in good condition. The halyards are placed in the cockpit.

The boat has an original Volvo Penta MD17D engine with a power of 36 hp. There is a bow thruster.

2016 service batteries. Perhaps they are not in the best condition.

A spray hood and a cockpit tent are sewn. The steering wheel is covered with leather. Good winches.

There is also a lot of equipment on the boat: chartplotter, autopilot, radar, VHF, echo sounder and much more.

Beautiful and upgraded Bavaria 40. The interior looks quite modern. The owner’s boat, which has never been chartered (this can be seen from the condition of the interior).

The boat is very autonomous: new AGM house batteries and a separate starter one. The cabins have USB sockets. The lighting has been replaced with LED.

The sails look good: a self-tacking jib on a furler and an in-mast mainsail. The ropes are brought into the cockpit.

Teak cockpit. A table in the cockpit with an ice-box. There is a BBQ grill on the stern to cook the caught fish. The photo shows good spinning rods, it would be nice to pick them up with the boat.

2 anchor winches (bow and stern). There is a sprayhood and a bimini. There is a swimming ladder at the stern. There is also an inflatable swimming platform on the boat.

The photo shows a dingy with a motor. It’s good if it’s included in the price.

Friends, today we have a Dehler Duetta with a Farymann engine for 23 499 euros!

Location: Canary Islands

Length: 8.60 meters
Beam: 2.95 meters
Draft: 1.60 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes
Shower: in the cockpit

A very well–maintained small ocean A-class boat. The offer is interesting for its location. The yacht is located in the marina on the island of Gran Canaria. The docking place is owned by the yacht owner, and he is ready to provide it for the new captain. A great opportunity to get a place to stay in the Canary Islands all year round.

Over the past 5 years, the boat has been well equipped: a new refrigerator with a freezer, a new toilet with an electric flush, new cushions in the cabins. There is a TV in the salon.

A complete set of sails: a mainsail with a cover and a staysail on a furling with UV protection. The sails are in good working order. The sheets and halyards are brought into the cockpit.

The boat has a 20 hp Farymann engine. The engine has a running time of 3,000 hours. There is no information in the ad about any problems with the engine, but judging by the general condition of the boat, it’s most likely serviced and working properly.

A teak is laid in the cockpit. There is a shower and a bathing platform. There is a steering wheel with autopilot. The textiles look new: the spray hood and cockpit tent are red in the color of the hull. It looks beautiful.

A brand new anchor winch has also been installed.

Friends, today we have a Westerly Conway 36 with a Yanmar engine for 27 000 euros!

Location: France

Length: 10.90 meters
Beam: 3.49 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeping places: 7
Toilet (head): yes
Kitchen (galley): yes

An interesting boat on the French Riviera. The price for such a ketch looks very attractive considering the region.

Safety central cockpit. The standing rigging looks good. The bilge type of keels allows you to feel comfortable in tidal regions.

Many important upgrades were made to the boat: all the seacocks were replaced, new hatches and portholes, a new teak in the cockpit, a new diesel tank and a septic tank.

The boat originally had two bathrooms, but the current owner has converted one of the toilets into a storage room.

The boat has a full set of sails, but the owner says that some of them (mainsail and mizzen) would be nice to replace. Genoa, spinnaker and staysail are in good condition.

The Yanmar engine was completely repaired this year and is working well.

There is rescue equipment: a raft, life jackets, flares, etc.

There are also dinghy with a 2.5 hp Yamaha engine.

The boat has some additional equipment: autopilot, chartplotter, VHF, echo sounder, anemometer, GPS, compass, anchor winch, solar panels and much more.
