However, it might be difficult to find alcohol for this kind of stoves in the stores and if you plan a long distance sailing better to buy it as much as you can. There is also a refrigerator and a sink with fresh and seawater.

Friends! Today we have an unusual mahogany sailboat Malar 30 (1937) for 8500 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 11.55 meters
Width: 2.04 meters
Draft: 1.40 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Kitchen (galley): no data
Toilet: (head): no data

To be honest, I think this is the most impractical purchase that can be, but nevertheless I want to show you this boat.

This is a 38-foot wooden sailboat with a width of 2 meters, minimum space inside, low ceiling, and a huge amount of work annually.

This is a specific sailboat that is made for racing in skerries. It behaves extremely uncomfortable on a big wave, but in the absence of a wave it goes very fast and driving.

This boat is like an expensive toy. Attention will be provided, everyone will want to take a picture, they will clap you on the shoulder and say what good fellows you are, but personally I don’t see any point in that.

The sailboat was restored and completed in 2006, so all the equipment is quite fresh.

There is definitely a VHF radio station, a GPS navigator, an outboard engine, classic staysail setting, updated mast and boom and a whole set of mooring equipment. The seller says that there is more equipment and he is ready to send the list.

The boat certainly looks great, such a classic is a classic. Remember that such boats are completely illiquid and very difficult to sell. The space inside is comparable to a boat for 1000 euro and the annual maintenance costs will be more than 5000 euro.

Friends! Today we have a Magnifik Midget 23 with an outboard 2-stroke Mercury 4hp engine for 2000 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.00 meters
Width: 2.12 meters
Draft: 0.98 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet (head): not available

This is a small sailboat with an outboard 2-stroke Mercury 4hp engine (2003). I wrote about my experience of owning a sailboat with a two-stroke engine in my book. You can read about these adventures 🙂

Classic staysail setting, good spray hood, mainsail cover, full set of sails (everything is in good condition).

This sailboat is perfect for the first start. By the way, they sell it just because they bought a larger sailboat.

The condition of the interior, wood, gelcoat and sides is good. Everything is bright and freshly painted. This is a long-keeled sailboat, so you don’t have to worry about encountering an underwater obstacle or running aground. Taking into account its size, it is also very easy to get it off the shoal by simply dropping the anchor (I also tell you about that in the book and the course).

There is a link to my training materials in bio. You’ll find information about choosing a sailboat, all the options and risks, and learn how to move it from the Nordic countries to the Mediterranean sea with minimal costs.
