Friends! Today we have a Jeanneau 36i for 73,000 EUR — a 2008 model at the lower end of the market.

Location: Drøbak, Norway

Length: 10.94 meters
Draft: 1.94 meters
Beam: 3.59 meters
Keel: fin
Displacement: 5,700 kg
Engine: Yanmar, inboard
Cabins: 2
Sleeps: 4
Rig: fractional sloop

This Jeanneau 36i is well-kept and ready for new adventures. The boat is known for its balanced mix of practical sailing and comfort.

The “i” in the model name stands for Injection molding, a construction method Jeanneau developed to make the hull both stronger and lighter. The result is a stiff, robust, and easy-to-sail boat with better weight distribution and lower maintenance costs.

A bow thruster was installed in 2023 for easy maneuvering in tight harbors. Remote controls for both bow thruster and anchor simplify solo sailing.

Inside, the two-cabin version gives more space and flexibility than the three-cabin layout. The large storage locker aft is perfect for extra sails or cruising gear.

Natural light fills the saloon. The U-shaped sofa and well-equipped galley create a cozy space for family or guests. Both cabins have quality mattresses and plenty of storage.

The Jeanneau 36i is easy to manage with one or two people. The draft and hull shape suit both coastal cruising and longer passages. The engine is reliable for docking or motoring in calm weather.

Friends! Today we have an Adria Event 34 for 595,000 NOK (51,000 euro).

Location: Malta

Length: 10.36 meters
Draft: 1.7 meters
Beam: 3.5 meters
Keel: Fin
Engine: Volvo Penta D1-30F, 2023, less than 100 hours
Fuel capacity: 85 liters
Fresh water capacity: 238 liters
Cabins: 2
Sleeps: 6
Rig: Sloop
Shower: Yes

This well-kept Adria Event 34 was built in 2004 and is now in Malta after a full North Sea–Mediterranean passage. She is a Category A-Ocean vessel, built for offshore passages and long-term cruising.

The hull received a professional osmosis prevention treatment in 2018–19. Coppercoat antifouling was applied in 2019 and topped up in October 2019. This means less maintenance and more time on the water.

The new Volvo Penta engine was installed in 2023 and has been run less than 100 hours. This gives predictable performance and reliability for years ahead.

The sail wardrobe includes a fully-battened mainsail and furling genoa (both Elvstrom, 2016), plus a Parasailor with tacker—ideal for solo or double-handed passages. All sails are in practical condition, with the Parasail hardly used.

The boat is equipped for extended cruising: 12V/220V shore power, new service batteries (2023), Victron charger (2025), wind generator, and solar panel. Navigation includes B&G autopilot, Lowrance plotter, AIS, and more.

The current price is lower than on Yachtworld, where she is listed for 59,500 euro. For those who value Northern European boats but want to skip the delivery trip, this is a practical option.

The Bukh DV20 engine was overhauled in 2018. The propeller shaft, stern tube, and external bearing were replaced in 2020. The boat has a Victron inverter and automatic charger for modern power management.

Sail handling is practical with four winches and a high aspect jib. The standing rigging is partly upgraded to Dyneema. There is an all-round winter tent and a removable swim ladder.

Length: 9.3 m
Beam: 3 m
Engine: Mistubichi MD1300, 31 hp
Cabins: 2
Hull: Wooden

This Van Dam yawl was built in 1962, at the dawn of the “golden age” of yacht design. During this period, wooden yachts were still crafted by hand, while fiberglass mass production was only starting.

The brand stands for comfort, quality, and reliability — these are yachts you trust on long passages.

This 382 features an encapsulated lead keel. Lead gives a lower centre of gravity and a slimmer profile than iron. The result is less heel, more sail area, and better upwind performance. The boat holds a closer angle to the wind and moves predictably in changing conditions.

The center cockpit layout brings security at sea and a dry, protected helm. Inside, you find classic teak joinery and a warm, practical saloon. The layout is straightforward and suits both family cruising and longer voyages.

The Volvo Penta MD 22 engine is known for reliability. Access is simple for routine checks. The diesel tank and water capacity are designed for extended trips.
