Albin Vega with an operating original Volvo Penta MD6A 10 h.p. engine for only 2750 euro!

Friends! Today we have an inexpensive Albin Vega with an operating original Volvo Penta MD6A 10 h.p. engine for only 2750 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.25 meters
Width: 2.46 meters
Draft: 1.17 meters
Berths: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The engine is original. It is a potential problem for me personally. You never know when it will break. If it does not bother you, then 2750 euro for a conditionally offshore boat is very, very cheap.

Usually for that kind of money, Albin Vega is sold with a broken stationary engine and an installed outboard one.

This Albin Vega is slightly modified. The anchor was mounted on the bow. There is a jib furler. Plastic and wood are in good condition (even more so for 2750 euro!)

There are various equipment, accessories, ropes, dishes, etc. Everything is given with a boat. There is also a GPS navigator and a heater.

The boat looks fresh, clean and pleasant. If you know how to deal with engines and the old engine doesn’t bother you, then this boat would be a great choice.

Large 36-feet sailboat with a 50 h.p. inboard engine for only 4800 euro!

Friends! Today we have a project. It is a large 36-feet sailboat with a 50 h.p. inboard engine for only 4800 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 11 meters
Width: 3.4 meters
Draft: 1.8 meters
Berths: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

There’s a hull with masts and possibly with sails. The engine should either be replaced or repaired. The interior also needs to be put in order.

The price of 4800 euro seems very interesting for a 36-feet ketch but only at first glance.

The exterior of the boat has been completely refurbished but this is only the beginning. A new engine for such a boat will cost at least 10000 euro and most likely even closer to 15000 euro!

The rest of the modifications, repairs and renovations will require at least another 20000 euro.

Also, you will spend time, effort and hassle so it might freak you out. Something may not work out the way you want, etc.

Using this boat as an example, I wanted to show how a boat for 4800 euro turns into a boat for at least 35000-40000 euro.

After you do this, you can sell the boat for a maximum of 25-30 thousands euro only in the Mediterranean. If you want to sell it in the Baltic Sea, it will cost 20000 euro.

Usually such projects end as a complete disappointment and loss of a couple of years. It is better to buy a ready-made and maximally updated boat for 20000 euro than a project for 4800 euro and invest 30-35 more thousands euro in it.

Tur 84 with an updated 10 h.p. Yanmar engine (2015) for only 2500 euro!

Friends! Today we have a Tur 84 with an updated 10 h.p. Yanmar engine (2015) for only 2500 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 8.35 meters
Width: 2.6 meters
Draft: 1.35 meters
Berths: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The boat looks very good but there is still work to be done. The engine is fresh but it seems to me that for a boat of this size it is worth having a more powerful engine. Despite the fact that the original boat has the same power engine.

There is no jib furler but don’t forget that this is a boat for 2500 euro with an updated engine. If everything was here, then this offer would be too suspicious.

New compass, new toilet, new alcohol stove, VHF radio, new echo sounder (needs to be installed).

A full set of sails. There’s a spinnaker with a spinnaker boom. Anchor with a chain of 15 meters and a rope of 40 meters.

All the tools and adds-on are also included in the price, such as dishes, mooring lines, fenders, etc.

In my opinion, it is an excellent budget option. Maybe on this boat you need to finish something yourself but it’s not difficult.

This is a very famous boat. IF means International Folkboat. I saw such a boat even in Fukuoka in Japan!

It’s well suited for class races. There’re a lot of competitions and the boat sails pretty fast for its size.

Long keel and outboard rudder blade give maximum reliability. Fresh mainsail, fresh staysail and genoa are in good condition. There’s a spinnaker with a spinnaker boom.

All the ropes go to the cockpit, it is convenient for sailing alone.

Everything is working, the boat is ready to go out to sea. There is various equipment (anchors, ropes, kitchen equipment, refrigerator, etc.)

On this boat, you can both travel and race. It suits well as the first boat, and then it can be sold for 2000-3000 euro without any problems.

Albin Vega sailboat with Yamaha 5 h.p. outboard motor for only 2000 euro!

Friends! Today we have a legendary Albin Vega sailboat with an original Albin Q21 engine and Yamaha 5 h.p. outboard motor for only 2000 euro!

Location: Mariehamn, Aland Islands

Length: 8.25 meters
Width: 2.46 meters
Draft: 1.17 meters
Sleeping places: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

Albin Q21 engine is an inboard gasoline engine. It does not work properly so they installed an outboard Yamaha motor.

If you bring the inboard engine in order, then the outboard can become a spare one + it can be used for an inflatable raft.

The only thing I really don’t like is the idea of ​​an inboard gasoline engine. It’s not very safe.

There’s a jib furler, a fresh genoa with a cover, a fresh cover for the mainsail, and a fresh tent for the cockpit. The mainsail is in good condition.

The boat looks good enough both inside and outside. Plastic and wood are in good condition. Only the lids of the lockers and the table need to be repaired, but in principle it’s not difficult.

There’s a swim platform (it’s very convenient), VHF radio station, an inflatable raft, a heater, mooring equipment, etc.

The ad says that there’s a lot of equipment on the boat and it all works. I think the details can be requested separately from the seller if you text him.

Friends! Today we have an Ohlson / Winga 29 with an updated interior and a fresh Volvo Penta 2002 18 h.p. engine for 13500 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 8.6 meters
Width: 2.7 meters
Draft: 1.65 meters
Ceiling height: 1.83 meters
Berths: 5
Kitchen: available

A very well maintained boat. The interior has been updated, this is also very cool. Fresh and powerful engine Volvo Penta 2002, 18 h.p. It has the optimum power for this size.

Full set of sails, baby stay, sail covers, sprayhood, full cockpit tent, bow protection, swim platform, rudder blade with skeg, anchor device, mooring equipment, etc.

The water supply is 100 liters, the fuel supply is 40 liters but this is easily expandable with either cans or flexible tanks.

Probably the gelcoat has been updated. It looks too new, this is also a big plus. A lot of money most likely was invested in the boat, it was well looked after.

The ceiling height is 1.83 meters, it will be comfortable for most of our subscribers. At the same time, the boat is small and it will not require large investments in maintenance or repairs.

I think this boat would be great for sailing to the Mediterranean next year.

Location: Norway

Length: 9.37 meters
Width: 2.87 meters

Kitchen (galley): available

The photos are not very good but the offer is very interesting! 2006 engine, 814 hours only.

A full set of sails, there’s a jib furler but there’s no UV protection. It is better to sew it if you’re going to sail to the Mediterranean.

There’s a Garmin 520 s chartplotter, an echo sounder, a log, most likely there’s an autopilot.

The description of the equipment is rather scarce, only the history of the boat is written but I think it could be a great offer. This is the Hallberg Rassy Monsun 31, these boats usually cost significantly more even with old engines.

Hallberg Rassy Monsun 31 with a new Volvo Penta D1-20 19hp engine for only 23000 euro!

Friends! Today we have a Hallberg Rassy Monsun 31 with a new Volvo Penta D1-20 19hp engine for only 23000 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.37 meters
Width: 2.87 meters
Draft: 1.4 meters
Ceiling height: 1.9 meters
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The engine has a 5-year warranty. It means that there’re 4 years more of warranty left! The shaft, propeller were replaced, too. Engine haulage is only 128 hours. So it’s only 1-2% of its resource.

The boat was properly updated in 2020. A new autopilot was installed, a new anchor winch with 50 meters of chain, a new toilet. A hot water boiler was installed (now the boat has hot water and a shower). All hoses and likely kingstones were replaced. There’s a new charger, two 110 Ah batteries, new battery monitoring.

New 2 speed winches (both on the mast and in the cockpit). Most of the running rigging and other ropes were replaced in 2020. The sails are only a few years old so they are in excellent condition.

A hard roof (yellow) was installed. You might dismount it if you want. A new swim platform with an aerial ladder was installed. A shower in the cockpit with hot and cold water, all hatches and windows were replaced. There’s a heater, a compressor fridge, rescue equipment, mooring equipment, etc.

All the beds are about 2 meters long and the height in the salon is about 1.9m.

In my opinion, the offer is 10 out of 10. This is a kind of boat I would buy for myself. A huge amount of money has been invested. A lot of updates both for security and comfort. A completely new engine that will be under warranty for another 4 years (most likely it will not be required).

A legendary boat and everything has already been done. Maybe something else can be done, e.g. I would polish the teak in the cockpit and cover it with oil. It would be perfect. I would also make new cushions covers, but these are nuances.

Interesting 40-feet boat with Lombardini LWD 2204M 60 h.p. engine for only 15,000 euro.

Friends! Today we have an interesting 40-feet boat with Lombardini LWD 2204M 60 h.p. inboard engine for only 15,000 euro.

Location: Norway

Length: 12 meters
Width: 3.6 meters
Draft: 2 meters
Berths: 6
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

If I understand it right, this is a Korean boat. To be honest, I don’t know how she ended up in Norway but this offer seemed quite interesting to me.

A real cruiser with a lot of supplies and equipment. 2 fuel tanks 200 liters each, 2 water tanks 200 liters each.

The engine is fresh (2006). There’s a heater, a boiler, 2 double cabins, a radar, an echo sounder (200 meters), an anchor with a chain of 60 meters, an inflatable boat, a bow thruster and other equipment.

Of course, this boat should be checked in life and everything should be inspected. Unfortunately, the description is very chaotic and little is clear but buying a 40 feet boat for 15,000 euro, especially with a fresh engine, is very tempting.

The boat is in Oslo on the island Revierhavnen BÅTFORENING, you can see it and draw some conclusions.

Very well maintained boat, especially for its price. As I said before, despite its small size, it is a full-fledged cruiser on which some crossed the oceans and travelled around the world.

A full set of sails which was handed over to repairs in 2020. The set includes a mainsail, a staysail, a storm staysail, a genoa and a spinnaker with a spinnaker boom.

There’s also an autopilot and an echo sounder which is also very good because autopilot inself costs 500 euro.

The boat comes with everything on board, i.e. with dishes, tools, spare parts, etc.

The Honda engine is 8 h.p. from 1999, it’s written that it is in good condition.
