Today we have Contest 28 with a 16 h.p. inboard engine from 2013 for only 9 950 euro!
Location: Netherlands
Hull length: 8.50 meters Width: 2.95 meters Draft: 1.70 meters Height of the cabin: 1.85 meters Sleeping places: 6 Galley (kitchen): available Toilet: available
The engine was installed in 2013 and its power is 16 h.p. The consumption is 1 liter per hour which is very good!
The sails are in good condition. There’s a genoa furler and a UV protection for both the genoa and the mainsail.
There’s an echo sounder, GPS navigator, VHF radio station, battery charger, ladder for getting out of the water, radar reflector, fire extinguishers, fire equipment, gas equipment, refrigerator, emergency pump, mooring equipment, etc.
The boat was covered with antifouling in 2020. Wood and plastic look good.
Most likely the sailboat will be handed over with everything necessary such as tools, spare parts, etc.
A legendary sailboat, a lot of people like it a lot. The length is under 8 meters, so it falls under the category “up to 8 meters” which means that the mooring fee will be one of the cheapest.
The motor Volvo Penta MD 2010 C Bt (1998) powered 10 h.p. is installed. The consumption is about 1.5 litres per hour, cruise speed is 5 knots.
The sails were replaced in 2017, the jib is with the furler but the UV protection has to be made if your final destination is the Mediterranean sea.
There’s a lot of equipment: autopilot Raymarine ST2001, chartplotter Humminbird 2019, echo sounder, stationary vhf radio station, 2 batteries, anchor, anchor winch and anchor chamber (quite a rare thing for this size!), baby stay, life-saving jear, mooring equipment and so on.
Cabin height is 1.8 meters, most people can stay full length here and avoid bumping up the ceiling, the yacht is rather spacious for its size, you can see it in the photos.
A great option as I see it, the motor was renewed, the sails are fresh, there’s a lot of equipment, besides, it is already in the Netherlands (it is much closer to the Mediterranean in comparison with Sweden)).
Friends! Meet Sun Odyssey 29.2 with a Yanmar 18 h.p. Diesel inboard motor for only 29 900 euro!
Location: France, Mediterranean Sea
Hull length: 8.8 meters Width: 3.0 meters Draft: 1.4 meters Sleeping places: 6 Galley (kitchen): available Toilet: available
That’s an example of a relatively modern sailboat in good condition (built in 1998). It’s a spacious, beautiful and small yacht.
Yanmar 2GM20 engine 18 h.p. is properly functioning and was regularly serviced by specialists. Engine mileage is 820 motorhours which is very good (almost new).
The sails are in excellent condition. It’s also said they were regularly checked and kept at home out of season. Standing rigging is fully tested!
There’s a lot of equipment and it has been updated. For example, the refrigerator was changed in 2018, the electric pump in the toilet was replaced in 2020. There’s also a deck shower, a ladder for getting out of the water, bimini, spray hood and awning which were changed in 2017.
Electric anchor winch has a bow and stern control. The anchor chain is 50 meters.
There’s a complete set of rescue equipment for 4 people (life raft, life line, horseshoe preserver, pyrotechnics, walkie-talkie, etc.). Emergency pump was replaced in 2017. There’s a wind meter, wind indicator, speedometer, an echo sounder, GPS navigator, portable GPS navigator, autopilot, shore powered fresh batteries (2018 and 2019).
The antifouling was done in June 2020 so you can definitely keep the antifouling coating for a year.
The yacht is in a great location. The seller offers mooring near Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Nice. In my opinion, it’s quite expensive there (most likely from 3000 euro per year). I would rather moor the yacht in Tunisia, Turkey or Greece.
In Tunisia, the mooring fee for this size is about 1000 euros per year, including electricity, water and taxes 🙂
Hey guys! Meet Jaguar 27 with an inboard motor Perkins 30 h.p. for 8 500 euro!
Location: Tunisia, Monastir
Hull length: 8.18 meters Width: 2.69 meters Draft: 1.32 meters Sleeping places: 5 Galley (kitchen): available Toilet: available
The boat is moored in the same marina as mine 🙂
Motor Perkins 30 h.p. is installed, for this size of boat it is a big reserve power. An outboard motor Suzuki 2.5 h.p. for dinghy is also included.
Sails are in good condition, there is a jib furler but no UV protection, it certainly needs to be done.
There’s quite a lot of equipment, this sailboat had the only owner throughout a long time. There is a radio locator (!), solar panels, navigator, microwave oven, life-saving gear, mooring ropes and so on.
The full list of equipment is better to specify with the seller.
The owner sells this sailboat due to the health condition. The contract with marina is already paid (740 euro per year only!)
This is quite a rare find — a good sailboat in the Mediterranean at a cheap price. Apparently the pandemic and personal reasons came into play.
At the moment Tunisia is open to the public so you can come there and buy it 🙂
Hi everyone! Meet Snapdragon 27 with an inboard petrol motor Albin Q21 for 1 950 euro only!
Location: Sweden
Hull length: 8,28 meters Width: 2,59 meters Cabin height: 1.83 meters Sleeping places: 5 Galley (kitchen): available Toilet: available
Just look at this interesting option!
An old petrol engine Albin Q21 is installed. You need to be careful for purposes of fire safety.
The sails are in good condition, genoa with the furler, there is also a separate stay for the jib (very sustainable solution, if the genoa furler breaks, you can use an old-school jib. All the rest of the time you can use all the advantages of the furler!).
There is a small nose platform for coming ashore, it is also cool for sitting underway, you’ll have a feeling you are flying like a bird.
I would like to pay individual attention to the cabin height, it is 1.83 meters! The very centimeters which the boats like that usually lack. Most people can stand at full length inside this cabin. Very cool advantage 🙂
An excellent planning, comfortable table, separate toilet, you can make 2 double beds, moreover, there’s a separate sleeping place in the stern.
The galley is big, the girls may like it.
A small sailboat with rather comfortable inner areas. The mooring fee will be cheap, besides, the sailboat itself costs 1950 euro only!
Hey guys! Meet Shipman 28 with an inboard motor Yanmar 8 h.p. for 4 800 euro only!
Location: Sweden
Hull length: 8,86 meters Width: 2,6 meters Draft: 1,55 meters Keel: fin Sleeping places: 5 Galley (kitchen): available Toilet: available
Original old engine Yanmar 8 h.p. is installed so be ready to the ensuing consequences. Guess it is the only strong disadvantage in this sailboat. I think it was cared a lot and serviced but it is old engine anyway.
The sails are totally new (2020 year), the jib has a furler, autopilot is installed (2020), there are also a fridge, gas stove, water thermometer, echo sounder, speed meter (log-speedometer), new toilet (2020), new cushions and pillows, heater Wallas, folding propeller, 3 batteries (2 service batteries and 1 starter battery, all of them were installed in 2020), electric wiring was totally changed.
The seller can also offer portable solar panels from 2020 at extra charge.
The sailboat looks good, plastic and wood are in good condition.
The previous owner decided to update this sailboat that’s why most of the equipment is from 2020. Finally he decided to change this yacht to a bigger one (this sailboats seems small for all the family, 2 grown-ups and two kids).
This sailboat is now stored on land, you can leave it at the same place till the next season.
Friends! Today we have an Albin Stratus (35 feet) with a relatively new Volvo Penta md2030 engine for 24 500 €.
Location: Norway
Length: 10.72 m
Width: 3.3 m
Draft: 1.8 m
Sleeping places: 7
Toilet: available
Galley (kitchen): available
You asked me to publish larger yachts with steering wheels, I am showing just such an option. There’re many sleeping places, the boat is large but it’s already much more expensive.
On the plus side, this boat has a separate stern cabin with three sleeping places. Probably it is convenient for couples with children, especially when there are two or even three of them (3 berths in the stern cabin).
The sails area is 65 m² (genoa is 37 m², mainsail is 28 m²) which is quite a lot. It’s much more difficult to clean and set them than, for example, on my Albin Vega (sails are 28 m²). You need 2 times more effort!
The yacht is 10.72 m long which means it’s in the category of 10-12 meters, this is a completely different mooring fee. For example, for the boat up to 8 meters the daily mooring fee can be 20 €, for 8-10 meters – 30 €, and for 10-12 meters – 40 €.
The same goes for maintenance. The difference between yachts of 8 and 11 meters will be about 2 times more expensive.
Now let’s talk about the yacht itself. There’s a Volvo Penta md2030 engine (29 h.p.), a folding propeller, fresh a genoa furler, but an old mainsail, lazy jack and lazy bag. Cockpit floors and seats are new and made from teak.
There’s an autopilot, an echo sounder, a chartplotter, a solar panel, anchors, electric toilet, mooring equipment, rescue equipment, etc.
In my opinion, it makes sense to buy such a yacht only if you are constantly traveling with 2-3 children, a 30-32 feet yacht will be enough for a couple without children or with 1 child.
The yacht costs 24 500 € and this is a normal price for it. You can buy 30-32 feet in a similar condition for about 10-12 thousand €, i.e. 2 times cheaper! You can find a 26-28 ft boat for about 8000 € which is 3 times cheaper!
With this post I wanted to show how the price of a yacht grows for every meter of length.
Hi friends! Meet super Scampi 30 with the renewed inboard motor Yanmar 2ym15 for 11 700 euro!
Location: Sweden
Hull length: 9.07 meters Width: 3.04 meters Draft: 1.65 meters Keel: fin Sleeping places: 6 Galley (kitchen): available Toilet: available
Fabulous sailboat, one of the best I’ve ever seen! Wood and plastic are in perfect condition!
The motor Yanmar 2ym15 which was installed in 2011. The motor looks well-conditioned, thermal protection doesn’t have defects, general impression is good 🙂
There’s a new jib sail with the furler (2019 year), all the rest of the sails set is in good condition, too.
Solar panels (2 pc. x 25 Watt) and solar panels controller are included. All the lights are LED, toilet and flexible tubes were replaced in 2015, the fridge was installed in 2013.
The baking oven is almost new, a swim platform, the net on the pulpit (very comfortable), anchor in tube, tiller extension, lanyard reel, basic life-saving equipment and a lot of other equipment.
Very cool sailboat in my opinion! It is spacious enough but the mooring fee will be inexpensive. Everything looks very fresh, just take a look at the wood inside and at the deck. And just watch at the tiller! Everything is fresh, pleasant and shiny.
In the Mediterranean Sea the sailboat like that, in the same condition and with the same equipment will cost from 25 000 euro!
