Friends! Today we have a compact and atmospheric sailboat that could be a great option for a first boat \u2014 a Benford 27 for only 1300 euro!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

? Location: Sweden<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main parameters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length: 8.10 m
Beam: 2.64 m
Displacement: approx. 5 t
Sail area: 42 m\u00b2
Engine: Volvo Penta MD5, diesel
Hull: ferrocement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boat is a classic Scandinavian design with a teak deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hull is built of ferrocement, which makes it strong and able to withstand knocks against rocks or piers without trouble. It doesn\u2019t rot, isn\u2019t prone to corrosion or osmosis, and it retains heat while lasting for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This boat also has an impressively smooth motion. There\u2019s a specific measure called the Motion Comfort Ratio, and on the Benford 27 it\u2019s higher than 98% of yachts of similar size. In simple terms, she handles rolling far more gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with a Volvo Penta MD5 diesel engine, a staysail and a furling genoa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside there is a galley, an electric toilet with a septic tank, and a heater for warmth on cool days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good balance of coziness, simplicity, and seafaring reliability.
The bottom appears to be painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
