Friends, today we have a Facil 26 with an inboard Volvo Penta engine for only 2900 euros!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Length: 7.81 meters
Beam: 2.74 meters
Draft: 1.42 meters
Sleeps: 5
Toilet (head): yes
Shower: no
Kitchen (galley): yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been no small inexpensive boats for a long time. This offer seems interesting to me. Such a boat can be a good option for the first start and training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its short length, it\u2019s already possible to travel on such a boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boat looks very well-maintained. The wooden elements inside are in good condition. The veneer looks updated. The cushions look like new. The bottom has been cleaned and painted with a new antifouling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a galley with a stove and sink. Partially dedicated toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A complete set of sails: a staysail on a furling and a mainsail. It\u2019s difficult to understand from the announcement what condition the sails are in, but judging by the general condition of the boat, they are in good shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An inboard Volvo Penta MD5C diesel engine is installed on the boat. This is a fairly reliable engine, and if it\u2019s maintained correctly, it can last for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a cockpit tent. It\u2019s a good addition for a small boat. You can always take shelter from the rain or wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an autopilot on the boat. It\u2019s very comfortable. With autopilot, you can switch a bit to setting sails or snacking, especially if you\u2019re traveling alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
