A Budget Mini Aluminum EXPEDITION Vessel To Take You ANYWHERE [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

The hull of this boat was built at the Langedrag wharf in Sweden in 2003 as their only aluminum-built vessel (their other boats are made from steel) at the time.
The interior was built in Norway, and the boat was launched in 2005. It sailed locally in the northern part of Norway until the current owner purchased her Two years ago.
Since then the current owner sailed it from Tromsø, Norway, through all of West Europe - West Africa (Senegal, Gambia, and Cape Verde), then to the Caribbean, and from the Caribbean to Bermuda and finally, Nova Scotia.
According to him:
“The sails are okay, with a Genoa on a furler from 2018 (the furler is one year old). The main sail is from 2015. Additionally, I have a code 0 gennaker on a furler, which is almost brand new.”
It is isolated above the waterline and has a diesel heating stove with a separate diesel tank.

[@Jasper_Seven]

Thanks for yet another interesting walk through. I'm absolutely baffled why there are not more boats "like this" - that is some degree of custom and small. I especially like these smaller vessels, where the owners put both wants and needs, without the extras that the manufacturers stick on. I'm surprised there is not a small variety of sailboats of small size that are essentially "one bedroom", with the occasional overnight guest getting to sleep on the seating area with the table down. But, then I personally wouldn't be doing long hauls in a tiny boat - and if I had the money, I'd have a large gulet with a crew.

[@richbrooks9250]

Obvious tradeoffs with aluminum however if you're Solo or limited crew, meaning all crew asleep and on autopilot, it can be a lifesaver as aluminum stands out well in radar, therefore avoiding night collisions. The hidden plus with the Pullman Style Berth is potential for equal privacy that V-Berths fall shorter on. For example you can fit a family of four or adults in there perhaps needing more quiet uninterrupted relaxation, the large bench seat in the Pullman would accommodate that arrangement, thus allowing noisier half of the crew to do their thing isolated from a larger half. You could literally have a small family with two skippers on shifts sail this and the family would have adequate privacy. An excellent design! The extra large 67hp motor means if you hit a storm or high seas, you're not just putting along barely or not making large wave crests, etc. or lose time due to poor wind, can be promptly made up via motoring. The unique keel/Rudder styling is desirous of efficiency, speed. My only dislike is the diesel heater.Diesel smell repulses me so this should be changed out. I would replace with propane and add second portable wood stove for extended docked/live aboard situations. I would buy an undersized pilothouse style sailboat anyday.

Thanks much! Somehow the interior looks really Scandanavian. I wish more boats used Aluminum and fewer used plastic composities. Plastics are handy, but bad for the environment. Aluminum is highly recyclable, yet durable if the cathodic protection is maintained well.

[@user-zp7jp1vk2i]

Marine Grade aluminum is good to go and boats for decades in BC are on the water.

[@cindyreid6404]

Over all a practical boat. Not much refrigeration going on there. A lotta engine for a 33'. The tiller handle looked too short, maybe because of the mainsheet right in front. Where it fell short with me was, what I could see below the waterline. That sorta wing keel, no protection for the prop or the short spade rudder. You do a fantastic job presenting all the boats you show us. Thank you!

Very nice boat. The only thing that would bother me a bit is the keel and the spade rudder. Here would have been a Twinkiel and a rudder with full skeg nicer. With this you can dry-fall. The current keel design is more suitable for collecting as much algae and rope remains that drift just below the water surface. A thorough refurbishment and cleaning will bring the boat back into good optical condition without much effort and cost. If you then renew the standing and running rigging and make a few extra bucks loose to have more solar panels, as well as a reasonable bimini, then you have here a visually and technically really charming beauty that will take you anywhere. 65,000 CAD may seem a bit much for a 33" boat at first, but I'm sure it would be worth it if, well, if it weren't for the keel and rudder. I wouldn't want to have to dive under my boat in the middle of the Atlantic on a solo voyage in order to throw out the flotsam I've collected. But for someone who only sails in his own area and mostly near the coast, for the certainly looks different. Here, the keel construction probably does not interfere so extremely because you can quickly head for the next harbor or berth if necessary and there you can calmly get rid of the work you dragged along.

[@John-Nada]

It might be easy to modify the keel, cut off the overhang in front, add swept-back wings toward the back, cut off the lower front of the rudder and add a skeg. It was fun to see Sam Holmes intentionally beach his modified full keel Cape Dory at Mont-Saint-Michel.

Thx.

[@vincent7520]

Price tag is okay. Boat is well designed. Appears as having been designed by someone who already made extensive sailing. Galley a little too large to my taste (considering it is a 33ft boat) - as a French I can guarantee you can make two full meals a day with smaller galleys… as I did it for 30+ years on my 30ft sailboat- I'm a little surprised by the shrouds being so close to the mast with no visible benefit as to shrouds mounted on the hull, but that wouldn't stop me from buying. The steering chair seems a little bit too big as to the boat size where space is a premium… but the new owner can decide what suits him best. I'm always a little bit dubious about double berths when sailing hard : a good single berth with a lee cloth is the most confortable item on a boat, but this can also be arraged. All in all, apparently good buy. Would be a serious buyer if … I wasn't 75. Ah sssshhhh… Lucky buyer.

Nice boat for Arctic Cruising, though tbh, I'd go with Steel rather than aluminium as you have to watch Aluminium protection like a Hawk as Salt Water Corrosion can get oretty horrific quite fast. For Tropical type temperatures, whith such a constrained and localised air volumes, and the Pilot house glazing, heat below can get downright nasty. Unfortunately for disabled me it lacks two essentials a Sugarscoop or Bathing platform to work as a Tender Dock plus provide easy Aft Cackpot access, plus for the Tropics for Sailcloth protection and ease of use, in Mast Mainsail Furling (with a Battenless Triradial Main, to help avoid chafing wear and tear, furling reliability, and a largely extended Sail Service Life. Due to Disability, a Classic Mast, Lazy Jacks and Stackpacks have become an unusable Liability if Im going to stay afloat in Sailboats. For the Tropics I can find competent people everywhere for working on Fibreglass Boats, which is a pretty big factor notntoo bad for steel, but there's not that so many Welders Competent at welding Aluminium around. Next Sailboat for me, a solidly built Boat with a Unylester laminate, and no wood on deck, and Termite proof below Decks with a Sugarscoop. Internal Air volume is pretty decent, so fans should get the air moving nicely, with occasional use of 12v Air Con to get things comfortable for sleeping soundly. A very big Positive for that 33ft Sailboat is the lack of surplus steps. To steps in any direction is Brilliant. I can cope with 5 at a gentle angle, and too many such boats come with a vertical and dangerous number of steps Ladder. Even for Physically Able Bidied People. 👍❤️⛵️✨️✨️✨️

[@user-zp7jp1vk2i]

assuming this is Marine Grade aluminum, you'd call the local Welders Operating Engineers pipeline Union and they'd have a Red Seal guy with all the tickets.

[@brownnoise357]

@@user-zp7jp1vk2i Not Globally. Plus Marine Grade Aluminium really bloody Sucks - see the Damage that Can rapidly wreck a Saildrive for example if you Don't keep Well on top of protective measures. With a totally aluminium Hull, not exactly an attractive or value for money long term prospect, which is why Steel is a far better option for extreme Cold Latitudes, as while still vulnerable to Corrosion, early warning of developing problems is vastly improved. If Destinations for Sailing are Temperate and Tropical Latitudes, there really isn't any material to Match Reinforced Resin Laminates, and even Polyester Resin ones can quite easily made Durable enough to have a Service life of close to 100 years. Try that with an Aluminium Hull . That doesn't mean I would Rule out Saildrives by the Way, though they really have to have an excellent Service and Maintenance Regime that is Strictly Adhered to. For me, anything under one for an 80 hp inboard, Must be a Volvo Saildrive, and o er 80 hp can be a Yanmar Diesel inboard, as at 80 hp and above, the Yanmar can have the ZF Saildrive leg, but I would personally rule out the 360 degrees rotatable version of it, for pretty obvious drive leg to Hull Sealing Reasons.

Pretty nice, but the aft cabin is kind of weird and awkward. Looks like you have to duck down n' crawl into it from behind the helm seat.

I wonder if it were really intended as a "large" stuff (toys, provisions, cargo) hold?

[@jasonharris9797]

The sailing rig kind of sucks, because the shrouds are inside, which is indicative of a boat rigged to point into the wind, but it's not cutter rigged, which will hinder it's ability to point into the wind. Kind of a mystery. All boats are a compromise. I feel like the sailing rig layout is a compromise that misses the mark. Might not be to hard/expensive to correct though. Most boats have a lot of positive features, but most boats have some compromises that make the boat a fail as well. Moving the shrouds outboard is cheaper than adding a staysail, but I think if you're trying for any real distance, you need a staysail for versatility, especially heaving too. Both could be done on this boat, and the OP has found a boat with many nice features, but it will need some modifications to make it truly bluewater capable, just from the rig. For an aluminum boat, it may be worth it to invest in the changes to make this into a great passage maker!

[@jasonharris9797]

On further study, the mast is likely too far forward to accommodate a staysail. Hence why it is not included. So the stays being inside the rail is a way to accomplish windward ability. It probably works, somewhat. Probably overall, the tiller steering is more bulletproof than a wheel, which takes more cockpit space. I agree with the author that this is a nice compromise for the size.

It's just a little weekend sailing boat. It's maddeningly uncomfortable. The bow cabin bed is simply too short. The interior is crowded and cramped. The view from the enclosed space of the cockpit is poor. It is true that it is a sheltered place, but it is not really spacious. It can be stuffy and uncomfortable during a tropical cruise. For an aluminum boat, the conical corrosion of the hull must be examined very FIRELY. Until then, there is no enthusiastic fandom for it. The ISUZU engine is nicely painted. Who knows how many operating hours it ran. Compared to this little loser, it is oversized and so is its consumption. The previous owner did not pay the current high price he was asking at some point now. I think there is one more zero in the price.
