https://www.milanuncios.com/veleros/iw-31-531120941.htm……noticed this very nice looking Sparkman and Stephens yacht for sale here in Pontevedra….i have no connection!
It has a windvane ,I suspect it been sailed from the north and for some reason the owner wants to sell,yes narrow stearnVery pretty, but very much of its age. (for some reason, I can't put a pic without more faffing than I'm willing to do)
I guess it’s sort of supply and demand but also yachts are still definitely a rich man’s playthingAnother one here
She 31 for Sale in Isle of Wight, United Kingdom - 1970
I see what you mean about boats being overpriced on the Iberian peninsula
Ironic name eh?
She ( who must be pursuaded to like it )![]()

It’s been on the market for several months…….lookslike Vigo is the end of dreams for some voyagersVery pretty!
That's a boat you could be proud of.
It's only a metre and a bit longer than 8m.
Modern engine (albeit only 14hp), wide side decks, twin sprawling berths. What more do you need?
The ad says it arrived in Vigo from Finland.
Presumably the owner is far away and needs to be rid of it. It doesn't seem the standard French etc. leisure boat sort of thing you usually show us and i guess is fairly standard in the area. Price has already been dropped 22% from €23k too €18k. Maybe you could get it for €15k?
That and the 'life raft, radio beacon . . ., AIS, fixed radio with DSC and portable radio, Garmin NMA2000 network, Garmin wind equipment, solar panel, Victron genoa battery controller, mains, spinnaker and storm sail' are just what you need for wafting about the rias!![]()
Indeed. It looks as though the boat was well-prepared for a transat, but didn't get any further. I could imagine a couple setting off from Finland, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, then getting a pasting across Biscay and one or both deciding, No way.It’s been on the market for several months…….lookslike Vigo is the end of dreams for some voyagers![]()
I was taken more by the sheer lineUp-side it looks to have a nice Yanmar engine, downside it has a flushing bog.

And. Let us not forget the Handsome TransomA satisying sheerline will outweigh quite a few shortcomings in other departments.
A good sheer line will lift the owner's heart in a way that even the finest latrine plumbing arrangements somehow do not.![]()

Why, one Vikings end of the path is another Spaniards brave new road
