She has been used for day trips, leisure sailing and weekend stays on inland waters. The hull, interior and equipment are expected to show signs of use consistent with the boat’s age. Anyone looking to buy a second-hand boat would be well advised to pay close attention during the viewing day to the hull, deck, standing rigging, seacocks and interior.

One specific known issue concerns the electrical wiring in the mast. This is defective. The sails have also been described as being in poor condition. There are five sails, including a jib, genoa, mainsail and spinnaker. The condition of the individual sails can be assessed during the viewing day. Allow for possible costs relating to the repair, replacement or further inspection of components that may require attention due to age or use.

On deck, the boat is equipped with a pulpit and lifelines, a boarding ladder, fenders and lines. One anchor is present, with chain and rode. An anchor windlass, dinghy, bilge pump and trailer are not included. If you are looking for tips on buying a boat, it is advisable to consider not only the purchase price, but also any potential costs for sails, rigging, electrics, maintenance and mooring.

What engine and technical equipment are fitted?The Granada 27 has one built-in Volvo Penta MD5A diesel engine from 1977. This single-cylinder engine has a stated output of 8 hp and is electrically started. According to the available information, the engine is operational. The stated fuel consumption is approximately 1 litre per hour. Cruising speed is around 7 kilometres per hour, with a top speed of approximately 9 kilometres per hour. Actual performance depends on the load, underwater hull, weather conditions and the condition of the drive system.

Two batteries are on board, with a combined capacity of 130 amp-hours. The electrical installation includes a battery charger, alternator and shore-power connection. The onboard voltage is 12 volts. As the boat dates from 1977, the wiring deserves particular attention. During the viewing day, check the connections, fuses, batteries, switches and shore-power system.

Which navigation and sailing equipment is included?The navigation equipment consists of an autopilot, depth sounder, compass, log and speedometer, and VHF radio. A Navman multiecho sounder, an Icom VHF radio and a Raymarine ST2000 tiller pilot are listed. You can inspect the operation and condition of this equipment yourself during the viewing day. The mast is made of aluminium.

The sail plan consists of a jib, genoa, mainsail and spinnaker. As mentioned above, the sails are described as being in poor condition. The rigging and standing rigging therefore require a thorough inspection. During the viewing day, pay attention to wear, discolouration, stitching, fittings, halyards and lines. The available information does not state a recent date for maintenance out of the water or antifouling treatment.
