Granada 27 now in the online auction. Everyone can place bids until 14 December 2026.What is the condition of this sailing boat?The condition of the boat is described as reasonable. She has been used for day trips, leisure sailing and weekend stays on inland waterways. 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 to the hull, deck, rigging, seacocks and interior during the viewing day.

One specifically known point of attention is the electrical wiring in the mast, which 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. Take into account possible costs for repairs, replacement or further inspection of components requiring attention due to age or use.

Outside, the boat is equipped with guardrails, a bathing ladder, fenders and lines. One anchor is present, with chain and rope. No windlass, tender, bilge pump or trailer is 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, electrical systems, maintenance and mooring.

What engine and technical equipment are present?The Granada 27 has one built-in 1977 Volvo Penta MD5A diesel engine. 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 and maximum speed is approximately 9 kilometres per hour. Actual performance depends on the load, underwater hull, weather conditions and the condition of the propulsion system.

Two batteries are installed on board, with a combined capacity of 130 ampere-hours. The electrical system 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.

What navigation and sailing equipment is included?The navigation equipment consists of an autopilot, depth sounder, compass, log and speedometer, and VHF radio. A Navman multi-echo 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 earlier, the sails are described as being in poor condition. The rigging and standing rigging therefore warrant a thorough inspection. During the viewing day, pay attention to wear, discolouration, seams, fittings, halyards and lines. The available information does not state a recent date for taking the boat out of the water or for antifouling treatment.
