Seaforce 49 now in the online auction. everyone can bid until 19 October 2026.


Seaforce 49 for comfortable sailing tripsWhat type of boat is the Seaforce 49?The Seaforce 49 is a sailing yacht built in 2007, with a length of 14.88 metres and a beam of 4.50 metres. She has a round-bilged hull, a steering wheel and twin helm stations. With a weight of approximately 19,000 kilograms, the boat sits steadily in the water. The Seaforce 49 is not a racing boat, but is intended for relaxed sailing trips and longer holidays at sea.

The boat was designed by the Dutch design office Van de Stadt and naval architect Peter Neceda from Bratislava. The sail plan consists of one mainsail with a furling system. The mainsail is in reasonable condition. Thanks to her stable position in the water and limited heeling, she may appeal to you if comfort and calm sailing characteristics are more important than speed.

Seaforce 49 is now available in the online auction. Everyone can place a bid until 19 October 2026.What are the main points to consider?The Seaforce 49 was originally fitted with a lifting keel. The mechanism for this keel is no longer operational. At present, the keel is positioned approximately halfway down. It can be lowered manually to its deepest position, but this is only recommended after the boat has left the Lignano lagoon. The water is shallow in the lagoon. Raising the keel requires considerable effort and should therefore not be regarded as normal operation. In practice, the boat is consequently offered as a yacht with a fixed keel in the lowest position.

There are also normal signs of use and wear consistent with the boat’s age of nineteen years. For a more well-kept appearance, repainting the hull would be desirable. The synthetic teak deck by Deck King is coming loose in several places at the front. Various cosmetic works and minor repairs are also required, depending on the standards you set for her future condition.

Several works were carried out in 2026. The four service batteries, each with a capacity of 180 ampere-hours, were replaced. The deck was also repainted, including the spoiler and the roof of the deckhouse. Antifouling was applied in 2026. In addition, the Victron Energy Phoenix MultiPlus was replaced.

How is the accommodation arranged?Inside, the Seaforce 49 offers six permanent berths. The owner’s cabin is located in the bow and features a shower, washbasin, automatic electric toilet and washing machine. The spacious galley is adjacent. It is equipped with two gas burners, an electric grill plate, a refrigerator with freezer compartment and a Miele oven with microwave function.

The saloon has a circular seating area with a kidney-shaped table that can accommodate up to eight people. There is also a television and radio. The navigation equipment can be operated from the indoor helm station. In addition, there is a second bathroom with an automatic electric toilet. A spacious double cabin with washbasin and manual toilet is located aft to starboard. To port, there is a cabin with bunk beds.

The boat has hot water, mattresses, a freezer and a dining area. The water tank has a capacity of 600 litres, while the wastewater tank holds 280 litres. The toilet discharge does not flow directly into open water.

Which engine and equipment are on board?The Seaforce 49 is powered by a single 2006 Steyr four-cylinder turbodiesel engine. The engine produces 114 hp, has a displacement of 2.0 litres and approximately 1,800 operating hours. It is operational and runs on diesel. The fuel tank has a capacity of 340 litres. The stated cruising speed is approximately 12 kilometres per hour, while the maximum speed is around 20 kilometres per hour. The recorded fuel consumption is approximately 5 litres per hour.

An electric bow thruster is fitted for manoeuvring. On board are a battery charger, alternator, inverter, voltmeter, shore power connection and solar panels. The electrical system operates at 24 volts. The four batteries have a combined capacity of 720 ampere-hours. A flywheel generator is also installed.

What navigation and deck equipment does she have?The navigation equipment consists of an autopilot, GPS, chartplotter, compass, VHF radio and log with speedometer. Engine monitoring equipment includes a fuel tank gauge, temperature gauge and tachometer. The steering and various functions can be operated from the tilting helm station.

On deck, you will find an electric windlass with chain, one anchor, pulpit and lifelines, a bimini, sprayhood, outdoor seat cushions, cockpit table, swimming platform and boarding ladder. At the stern, there is a concealed garage for a tender, which opens and closes using two electric winches. For safety, a lifebuoy is provided and the boat has an electric bilge pump.

Who might this boat be suitable for?This Seaforce 49 may suit you if you are looking for a spacious sailing yacht for holidays, relaxed sailing trips and living on board. She has been used at sea and has visited, among others, Croatian, Greek, Cypriot, Turkish and Italian waters. The spacious layout, twin helm stations and extensive accommodation make her suitable for longer stays with family or friends.

When searching for a boat to buy, it is important to look not only at the length and layout, but also at the technical points that require attention. Buying a second-hand boat calls for a realistic assessment of the required work, age and signs of use. This Seaforce 49 offers plenty of space and equipment, but her new owner will need to pay attention to the keel mechanism, hull finish, deck and the engine servicing required.

What should you look out for during a viewing?If you are looking for tips on buying a boat, it is advisable to pay extra attention during the viewing day to the condition of the hull, the loose deck in the bow, the keel position and the operation of the installed systems. Also check the interior finish, sails, engine compartment, electrical systems and access to the technical components. The accompanying documentation can be inspected during the viewing day.

The boat is located in Lignano and can be viewed during the viewing day. This is the opportunity to carefully assess her layout, equipment and overall condition. Take into account the work mentioned above and the fact that the lifting keel can no longer be operated normally, either hydraulically or mechanically. The Seaforce 49 is offered in reasonable condition and, following further technical and cosmetic attention, could provide a spacious basis for comfortable sailing holidays.
