Meet Ann, a compact 8.20-metre cabin sailboat that invites you to start making plans. She is built from polyester (GRP), has a round-bilge hull, and combines a sheltered cabin with a pleasant cockpit outside. With a beam of 2.40 metres and a draft of 1.20 metres, she is interesting for those who enjoy sailing on inland waters, lakes and sheltered coastal areas, while still offering a size that allows comfortable time on board. Ann is offered via Boatauction as a DIY/refit project; she was obtained through a government task and her further history is unknown. This makes her especially attractive to buyers who like to inspect for themselves, make their own choices, and work step by step towards a sail-ready result.
Ann is a cabin sailboat with tiller steering in the cockpit and a single rudder. Her round-bilge hull gives her a classic look and can contribute to a pleasant motion on the water. Inside, the boat offers two fixed berths, with settee berths and cushions present. The interior features wooden panelling and warm details, including an intermediate door with a brass porthole. Those searching for “8-metre cabin sailboat”, “polyester sailboat with cabin” or “compact sailboat with berths” will often find in this type of vessel exactly that combination of simplicity and potential that makes weekends on board achievable.
The boat is in damaged condition and has been laid up for a long time. That means she needs attention, but also that there is room to rebuild her to your own taste. On deck and hull there is atmospheric soiling such as green algae, which typically calls for thorough cleaning and polishing. In the cockpit there are wooden parts, including seating surfaces and a removable wooden floor grating; these will likely need sanding and refinishing. Inside, the cabin is untidy and there are signs consistent with standing idle, such as light damp and weathering. At the same time, the basic layout is recognisable and has atmosphere, which is exactly what many refit-boat enthusiasts enjoy—turning this back into a fresh, functional cabin.
Ann has an inboard Volvo Penta diesel engine, presumably an MD5, with a stated output of 8 hp and electric start. It is a single-cylinder inboard. The engine appears visually complete with hoses and filters, and in the cabin there is an electrical switch panel and main switch. Important to note: the operation of the engine is unknown and has not been tested, nor have the electrics and other onboard systems. For many bidders this is the key point where a viewing and your own assessment make the difference—especially if you are looking for a sailboat with a diesel engine as a basis for restoration.
The mast is currently lowered and lies over the deck and cabin. Standing rigging and boom are present, and the sails are loose in the cabin. For a buyer looking for a cabin sailboat with mast and sails, this is a good starting point, although it is wise to allow for checks on wear, completeness and tuning. The fact that the mast is already down can also make transport and the initial inspection more practical.
Outside you will find a deep cockpit with wooden floorboards, cockpit lockers and winches on the coaming. Near the companionway, double compasses or instruments are visible, fitting the character of a sailboat that was once intended to be actively used. Inside, the wooden accents and settee berths create a cosy atmosphere. With two fixed berths, Ann is mainly suitable for solo sailors, couples, or a parent with child looking for a compact cabin sailboat for cruising—provided she is made seaworthy again.
Ann is offered in the condition she is currently in. Review the photos carefully and preferably schedule a viewing to assess the scope of work, the condition of the GRP, the woodwork, the rigging and the Volvo Penta diesel engine yourself. Anyone looking for a characterful cabin sailboat as a refit project will find in Ann a boat with a recognisable layout, an attractive size and plenty of room to give her a new chapter.
