5 used boats from 11 to 12 m
You will find classic-looking boats with long keels, wooden and fiberglass, cruising and sportier. But with one common denominator: they are family cruising boats, perfect for those who would like a second home by the sea but prefer the freedom of the boat to the brick. A safe used car: guarantees the Sailing Newspaper!
Hanse 370e – 11.25 m
The first of the used boats on display in our market is a boat that marked a turning point for the German shipyard Hanse. This Hanse 370e (11.25 m x 3.75 m) is a true cruising boat that combines comfort, reliability and good performance. Designed by the Judel/Vrolijk studio, it is distinguished by its epoxy construction, which guarantees lightness and strength, and a design that favors generous spaces both on deck and below deck.
The wide stern and raised freeboard offer great liveability compared to previous models, with a bright dinette, three spacious cabins, and a well-organized bathroom. Ease of handling is another strong point, thanks to the modern rig with self-tacking jib and full batten mainsail, which make sailing easy even with a small crew, without sacrificing a hint of sportiness.
This 2007 example, in excellent condition and owned by a single owner, is equipped to provide comfortable and safe cruising. Perfect for those looking for a well-built boat that is easy to handle and ready to sail.
Najad 361 – 11.20 m – Already ready for summer!
The second boat featured in our market is an elegant ocean cruising sailboat of Swedish origin: a Najad 361 (11.20 m x 3.50 m). Built to cope with long sailings in total safety, this model combines excellent marine qualities with a refined and comfortable interior
The teak deck and gunwale offer timeless elegance, while the solid mahogany interior lends warmth and a sense of ruggedness. Habitability is a strong point, with an underdeck height of 1.92 m, a spacious 2.35 m galley, three cabins and two bathrooms. Ample storage space and functional room layouts ensure comfort even during long stays on board.
Launched in 1999, this specimen has been carefully maintained by the current owner since 2008, with regular maintenance and three coats of antifouling in 2025. Perfect for those seeking a superior boat, also suitable for solo sailing, she combines safety, elegance and practicality without compromise.
X-412 – 12.51 m
We remain in the Nordic countries but this time we are aboard X-412 (12.51 m x 3.90 m), a boat from the Danish shipyard X-Yachts. Born in 1990 as a versatile cruising and racing model, it was a great success, remaining in production until 2003.
Featuring a streamlined hull with reduced wetted surface area, constructed of PVC sandwich with a solid steel reinforcement structure like all X-Yachts, the X-412 offers rigidity and safety in all conditions. This unit has undergone a major refit: in 2018, the Volvo engine, shrouds, Furlex furling, stopper, Selden whip, Garmin electronics, and all halyards and sheets were replaced. In 2024, wrapping of the dead work, teak refit, and cleaning of the diesel tank were performed.
The boat is ready at the buoy and visible at the Naval League of Trapani.
Grand Soleil 37 – 11.30 m
After touring shipyards in northern European countries, we return to Italy with a stunning Grand Soleil 37 (11.30 m x 3.68 m) from 2006. Designed by Botin & Carkeek and built by Cantiere del Pardo, she is a cruiser-racer that combines excellent performance with the comfort needed for cruising. Her design incorporates typical IMS solutions, with a slim bow and wide stern that ensure stability and responsiveness when cruising. The ergonomics of the spacious and well-organized cockpit allow for easy maneuvering, while Harken deck equipment ensures precise sail control.
This unit, with a white hull, has been optimized by Cossutti to further improve performance. Equipped with carbon rudder and blade, new rod (2024) and Tuff Luff (2019), she is ready to take on the sea with confidence and speed. The carbon tang (2022) and 2-blade Gori Race propeller (2019) complete its sporty setup. For life aboard, she offers 2 cabins and 1 bathroom, ensuring well-organized spaces and generous storage volumes. She is also equipped with solar panels, Windex (2023) and a sprayhood, ensuring comfort even on long sailings. Always maintained with care, she has received a 2025 antifouling treatment and a 2021 sea inlet check.
Elan 434 Impression – 13.40 m
We close with the last of these midsize cruising boats with a Slovenian boat, the Elan 434 Impression (13.40 m x 4.18 m) . With this model, designer Rob Humphreys inaugurated the Impression line for the Slovenian shipyard Elan, creating a boat with elegant shapes and generous volumes. Thanks to a wide beam, the interior spaces are spacious and welcoming, while the water lines ensure stable and safe sailing.
This 2007 model, in excellent condition, has 3 cabins + 1 Pullman, 2 bathrooms and a cozy air-conditioned dinette. She is equipped with Volvo D2-55 engine, bow thruster, Webasto heater, dual carbon-type steering, full batten mainsail, sprayhood and bimini, as well as full electronics. Teak cockpit benches for a touch of elegance. Visible in La Spezia by appointment.
