Biga 26.1 Classic for sale

Here is a lovingly maintained Biga 26.1 Classic for sale. It can be viewed in Lauterbach on Rügen.
Here is the owner’s description:

Biga 26.1 Classic 1982– well maintained and fully equipped
Dinette version, retractable centreboard

Description
continuous refit from 2011 to 2022
Viewings afloat possible until 20 August and 5–8 September 2025; winter outdoor storage 25/26 paid.
We are expanding. We have often used the boat as a really cosy holiday flat right on the water.
The boat is ready to sail. Minor repairs crop up now and then. Hitch up, launch and enjoy :-)

Length 7.90 m plus bowsprit 8.30 m, beam 2.50 m, draught 0.85/1.40 m
Special features of this boat type: two hull windows and a forward window for a wonderfully bright bow cabin; we removed the wardrobe in the bow and so created more freedom of movement. The Brunner Polarys Freez SZ refrigerator 30 L 220v/12V is now housed there. We removed the three-way toilet for environmental reasons (it could be reinstalled) and live very well and odour-free with a bio separating toilet.
The berth width (100 cm) in the dinette can be widened to 120 cm by lowering the table, while there is still room to stand in front of the galley. This created a nicer, less cramped sleeping place for two.

High-quality Echtermann trailer, TÜV being renewed, included in the price. Because of its top equipment (three-burner stove, hot water boiler with outdoor shower, heating, 15 hp Vetus engine, electric anchor windlass and mast lowering system with stainless steel Jütbaum), the boat weighs 3.5 t including trailer.
VETUS M2.13 engine with two-circuit cooling and Lake Constance approval, factory-installed, no licence required as it is 15 hp (adequately sized), with only about 75 operating hours!

Refit photos from 2019–21, deck, sail and interior photos from 2020.
The boat has been specifically equipped for good sailing performance, while living comfort has also been continuously improved.
