Description
The Etap 30 is regarded by many as the best yacht Etap produced, she was far ahead of her time in many respects including her easily-driven hull which was designed by Jacques de Ridder. The Etap 30 was far and away ahead of most other 30ft cruisers when she was first launched in 1983, with delightful handling on all points of sail and is still a fairly fast cruiser for her length.
Down below is spacious and comfortable with a good sized saloon and galley area, and can accommodate five berths with a forward double cabin and three saloon berths including a quarter berth. There is a heads compartment amidships offering good useable space.
This particular Etap 30 is in good overall condition and is well maintained by the current owner having had brand new standing rigging in December 2022 along with new mast step, Hull has been professionally repainted (November 2022), New spray hood and sail cover (September 2022), All interior upholstery (covers and foam) have been renewed.
There is the option to take over the berth with this yacht, which is located in Poole harbour, subject to separate negotiation.
