Dufour 30 Classic for Relaxing Cruises
Why is this Dufour 30 Classic right for you?
This 1999 Dufour 30 Classic is an attractive used sailing boat for anyone who wants to sail comfortably on lakes, rivers, inland waters and coastal waters. With a length of 8.99 metres, a beam of 3 metres and a draft of 1.55 metres, she offers a fine combination of sailing performance, manoeuvrability and living space. The rounded hull shape, aluminium mast and tiller steering provide a classic sailing experience. The main sailing controls are easily accessible from the cockpit, making her suitable for a skipper who regularly wants to sail alone or with a small crew.
The Dufour 30 Classic has been used for day trips, weekends away and longer holidays. Her previous owner sailed her on the IJsselmeer, the Wadden Sea, in Zeeland and on the Braassemermeer, among other places. She has therefore proven herself to be a versatile cruising yacht for both sheltered inland waters and more expansive sailing areas. The spacious cockpit invites you to spend long days outdoors, while the cockpit tent provides extra shelter when the weather is less inviting.
Dufour 30 Classic now available in the online auction. Everyone can place a bid until 21 September 2026.
How much living space and sleeping comfort does she offer?
Inside, this Dufour has a practical layout with approximately 1.75 metres of headroom. There is a double berth in the forepeak, while the aft cabin also accommodates two people. The saloon has two benches around a table. Two additional berths can be created there, giving the boat a total of four fixed berths and two additional berths.
The cabin is equipped for comfortable stays during holidays and weekends. She has a galley with a cooker, oven, refrigerator and storage space. Mattresses are also included, as well as a chart table and a separate heads compartment. The manual toilet discharges directly overboard. The water tank has a capacity of 180 litres, while the diesel tank holds 80 litres of fuel. Thanks to these facilities, she is suitable for independent living on board, particularly if you enjoy spending several consecutive days underway.
Which engine and technical features are present?
The boat is equipped with a 1999 Volvo Penta MD2020 inboard diesel engine. This three-cylinder engine delivers 19 hp and has a saildrive. The stated engine hours are approximately 1,000 hours. The engine runs smoothly and consumes no more than approximately one litre of diesel per hour at normal cruising speed. Her cruising speed is around 9 kilometres per hour, with a maximum speed of approximately 12.5 kilometres per hour.
In 2026, the engine oil, oil filter and impeller were replaced. The engine has electric start and is supported by an alternator for charging the batteries. There are two batteries on board, with a total capacity of 140 Ah. She also has a battery charger, a shore power connection with cable and a 12V electrical system. The main switches are located in the aft cabin, while the control panel is positioned outside.
Which sails and navigation equipment are included?
The sail plan consists of a mainsail, a furling jib and a half-winder. The mainsail and furling jib are part of the standard equipment. The half-winder is an additional sail that was not originally supplied with this Dufour model. The sails are in reasonable condition and together offer opportunities for relaxed cruising as well as more sporty sailing. In 2025, a new furling system and a new forestay were installed.
For navigation and monitoring underway, the boat has a compass, depth sounder, log and speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge. Radar is also installed, and she is equipped with a VHF radio. The old GPS is present but no longer functions. The wind instrument is defective. In addition, the ceiling spotlights do not always work. These points should be taken into account when assessing the boat.
What deck and leisure equipment is included?
Outside, the Dufour 30 Classic has a spacious cockpit with cockpit cushions and a separate cockpit table. The cockpit tent provides extra shelter and makes it possible to leave wet equipment outside the cabin to dry. A sprayhood, covers, guardrails, fenders, lines, a bathing platform and a swimming ladder are also included. The self-draining cockpit and electric bilge pump contribute to practical use on board.
The boat also comes with a manually operated anchor windlass, an anchor with chain and line, a VHF radio, a lifeline and original Dufour plates, glasses and bowls. A Hydro-Force inflatable dinghy is also included. This tender shows clear signs of use and can accommodate two adults and two children, although four people will find it cramped. The dinghy has a 2020 Mercury outboard engine producing 3.5 hp.
Which documents and maintenance information are available?
The boat comes with a builder’s certificate, a purchase agreement with the previous owner and various manuals. These include the sailing boat manual, the Volvo Penta engine manual and a description of the equipment on board. The boat has always been taken out of the water during winter. In 2026, she was hauled out for maintenance and the underwater hull received an antifouling treatment. According to the available information, there are no signs of osmosis.
The current owner has owned her since 2009 and has carried out most of the maintenance himself. During the winter, the underwater hull was cleaned and treated, and the engine was prepared for winter. In spring, attention was given to the topsides. The Dufour 30 Classic is currently located on the Braassemermeer and is being sold because she has been used less frequently in recent years. This comfortable sailing boat is waiting for a new owner who can once again use her for relaxing cruises, family holidays and enjoyable weekends on the water.
