This S30 with construction and sail number 22 is remarkable in two respects: Kauri is in good condition with a refurbished and mint interior crafted by the Wegener boatyard and a renewed engine with Lake Constance permission (high environmental and exhaust standard). Secondly, the boat comes with a 2 m longer carbon rig, power winches and new sails. It is ideally suited for single-handed sailing or for two. Update: Kauri is sold and now berthed in Bodman/Lake Constance instead of Radolfzell.

Everything, an experienced and demanding sailor would plan to upgrade, has already been done. The light-wind characteristics have been optimised with a two-metre longer carbon mast for runner-free handling. Added to that the painted superstructure, teak deck and hull in elegant dark blue.
Thanks to its 2.50 m beam, you can carry the boat on a trailer to nice European destinations, other lakes, the Baltic Sea or the Mediterranean.
The S30 is a robust and durable Swedish quality manufacture. It was built ground-safe for the archipelago, with plenty of rocks. Click here for more details on this type of boat.

Thanks to the shaft drive, there is no need for the annoying and expensive regular replacement of the Saildrive seal (seven-year intervals). A sporty, elegant boat with a comfortable and safe centre cockpit, headroom in the companionway, two berths in the forecastle, two in the saloon, two in the aft cabin. Ideal for a couple with occasional guests or the family. Children love having their separate kingdom aft.
The mast stands on the cabin roof. This makes setting and laying the spar easy. Further, this design saves the usual leakage at the mast through rain and condensation around the notoriously leaky mast sleeve.

Worth seeing new interior from Yachtwerft Wegener in natural teak – foto by owner
Interior Kauri
Finished in natural oiled teak with solid wood lipping. As can be seen in the photos, the surfaces are in excellent, almost mint condition with no significant signs of use. The yacht was overhauled a few years ago by the Wegener yard near Hamburg for 50 thousand €. Thereby, at the same time, the design of the cabin interior was stylishly retained.

All cushions in green Alcántara, stored at home over the winter, also for the cockpit benches and the aft cabin. The upholstery has hardly been used and is in almost new condition. Lighted clothes locker, crockery, cutlery, and glasses complete.
