Saffier SE 33 Life Vorführschiff

Daysailer built in 2023

Modern, elegant and sporty daysailer built by the renowned yard Saffier Maritiem in IJmuiden on the Dutch coast of the North Sea. The Saffier SE 33 Life delivers pure sailing pleasure, combining performance with remarkably straightforward, easy handling. All halyards, sheets and control lines are led aft to the two winches positioned ahead of the twin helm stations. This clever deck layout and the self-tacking jib render the yacht genuinely suited for single handed sailing. Despite the clear focus on performance, the generous cockpit offers ample seating for guests and, thanks to the twin wheels, provides free and unobstructed access aft to the open transom and aft deck. A YANMAR 2-cylinder inboard diesel provides reliable auxiliary power and ensures effortless harbour manoeuvring. The Saffier SE 33 Life was named European Yacht of the Year 2022 in the “Special Yachts” category.

We are offering our 2023 demo yacht for sale. The yacht has been used solely for a small number of boat shows and sea trials on the Baltic Sea. Hull and deck finished in white gelcoat with black decoration. Extensive specification including carbon fibre mast with rod rigging and bent carbon spreaders, T-shaped racing keel (draught: approx. 2,10 m), B&G autopilot, electric HARKEN Rewind winches, sail upgrade to ELVSTRÖM EPEX, gennaker and Code-0 including gennaker gear and fixed bowsprit, cockpit cushions, etc. The Saffier SE 33 Life “DIAMOND” is currently stored ashore in indoor winter storage here in Laboe and may be inspected at any time by prior arrangement.
