'Saphira' is a 2007 Delphia 33, listed exclusively for sale with YOTI on Sydney Harbour. This 33ft cruiser has many standout features that helped earn it the 2007 European Yacht of the Year award after its launch. A hand-laid polyester hull with vinyl ester resin, thermally and acoustically insulated cabin top, an extremely well-bonded keel grid, and a Jefa rack-and-pinion steering system are just a few examples of how Delphia prioritised build quality, strength, and durability over cost. Think Catalina character and space, but with superior sailing characteristics.
'Saphira' is a fantastic example, in great condition and with a comprehensive maintenance record:
She is set up for simple and easy sailing with a furling genoa, mainsail with lazy jacks and stack-pack. The Jefa rack and pinion steering system provides incredibly direct feedback at the helm, both when sailing and manoeuvring under motor. Her relatively deep 1.8m keel keeps her upright and gives her an edge over her competitors when under sail.
Below deck, the build quality and level of care are even more apparent. Beautiful, solid mahogany wood lines the interior, with large windows and overhead hatches to provide plenty of natural light. She’s a 2 cabin/1 head layout with a convertible saloon dinette, meaning she can comfortably accommodate 4 and up to 6 at a squeeze. The galley is well appointed, and the head is generously sized.
She is powered by a well-maintained 20 hp Volvo Penta with sail drive, showing only 591 hours.
A beautiful, easy-to-manage cruiser with a performance edge, this is a fantastic opportunity to secure a premium yacht at an entry-level price.
