Description
For Sale: 1978 Europa 3000 Sailing Yacht fitted with 2004 Volvo MD2020 - Lying West Sussex
This 1978 Europa 3000 is a well-regarded 30-foot sailing yacht, designed by Chris Freer and built by Europa Sailcraft, a UK-based builder known for producing reliable and capable cruising yachts during the 1970s and 1980s. The Europa 3000 stands out for its high freeboard, well-balanced hull, and practical deck layout, making it a solid choice for both coastal cruising and extended passages.
Often described as a medium displacement fast sloop, the Europa 3000 offers a good balance of performance and comfort. Her design lends itself to both enthusiastic sailors looking for responsiveness under sail, and more relaxed cruisers seeking stability and ease of handling. The boat’s generous beam gives her a surprisingly spacious interior for a vessel of this size, with accommodation featuring a forward cabin, saloon berths, a practical galley, and a dedicated heads compartment — ideal for weekend cruising or even longer trips.
The rig setup is straightforward and manageable, often praised for its simplicity and efficiency, making her a great step up for those moving on from a smaller yacht.
With her timeless lines and capable sailing performance, this Europa 3000 offers an ideal platform for someone looking to enjoy affordable cruising with all the charm of a classic British-built yacht.
