This 1997 Etap 30i is a owner’s boat that has benefited from thorough maintenance over the past years. It’s the type of vessel that’s appreciated to discover when most of the major work has already been carried out.
The standing rigging was replaced in 2023, along with the seacocks and exhaust elbow. The saildrive was overhauled in 2022, providing added safety on a component often scrutinized by buyers. More recently, the boat received a new mainsail in 2024, equipped with three reef points, a substantial investment that will allow its future owner to sail confidently for many seasons.
The propulsion is provided by a Volvo Penta 20 horsepower engine, perfectly suited for this vessel. On the equipment side, the boat is fitted with two autopilots, a VHF, a depth sounder as well as dedicated engine and house batteries.
The overall impression is very positive, with consistent maintenance and renewed equipment at key points. It appears to be a vessel that has been used carefully and prepared to continue sailing rather than just being sold.
A clean, well-balanced sailboat and particularly attractive for a sailor looking for an immediately ready-to-sail vessel, with no major work to be done. A very nice boat to discover.
