Everyone can place a bid until 19 October 2026.What makes this Diamant 3000 so sporty?This Diamant 3000 owes her sporty character to the combination of a narrow hull, a relatively deep keel and a rig that encourages trimming and active steering. She responds directly to helm pressure and sail trim, giving you plenty of control and enjoyment as skipper, especially in stronger winds. The sail plan consists of a mainsail, jib and gennaker, with a genoa reefing system that makes it practical to reef the headsail. The mainsail was renewed in 2022 and is made as a performance triradial sail, making her particularly interesting for sailors who enjoy shape-retaining sailcloth and want to get the most out of a fast sailing boat.How comfortable is she on board for weekend trips?Inside, you will find a warm and classic interior arranged for practical living on board.

The manual toilet does not discharge directly into open water, which is a useful feature in many cruising areas. Because of her air draft of approximately 17.00 metres, it is advisable to check the bridges along your regular route in advance, especially on inland waterways.What engine is fitted and what can you expect?Under power, she is driven by a Nanni NK 2.45 HE 10 hp inboard diesel engine, built in 1999, with electric start and two cylinders.
