Her round-bilge polyester hull, deep keel and fractional rig give her that typical Diamant DNA: lively, close-winded and with tiller steering that really lets you feel what’s happening.

For those who enjoy weekend trips but also want to sail a solid beat now and then, this type of sailing yacht is often exactly the right middle ground between comfort and performance. Diamant 3000 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until 24 August 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 invites trimming and active helming. She responds directly to rudder pressure and sail trim, giving you as skipper a lot of control and enjoyment, especially in a bit more wind. The sail plan consists of mainsail, jib and a gennaker, with a genoa reefing system to reef the headsail practically. The mainsail was renewed in 2022 and executed as a performance tri-radial sail, making her extra interesting for sailors who like to sail with shape-holding cloth and want to get the maximum out of a fast sailing boat. How is the comfort on board for weekend trips? Inside you will find a warm and classic interior arranged for practical stays on board. She has four fixed berths, mattresses and a compact galley with a cooker. With a headroom of approximately 1.65 metres, she is mainly comfortable for seated living and for the use many owners put this type of performance cruiser to: weekends away, sporty holidays and day trips with the occasional overnight stay. The manual toilet does not discharge directly into open water, which is a pleasant feature in many cruising areas. With an air draft of approximately 17.00 metres, it is wise to check bridges on your regular route in advance, especially on inland waters. Which engine is installed and what can you expect? Under power she is driven by a Nanni NK 2.45 HE inboard diesel engine of 10 hp, year of build 1999, electrically started and with two cylinders. The engine is operational and provides suitable propulsion for harbour manoeuvres and calm motoring. A fuel tank gauge is present on board. The electrical system is 12V, with shore power and a battery charger, which makes staying in the marina and charging the service battery practical. Which navigation equipment and gear are present? This Diamant 3000 is equipped with navigation gear that suits sporty and cruising sailing well. She has an autopilot, depth sounder, compass and log/speed meter. On deck you will find, among other things, pulpit and pushpit seats and guardrails, contributing to comfort and secure handholds. An anchor is present. For safety there is a manual bilge pump and the cockpit is self-draining, fitting the character of a sailing yacht that has also been used on larger waters. Which points of attention are known for this boat? For this auction boat, several items have been mentioned that a buyer can include in their planning. The service battery needs replacement and the navigation lights should be checked. The guardwire shows wear in some places and the stanchion bases need to be secured. At the bow, light traces of gelcoat cracks are visible. There is a report of an old leak at the forestay, which has affected the interior in the bow. In addition, an engine shut-off valve shows light corrosion. These are important, concrete points of attention for anyone specifically looking for a Diamant 3000 sailing yacht with potential and room to bring her further to their own wishes. What is known about maintenance and documentation? She was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2025, and the antifouling treatment was also carried out in 2025. No indications of osmosis have been reported. In terms of documentation, the purchase invoice, CE declaration and CE declaration for the engine are present.
