Princess 30 DS Information
I had a visit to Norfolk Yacht Agency on Friday. This was the 3rd Princess Survey booked in over the last 3 weeks. Popular boats this Bernard Olensinski design and is still a modern looking craft. Originally
built in 1980 the DS model was known as Deck Saloon, giving the craft
extra berthing within the wheelhouse. The S model was usually an open
cockpit design with 4 berths. There were also some Fly Bridge models
built.
The boat hull with its semi deep V hull has a good reputation for its sea keeping qualities. All craft but a few were out driven with single and twin petrol and diesel versions available. Marine projects built around 900 of the craft and claim top speeds of around 25 knots.
