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.
This one has the 75HP Volvos and is a rare shaft driven version. |
