Shanta 900 KS now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. Shanta 900 KS (1991) - versatile 30-foot sailboat with centerboard, wheel steering, and recent diesel engine This Shanta 900 KS from 1991 is a practical and characterful polyester sailboat of approximately 9 meters, designed for sailors who enjoy switching between lakes, coastal waters, and shallower sailing areas. Thanks to the centerboard concept, this type is particularly interesting for the Wadden Sea, the Szczecin Lagoon, and similar waters where variable depths and grounding can play a role. With a beam of 3.00 meters, an air draft of about 12 meters, and a comfortable headroom of 1.90 meters in the salon, this 30-footer offers a pleasant balance between space, sailing characteristics, and accessibility. Shanta 900 KS now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. Hull, deck, and underwater hull: polyester base with a focus on user-friendliness The Shanta 900 KS is built in polyester, a material that has proven itself in practice due to its favorable ratio of weight, strength, and ease of maintenance. The underwater hull was addressed in 2025, with the old layers removed and rebuilt with multiple layers of epoxy primer and antifouling. There are no reports of osmosis. On deck, the teak details, the lifelines, and the sprayhood stand out, elements that contribute to comfort and safety while sailing and maneuvering. A distinctive feature is the fold-down transom that can serve as a swim platform, making boarding and swimming in an anchorage or harbor extra enjoyable. Sail plan and rigging: aluminum mast and multiple sail options With an aluminum mast and a sail inventory consisting of multiple headsails and mainsails, this Shanta 900 KS is equipped for various conditions. The sail plan includes a mainsail, jib, and genoa, with a roller mainsail and furling systems for the headsails. The sails are in reasonable condition and reportedly have customized sun protection, which is especially advantageous during longer stays and summer cruises. This makes the boat suitable for sporty sailing, as well as relaxed cruises where easy reefing and unfurling are important. Propulsion and performance: recent inboard diesel with saildrive An important selling point is the inboard diesel engine from 2025 with a power of 17 hp, electric start, and connected to a saildrive. With only limited operating hours (approximately 10-20 hours as stated), this is an attractive configuration for those who value modern engine reliability and efficient sailing in harbors, locks, and light winds. The diesel tank has a capacity of 65 liters. The cruising speed is around 8 km/h with a top speed of approximately 10 km/h, suitable for a 9-meter cabin sailboat in this class. A fuel tank gauge is present for basic monitoring on the way. Navigation and electrical: chartplotter, depth sounder, and solar panel For navigation, the boat is equipped with a chartplotter, depth sounder, compass, and log/speedometer, supplemented with wind measurement (referred to as a wireless system, yet to be installed). This package supports both inland and coastal navigation, where depth information and course stability are crucial. Onboard are two batteries and a solar panel installed, helping to maintain the 12V system while at anchor or in a harbor without continuous shore power. Additionally, 220V is available onboard via shore power connection, with 230V outlets for using common equipment. Interior and comfort: mahogany ambiance, heating, and practical galley Inside, the Shanta 900 KS offers a warm, classic atmosphere with its mahogany interior and spacious salon layout with a dining area. The headroom of 1.90 meters in the middle of the salon makes staying onboard comfortable, even during longer weekends. There are fixed berths for three people, with additional possibilities depending on the layout. For comfort in the shoulder seasons, heating is present in the form of hot air heating. The galley is practically equipped with a refrigerator, sink, and a two-burner gas stove, making weekend trips and vacations easy to plan. The water supply is ample with a total of approximately 160 liters (two stainless steel tanks of 80 liters each). Outdoor living and equipment: cockpit comfort and ready for weekend trips In the cockpit, outdoor cushions and the sprayhood provide shelter and seating comfort, while the large lazarette and deck equipment such as anchors and lines enhance usability. The boat has been used on lakes and seas and is suitable for day trips, leisurely cruising, sporty sailing, and weekend getaways. The salon windows were renewed in 2025, contributing to light and ambiance. Trailer and storage: storage trailer included The sale includes a storage trailer, which is useful for winter storage or site relocation. The trailer is unbraked and in reasonable condition. This Shanta 900 KS combines a shallow-water-friendly centerboard concept with a recent diesel engine, a complete navigation setup, and a comfortable cabin interior. It is an attractive choice for sailors looking for a 30-foot cabin sailboat for diverse sailing areas, from inland waters to the coast and shallows.
