Spacious sailing boat with newer engine – Launched April 24 Get ready for the season with a lovely boat at a sharp price. She will be launched on April 24, and shortly after the mast goes on. You are of course welcome to participate in both, if that's of interest. "Sunrise" is a non-smoking Elan 31/33 from 1987, currently moored in Sønderborg. I have owned the boat since 2016. The hull is originally 31 feet, but with an integrated bathing platform she grows to 33 feet – providing both greater onboard comfort and improved sailing characteristics. Engine and sailing performance In 2013 the boat was fitted with a powerful freshwater-cooled Volvo Penta D1 30F, which today has only logged approximately 750 hours. At the same time the shaft and the three-bladed Volvo folding propeller were replaced. The engine mounts are new from 2019, the exhaust elbow and coolant were replaced in 2024, the thermostat was cleaned in 2024, and in 2025 the boat received a new TruDesign hull fitting and valve for the seawater intake. This spring 2026, the shaft seal/rubber gasket has also been replaced. The boat is equipped with a torpedo keel fitted at the yard, which increases the draught from 170 cm to 185 cm and provides significantly greater stability. You can clearly feel that the boat sits well in the water, especially in fresh winds. The Elan 31/33 is already known for excellent sailing qualities; with the torpedo keel she has even better upwind performance and less heel. Rig and sails The sail wardrobe consists of a Quantum mainsail (I believe from 2016) still in very good condition, an older but functional spare mainsail, a genoa with a brand new UV strip from 2024, and a larger genoa (though this one needs a visit to the sailmaker before use). A nearly unused spinnaker is also included, and a lazy pack is fitted to the mainsail for easy handling. To secure the rig, new upper and lower shrouds and rigging screws were fitted in 2019, and in 2025 the main halyard and forestay were replaced. All halyards are led to the cockpit. Deck and cockpit The cockpit features a sprayhood in good condition and a sprayhood extension. Many boats use a full cockpit tent – on Sunrise you instead get an extension that provides shelter and keeps the area around the cockpit table dry, while still preserving the open cockpit so you can sit outside for most of the evening or during rain. There is a bathing platform with shower. In 2023 all wires on the pushpit were replaced. The boat has an Autohelm autopilot from 2021. Also included are a depth sounder, log (paddle wheel replaced 2026), wind instrument and receiver (replaced 2026), and a Chartmaster chart plotter. Safety netting is fitted to the pushpit (easily removable) and four cockpit cushions are included. An anchor with chain and rope is stowed in the anchor locker, and the boat has a holding tank. Interior and comfort The Elan 31/33 has a very modern layout for her age. The saloon is spacious with grey upholstery from 2019 and plenty of storage. The boat has two separate cabins – an aft cabin on the port side and a fore cabin – as well as additional sleeping berths in the saloon. The galley features a refrigerator with small freezer (great for ice cubes), a sink, a two-burner stove and oven (gas), and plenty of stowage space. The heads compartment is large for a boat of this size and has had the pump replaced in 2023, along with a shower with an automatic drain pump. There are two large fresh water tanks, new taps, water pump and hoses (2023), and a hot water heater that has been removed as I did not use it – but the installation is in place and the tank is included in the sale. For cold evenings an Eberspächer diesel heater is installed, but it is currently not working; I attempted a repair this winter but have not yet tested whether it is successful. It is included as-is, so you can either try the existing unit or invest in a new one. The remaining parts of the installation are still in the boat, making it straightforward to fit a new unit. Electrical system There are two domestic batteries from 2022, providing ample power to anchor overnight and sail on the following day. The starter battery is isolated from the domestic bank. Shore power is connected via the anchor locker. Safety and additional equipment Three self-inflating life jackets are included, and I also have some non-inflatable children's life jackets that can be taken by agreement. There is a life raft on board – it has not been serviced. A VHF radio with masthead antenna is included. "Sunrise" is berthed at Sønderborg Marina – contact me with any questions or to arrange a viewing. If transporting the boat home poses a challenge, I am happy to help and can potentially sail along or deliver her part of the way.
