Delphia yachts

[Seven Spades]

We looked at these quite seriously a few years ago and felt that they were well made but concluded that as an "unknown" brand that re-sale values would be poor. It was a wise decision, however they do come up second hand from time to time and I think that they are a worthy boat. It was the 47 that we were looking at.

I have own Delphia 37 for two years before moving up to Delphia 40.3 in 2010.
I strongly believe that they are better quality, stronger and more seaworthy yachts than others in similar price range.
Contemplating moving up to Delphia 47 or Delphia 46cc in year or so.
I did quite extensive research before choosing the Delphia 37 in 2008, this boats are modern but build with sailing big seas, with the structural grid fully glassed to the hull made of vinyl ester resin and Airex close cell rigid foam above waterline and on decks, there will be never issue with moisture and delimitation with is problems on boats built with balsa in sandwich.
Last year Delphia 40.3 finished single handed around the world voyage via Cape Horn , in roaring forties , not many production boats accomplished this type sailing.

I bought a Delphia 29 new about five years ago. I still have it and I love it. What else do you want to know, if anything?

Just bought one, any chance of a chat or email conversation?

I owned for a couple of seasons a Sunfast 3300, and they are all built in Poland by Delphia. Cracking boat (22 knots in a 33'er?), but somewhat lightly built: The interior used to move around a bit, and there were hull failures around the bulkheads. I didn't try it but apparently even a very light grounding would require major surgery. Balast tanks and main hatch leaked which is a bore. I don't regret it at all
