A compact, transportable sailboat
N'Fun Yachting has been building the N'Fun 30 in Poland since 2018. This sailboat, designed by architect Marek Stanczyk, has measured dimensions, with a beam of 2.92 m and an overall length of 9 meters. Although not roadworthy, it can nevertheless be moved easily, as its bulb keel can be raised vertically.
The headsail furler is mounted on a tilting balcony system, which also serves as a goat for lifting the mast, for rapid mast removal and to allow the mast to be lowered to pass under bridges in inland waterways.
With all these features, the N'Fun 30 is ready to take on the challenge of discovering new cruising grounds.
Quick navigation program
With its sandwich construction, the N'Fun 30 has a reasonable displacement, between 2.1 and 2.6 tons depending on the version. The version we visited, with performance sails, is designed for a sporty program, for which the bowsprit and 100 m2 asymmetric spinnaker provide a good base. The boat can also be used for lake cruising or coastal cruising.
Sober interior and angular design
Stylistic expectations differ from one yachtsman to another. The look of the N'Fun Yacht is perhaps a little stiff and angular, especially in the cockpit. Our version features a large steering wheel, imposing for the size of the boat, in front of which the mainsail track runs. The narrow forward section, close to the winch, is ideal for securing crew or passengers.
The rather wide side decks give access to the foredeck, equipped with an anchor locker and tilting balcony.
Inside, the vertical keel lift is a little cumbersome, taking pride of place in the middle of the saloon table. There are two bench seats on each side.
While a coffin berth accommodates a crew member on the port side, a bathroom is available on the aft starboard side. Forward of the mast sponge, the well-equipped galley is located on either side, with sink, hob and storage space.
A small forepeak, under the retractable bowsprit, will welcome a loving couple.
While a few details may be lacking, the quality of the finish remains acceptable.
The 2023 price list for the N'Fun 30 started at ?73,000 ex-VAT. The version visited, well optioned, exceeded ?180,000 before tax.
