Knoop 30 Pilothouse "Olanjo"
This Knoop (Doven) 30 Pilothouse was designed by respected Tasmanian naval architect Walter Knoop and built tough for southern waters. Her hand-laid GRP construction, pilothouse shelter and dual steering positions make her a capable and comfortable coastal cruiser for a couple or small family.
Below decks she's warm, comfortable and impressively spacious, with diesel heating, generous headroom and a practical layout that lends itself beautifully to extended stays aboard. With a private forward cabin, large quarter-berths, and abundant storage, Olanjo offers genuine liveaboard potential for those wanting an economical, well-refitted yacht to call home.
Powered by a 15hp Yanmar diesel, installed new in 2018. In the past 10 years Olanjo has benefited from major upgrades and consistent maintenance, including recent servicing, new water pump and thermostat, new batteries, fresh upholstery, and antifoul in Dec 2025.
A proven Tasmanian cruiser in excellent condition, ready for summer.
Located at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania.
