Overview
About this vessel
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. Over the past 10 years Olanjo has benefited from major upgrades and consistent maintenance, including recent servicing, a 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.
