Sirius 32DS

Sirius Yachts is as a low volume, high quality builder of deck saloon cruising yachts. The yachts are hand built using the highest quality materials. The Sirius 32DS combines innovative design to maximise the use of space and high quality joinery work creating a luxurious cruising yacht which feels far larger than her 10m length. With two double cabins, a nice linear galley and elevated deck saloon with a well sheltered cockpit the design is ideally suited to cruising in northern climes.

Still with her first owners the Sirius 32DS MOONDOG was collected by her owner from the factory in Germany. Under the current ownership she has crossed the north sea several times cruising the waters around Scotland as well as the Baltic Sea and Norwegian coast. She has proven herself to be a capable and dependable cruising yacht with the self-tacking ‘Solent’ rig ideally suited to short handed cruising. Professionally maintained throughout her life the comprehensive inventory highlights include:

Deck saloon layout with full internal helm station
Double glazed deck house windows
Volvo Penta D1-30 marine diesel engine.
Volvo Penta 130S saildrive unit
Volvo Penta 3 blade, bronze, folding propellor
