Used Europe (International) Sailboats for Sale

The International Europe Dinghy, a single-person sailboat, has carved out a significant niche in the world of competitive dinghy sailing. Originally conceived by Belgian designer Alois Roland in 1960, the Europe began as a class-legal Moth dinghy before evolving into its own distinct one-design class. Built by the pioneering French firm Lanaverre starting in 1963, it quickly gained a reputation as a highly technical and responsive vessel, rewarding precise handling and nuanced sailing skills. Its ultimate recognition came with its selection as the single-handed Olympic class for women from 1992 to 2004, solidifying its standing as a premier racing dinghy.
