Delphia Sportina 680 Buyer's Guide
Shopping a used Delphia Sportina 680 means looking at a 22-foot Polish-designed trailer sailer from the mid-1990s, drawn by Andrzej Skrzat and built by Delphia Yachts with a lifting swing keel. These are light-displacement pocket cruisers meant for lakes and sheltered coastal waters, not offshore work, and the used fleet reflects that gentle-service history.
Layouts on the Used Market
Expect a compact weekender beneath a low trunk, sized to the boat's 8.2-foot beam and 19.68-foot waterline. The sandwich deck moderates the cabin climate, so confirm in person that the core is not soft or delaminated. The wetted surface runs about 193 square feet, and the boat's light 2,425-pound displacement with 474 pounds of iron ballast defines the small enclosed volume.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The fractional sloop uses 3/8-inch sheets throughout (22.3-foot jib and genoa, 55.8-foot mainsheet, 49.1-foot spinnaker), so verify the running rigging and the keel-lifting mechanism on each boat. Standing 26.25 feet tall at the masthead with a 5.9-knot hull-speed ceiling, she trailers and sails short-handed readily.
What to Inspect
Cycle the swing keel's pivot and lifting gear for free movement and corrosion, since a seized mechanism defeats the shallow-draft capability. At 562 pounds per inch immersion, confirm the 474-pound iron ballast is intact and the 0.92–1.22 foot draft range holds on the trailer and in water anchor. Tap the sandwich deck for soft spots, as the climate-moderating layup is the one construction feature called out. Her capsize screening value of 2.44 and motion comfort ratio of 11.0 are design traits, not defects, but check the fractional rig for worn 3/8-inch sheets.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Used Sportina 680s are most often found in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. For a viewer walking a specific boat, the short list is:
- Cycle the swing keel and inspect pivot for corrosion
- Confirm 474 lb iron ballast and draft range match spec
- Tap the sandwich deck for soft or delaminated spots
- Check 3/8-inch sheets for UV and chafe wear
