The Atalanta 30, often identified in Scandinavian archives as the Atalante 30, is a seminal piece of Danish maritime history designed by the legendary Peer Bruun. Emerging in the mid1970s—the same era that saw the birth of Faurby Yachts—this model was part of a wave of "Made in Denmark" vessels that prioritized extreme seaworthiness and handfinished interiors. While Bruun is perhaps most famous for his "whale" series (the Spekhugger and Grinde), the Atalanta 30 was conceived as a more traditional offshore cruiser, offering a balance between the highperformance hulls of his smaller designs and the volume required for extended family voyaging. Constructed primarily at the Atalanta Både yard in Aarhus, the boat remains a testament to the robust GRP (glassreinforced plastic) standards of the time, characterized by thick laminates and heavy, reliable ballast ratios.
