Faurby 330 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used Faurby 330 means looking at a design from Niels Peter Faurby, built by Faurby Yachts A/S from 1990. She is a 32.74-foot fin-keel monohull of sandwich fiberglass construction with a lead keel, and on the brokerage market she presents as a modest-displacement coastal cruiser-racer rather than a heavy voyager. Her 9,259-pound displacement and 3,748-pound lead ballast, with a 40 percent ballast ratio, define the feel you get aboard; the 5.58-to-5.88-foot draft keeps her in most marina slips.
Layouts on the Used Market
The 330 was produced with a teak interior of above-average headroom, consistent with Danish yachts of the period. She carries 21 gallons of water and 14 gallons of diesel in built tankage, which tells you the layout favors short coastal hops over extended independence. The sandwich hull-and-deck build improves the cabin climate, so a used example should feel dry below if the gelcoat and core have been maintained. No alternative interior plans exist beyond the standard teak arrangement and the multiple rig choices offered when new.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
What matters most on a used 330 is the drivetrain and rig. The boat left the yard with a Yanmar 2GM20SD diesel turning a saildrive, and with either a fractional rig or an alternative fractional rig under 625 square feet of sail. A buyer should confirm which rig is fitted and whether the saildrive seals have been serviced, since that transmission type is age-sensitive. Beyond those, the modest tankage means any cruising-minded owner will have added capacity or systems, but the consequential items remain the engine, the drive, and the standing rigging of the chosen fractional plan.
What to Inspect
The construction is hand-laid fiberglass in sandwich form for both hull and deck anchor, so survey the core for delamination or moisture at through-hulls and chainplates. The lead fin keel should be checked for keel-bolt integrity and any grounding damage given the 5.58–5.88-foot draft. With a saildrive transmission, inspect the rubber diaphragm and the surrounding fiberglass for weeping or cracking. The 871 pounds-per-inch immersion rate means load changes sit her noticeably deeper, so verify the stated draft against actual trim.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
No regional market data is available for this model. For a buyer, the short list is: confirm the rig variant and its condition, service the Yanmar saildrive, survey the sandwich core, and check keel attachment. She is a tidy, well-found small cruiser if those points are clean.
