Pointer 30 Buyer's Guide
The Pointer 30 is a 9.2-metre sporty weekend sailer from the Netherlands, built by Jachtwerf Heeg to a Bosgraaf Yacht Design hull aimed at shallow inland waters yet lively under sail. On the brokerage market she appears as a young design with a distinctive low-freeboard profile and a fold-down bathing platform, and a buyer should understand both her standard equipment gaps and the few finish points worth checking before committing.
Layouts on the Used Market
Most examples follow the open, bright interior with two leather swivel armchairs and a coffee table in the saloon, flanked by generous quarter-berths aft and a narrow forward V-berth sharing a door with a heads that has no sink or shower. A newer Performance layout announced after launch moves the heads and galley to either side of the companionway, so used boats may show either arrangement. Headroom is 160 cm in the saloon and 130 cm forward, and the galley on the standard plan uses a fixed sink and two-burner unit not gimballed, with a Nespresso machine recessed below.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Commonly fitted items on offered boats cluster around power, navigation, and deck comfort. For energy and propulsion, lithium batteries and a Torqeedo pod drive or Yanmar diesel are usual, with a chartplotter and autopilot supporting short-handed control; a code zero on the moulded bowsprit is a common sail addition. On deck, a teak or Esthec cockpit surface and a swim platform appear frequently, making the shallow-draught hull more comfortable at anchor and underway.
What to Inspect
The structural build is sound, but early hulls showed interior components not precisely fitted, with inconsistent gaps concealed rather than closed interior gaps on early hulls. The swivel armchairs sit wobbly on the GRP inner-shell foundation even with solid floor plates beneath armchairs wobbly on inner shell, so check their mounting and the surrounding liner for movement. Otherwise, the gelcoat and fittings were praised as flawless and high-quality on the test boat.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The Pointer 30 is typically found in the Netherlands. For a shopper, the short checklist is: confirm which motorisation and sails are included, as both are extra-cost from new; verify the layout version (standard or Performance); inspect the saloon armchair mounts and interior liner joints; and decide between the 1.25 m standard keel and the 1.75 m deep option for intended waters.
