Saffier SE 24 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Saffier SE 24 means looking at a 2023-introduced Dutch daysailer from Saffier Yachts, designed by Dean Hennevanger and built around electric propulsion and a trailable, easily launched hull. At 26 feet 3 inches overall with a 23-foot-4-inch waterline and a beam just under 8 feet, it is a light-displacement speedster rather than a pocket cruiser, and the used examples you find will reflect that original intent.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every SE 24 shares the same core hull: a wide body with flat aft sections and a long waterline, a deep L-keel of lead in one of three depths between 1.00 and 1.44 meters, and a fractional sloop rig with tiller steering to a balanced spade rudder. Below, the plan is consistent — a double berth forward, settees either side with space for a portapotti underneath, and a cold-storage drawer recessed under the companionway opening. Enclosing the aft cockpit is a large raised sun pad. Keel-depth choice is the main variable you will see among listings, with shoaler options suited to lake and tidal-shore sailing and the deepest giving more stiffness offshore.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, solar panels, a Code Zero, a self-tacking jib, lithium batteries, and both symmetric and asymmetric spinnakers are commonly fitted, reflecting the boat’s offwind-play daysailer brief. A short-handed setup is often seen, built around the all-aft-led lines and coachroof-mounted controls. Less common but present as owner upgrades are a gennaker and a chartplotter. For a buyer, the meaningful clusters are power and energy — factory solar with lithium upgrades extends silent electric-drive range — and sail handling, where the Code Zero and spinnakers turn light-air days into real speed without complicating the cockpit.
What to Inspect
The SE 24 carries a 3.5kW Torqeedo pod drive with coachroof solar sized to charge its battery, so on any candidate verify the solar array is intact and the pod’s battery accepts and holds charge. Because the boat is launched from a single lifting point and is trailable, check the keel-structure lifting eye and the hull around it for stress. The deep L-keel comes in three depths, so confirm the fitted keel matches the stated draft and that the lead ballast shows no impact damage from groundings.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats turn up across the United States, Germany, Netherlands, France, United Kingdom, and Switzerland. For a shopper, the takeaway is straightforward:
- Confirm the Torqeedo pod and integrated solar system function as a closed charging loop
- Match the keel depth to your sailing grounds and inspect the single lifting point
- Favor examples with the commonly fitted Code Zero or spinnaker and lithium upgrades for turnkey daysailing
- Expect minimal accommodations — this is a daysailer, not a cruiser
