Van de Stadt Vita 30 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Van de Stadt Vita 30 is a robust 9meter cruiser designed for both professional and amateur construction, utilizing the renowned Dutch firm’s "multichine quick assembly" method. Conceived by Van de Stadt Design as a modern alternative for sailors whose budgets might not stretch to the larger Van de Stadt 34, the Vita 30 (Design No. 409) prioritizes structural integrity and internal volume. Unlike many production yachts of its era, the Vita 30 was engineered to be built in a variety of materials, most commonly steel or aluminum using frameless fairing techniques, though a woodepoxy roundbilge version was also developed for those seeking a lighter, more traditional hull form. This flexibility has resulted in a fleet where individual vessels vary significantly in displacement and finish, though they all share the signature seaworthiness associated with the Van de Stadt name.
