Saffier SE 24 Lite to debut at 2025 Sanctuary Cove boat show
The Dutch daysailing brand’s award-winner is heading Down UnderThe reigning European Yacht of the Year, the Saffier SE 24 Lite, will make its Australian debut at the 2025 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) on May 22
Marketed as ‘A Sailboat Driven by Nature’, the SE 24 Lite is designed to be entirely self-sufficient, whether under sail or motor.
The yacht’s integrated solar panels on the foredeck power an electric drive system, while the local premiere will showcase the first example of the SE 24 Lite in a grass-green custom gel coat.
According to local Saffier dealer, Carbon Yachts, the next SE 24 Lite arriving in Australia will feature a ‘traffic orange’ finish, underscoring the growing demand for personalised design options.
"At Carbon Yachts, we’ve seen tremendous enthusiasm for Saffier Yachts and the concept of daysailing, which reflects a growing shift in how Australians enjoy their sailing," said Mary Bickley, Sales Manager for Carbon Yachts.
"The SE 24 Lite is not just a beautiful sailboat: it’s a statement about the future of sailing – eco-conscious, self-sufficient and designed with the modern sailor in mind."
