Last year we decided to buy our own boat. We also visited the Interboot in Friedrichshafen and quickly realized that the trailerable boats there were too small for our imagination.
We ended up at Öchsner’s booth, where the new SR30 YACHTLINE was on display. The boat was much bigger and more spectacular than we had ever seen on competitors’ trailerable boats.
At the next Kürnach fair, we ordered the new SR30 YACHTLINE and a matching trailer.
On July 28, Öchsner delivered our SR30 YACHTLINE to us under the name Felicitas. We drove to Kürnach and enjoyed a day of theoretical and practical training. At this point, we would like to thank the company again for the timely delivery and very good briefing, as well as for the journey and the attention on the Main despite the flooding.
In the evening the SR30 YACHTLINE including trailer was weighed and we easily fell under the 3.5 ton limit, as promised by Öchsner.
The journey home then drifted comfortably into the night. The crane appointment was the next morning at around 10 a.m. in Uhldingen on the shores of Lake Constance. And the first launch! We were thrilled to see Öchsner follow all his tips and advice.
A great boat that stays very well in the water. Thanks to the WIDE-BEAM hull it makes for a quiet night even if the sea is a bit choppy.
We then enjoyed the rest of the season on the boat almost every weekend, sometimes as just a couple, sometimes as a group of four. We always stayed on the boat, which turned into a very pleasant yachting trip thanks to the separate cabin of the SR30 YACHTLINE. Staying on the boat with 4 people is absolutely no problem and everyone could find their place comfortably.
The engine power of the Volvo Penta V6 280 DPS is more than enough for Lake Constance. We decided on the bigger engine only because of our vacation in Croatia. Felicitas did not disappoint us except for some small things that we were able to fix ourselves in the first season. The build quality of the boat is very good. The winter is almost over and now it ended on April 1st. Felicitas is finally back in her own sea.
