Are you interested in buying a Europe? As an ex-Olympic class, there are plenty of Europes spread across the country, with many still out there unused and looking for a new owner!
If you have a Europe you would like to sell, get in touch with us! The best place to advertise your boat will be on Facebook Marketplace via the the UK Europe Sailors Facebook group.
The main source of second-hand boats are those advertised on Facebook Marketplace. These are usually found on the UK Europe Sailors and the Dinghy & Dinghy Bits For Sale groups. Apollo Duck does occasionally advertise Europes available for sale too.
Synergy Marine has been building Europes in their Suffolk facility since 2023 - the first builder of Europes in the UK for several decades. The hull shape is a new design, developed by David Hollom, and has proven successful in recent years. All Synergy Marine boats are fitted with hardware from Allen Brothers, also manufactured fully in the UK!
As a passionate Europe sailor himself, Steve Cockerill and Rooster Sailing import brand new Europe hulls from Winner in Spain, the most succesful builder in the Europe class's history. Rooster also stock a range of Europe-specific parts, including foils, masts, booms and sails.
Some sailors chose to source boats from abroad. The primary source of Europes from the continent in recent years has been Van Laer Sailing. Pieter Van Laer in Belgium keeps a healthy stock of used Europes (ranging from well used to nearly new). The UK Europe Class Association currently has access to Van Laer's price list, so get in touch with us for details!
