About the DIAMANT 3000
First called DYNAMIC 3000. Offered with Standard and 'Lake' rig. (Rig dimensions for standard listed here.) Sail Area (Standard): Main: 29.90m2/322 sq.ft. Genoa 29.65m2/319 sq.ft. Jib (self tacking) 16.29m2/175.3 sq.ft. Spinnaker 85.0m2/915 sq.ft. In 2000? a new version was offered called simply DIAMANT, with modernized keel, rudder and rig.
The Diamant 3000 is a compact, performance-oriented cruiser designed by Jan Kjaerulff and built by Ott Yacht GmbH (GER) between 1988 and 1998, with a total production of 50 hulls. Its fractional sloop rig and fin keel configuration reflect a design philosophy focused on agility and efficient sailing within its 34.09 ft LOA footprint.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who prioritize sailing performance and ease of handling over heavy bluewater displacement. Its relatively light displacement of 6173.0 lb and high SA/D ratio of 23.61 make it particularly appealing to those seeking a responsive, easy-to-sail package for bay and coastal waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low D/L ratio of 136.49 and a capsize ratio of 1.79, the Diamant 3000 is better suited for protected coastal cruising than serious offshore passage-making, as its light displacement and narrow beam of 8.2 ft may compromise stability in heavy seas.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 34 and the O'Day 34, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, fin keels, and target the same market of performance-minded coastal cruisers from the late 1980s and 1990s. These vessels offer similar dimensions and sailing characteristics, making them direct competitors in the used market.
