2022 Dehler 30 One Design AVAILABLE NOW in St Barts. Priced below market value for a quick sale.

This is an exceptional opportunity to own a 2022 Dehler 30 OD right in the heart of the Caribbean racing circuit for a fraction of the original purchase price. Raced for just two light seasons around St. Barts, ‘Flying Nemo’ remains in excellent condition, professionally managed, and ready to race the upcoming race season.

The Dehler 30OD was named Sailing World’s “Best Offshore Racer” in the magazine’s 2022 Boat of the Year awards, recognized for its combination of build quality, shorthanded performance, and sophisticated design.

This modern offshore race-cruiser blends cutting-edge ocean racing technology with shorthanded efficiency. Reaching along at a comfortable 14-plus knots under main, A-sail and staysail, her high-volume scow bow and chined hull deliver jaw-dropping speed downwind while remaining remarkably stable and safe. All with the amenities to double as a capable cruiser while embodying the “racer-cruiser” philosophy Dehler set out to achieve.

Whether you target the Voiles de St. Barth, the RORC Caribbean 600, or fast shorthanded campaigns, Flying Nemo has CE Category A ‘Ocean’ rating and is ready to step on and race competitively.

Pricing reflects the owners’ motivation for a quick sale and the race Genoa being delaminated. Vessel is as advertised, priced well below market value and in excellent condition. Flying Nemo is your ticket to the podium! Contact us today for many more recent photos or for details on how to submit your offer. Are you ready to fly?

Vessel Summary

  • 2022 Dehler 30 One Design AVAILABLE NOW in St Barts. Priced below market value for a quick sale.
  • This is an exceptional opportunity to own a 2022 Dehler 30 OD right in the heart of the Caribbean racing circuit for a fraction of the original purchase price. Raced for just two light seasons around St. Barts, 'Flying Nemo' remains in Excellent Condition, professionally managed, and ready to race the upcoming race season.
  • The Dehler 30OD was named Sailing World's "Best Offshore Racer" in the magazine's 2022 Boat of the Year awards, recognized for its combination of build quality, shorthanded performance, and sophisticated design.
  • Standout features include a composite bowsprit with bobstay and padeye for tacklines to handle Gennaker and Code Zero loads, twin 200-liter water ballast tanks per side for stability with small crews allowing for an extra 200kg (440lb) on the high side in the form of water ballast.
  • The signature "Stealth Drive" system operated from the cockpit, in which the entire prop and prop shaft can be retracted up into the hull when not in use, eliminating drag and the risk of fouling on lines or debris.
  • This modern offshore race-cruiser blends cutting-edge ocean racing technology with shorthanded efficiency. Reaching along at a comfortable 14-plus knots under main, A-sail and staysail.
  • Her high-volume scow bow and chined hull deliver jaw-dropping speed downwind while remaining remarkably stable and safe. All with the amenities to double as a capable cruiser while embodying the "racer-cruiser" philosophy Dehler set out to achieve.

Accommodation

  • Despite its racing pedigree, the Dehler 30 One Design offers a surprisingly livable interior for a 30-footer.
  • Heading below, rather than the spartan racing interior one might expect, the layout feels far more like a modern cruiser, with trademark Dehler off-white, grey, and red trim, wood laminate saloon bench seating, and a centerline table.
  • Standing headroom reaches 1.82 m, and the boat sleeps six across a double V-berth forward, two aft quarter berths, and two salon settees.
  • All berths measure two meters or longer, a deliberate priority for the design team.
  • The galley sits to starboard and can accommodate a portable refrigerator, while the enclosed head is located to port for privacy.
  • The galley features a gas stove with electric ignition, sink with foot pump, and 12V outlet.
  • Interior components are lightweight and removable, allowing the boat to transition quickly from cruising mode to race-ready configuration.
  • White GRP sandwich bulkheads create a bright, open atmosphere, while the open-plan salon and ring-frame gateway to the forepeak further enhance the sense of space.
  • The result is a practical interior that serves its crew well offshore without carrying unnecessary weight.

  • A composite bowsprit with bobstay supports both the gennaker and Code Zero, while the inner forestay allows a staysail to be deployed for both upwind and offshore sailing.
  • Twin adjustable backstays provide precise rig tuning, while the cockpit layout keeps every control line within easy reach for efficient short-handed sailing.
  • Reviewers have noted speeds exceeding 14 knots under sail while maintaining excellent control in offshore conditions.

Chesnee Cogswell

By Chesnee Cogswell

Chesnee Cogswell was born on Tortola, BVI and raised on the water sailing throughout the Caribbean with his family as well as in Cocoa Beach, Florida where he caught the fishing bug. He has lived aboard many boats over his lifetime and has been involved in extensive refit projects of varying scope and complexity. Now back living full time in the BVI for over a decade, Chesnee is raising a family of his own.

He joined the team in 2018 as BVI Yacht Sales re-expanded its sales force following Hurricane Irma in 2017. Before joining the company, Chesnee was a very active charter captain for numerous charter operators in the BVI, giving him firsthand experience sailing a wide range of charter yachts across many makes and models. His experience also extends into the sportfishing world, having participated in numerous sportfishing tournaments as well as private and charter fishing programs over the years. These experiences have given him a strong advantage in the powerboat market.

Since joining BVI Yacht Sales, Chesnee has fully committed himself to his role, and his results reflect that dedication. He has consistently outperformed other brokerages in the Caribbean as an individual broker and, in 2025, acted as buyer's broker on the largest sale in BVI Yacht Sales history to date. His hard work and long-term commitment have placed him among the top-performing yacht brokers in the Caribbean year after year. This track record, combined with his leadership and experience, earned him the role of Yacht Sales Director, where he now shares his knowledge and helps guide the team in serving clients and selling more boats!
