Saffier SE33 Life review: Achingly pretty luxury daysailer

• Theo Stocker
• August 30, 2024

Who says cruising has to involve long-distance voyaging? Daysailers are enjoying a boom at the moment, so Theo Stocker went to find out what makes them so appealing

Product Overview

Price as reviewed:.

Nine! Nine point five! Ten! Eleven! Eleven point five!’ Watching the boat speed climb into double figures in the gusts was addictive; we were broad reaching back up the Needles Channel towards Hurst Castle with a Force 5 up our stern, a smooth wake fizzing off the transom of the Saffier SE33 Life and the breeze was building.

I’m not going to lie, this was a fun test sail. You need to be pretty confident that the boat you’re selling is a good sailing boat, given the fact that you don’t get much else for your quarter-of-a-million quid with the Saffier SE33 Life.

You certainly don’t get much accommodation for her size, or even standing headroom for that matter, and nor do you get a kitted-out race machine either. So just what does this 33-footer offer that makes her so special?

As we set sail, Saffier’s founder Dennis Hennevanger explained that this is a ‘luxury daysailer’ that gives you the option to sleep on board every now and then if you so wish. This might sound like an expensive toy, but the yard is now building upwards of 160 boats a year, all of them daysailers of between 24 and 37ft. While the yard is adding its first proper cruising boat – the SL46 – to the range this year, there is clearly something about these daysailers that is striking a chord with the kind of sailing people want.

The Saffier SE33 Life is a completely new model to replace the previous, highly successful SE 33. When one arrived in the UK, I jumped at the chance to find out what this boat is all about, and whether it would really suit British waters. Dennis assured me it would, given that all the boats are tested on the North Sea from IJmuiden, rather than on the Dutch inland seas, but I wanted to find out for myself.

Understated elegance

At first glance, the Saffier SE33 Life (SE standing for Saffier Elegance), lives up to her name. Achingly pretty and with a daringly low freeboard, the first impression is of a boat with extremely clean lines with very little to distract the eye. Her layout is unmistakably modern, though understated, and has resisted temptation towards current fads to retain a timeless appeal.

Polished navy-blue topsides sweep aft from an over one-metre-long carbon bowsprit. Fine bows spread out to a wide but chine-free transom. The decks are mostly flush save for a small coachroof, atop of which sits a windscreen and a sprayhood that can be folded up.

From there a vast cockpit opens up with three distinct secetion; sheltered seating forwards, twin wheels surrounded by controls for all systems on board in the middle, and finally an extensive quarter deck for lounging in the sun and sipping rosé.

Core concept

This tells you a great deal about the boat and the concept that drives most Saffier models. As Dennis Hennevanger explained, ‘The concept grows out of four pillars: Simplicity of sailing and handling, but also of minimal maintenance; comfort for you and your guests on board, both in harbour and underway; safety in the construction of the boat, and the amount of stability she has; and finally speed – this is a boat that is really built for performance and easy, high speeds.’

With that in mind, a crew of three of us slipped lines on a June day that really couldn’t have been much nicer, and with wind due to build into the afternoon, we were looking forward to trying the boat out in a range of windspeeds. We started at the bottom end of Force 4 from the west, which gave us a good beat towards Hurst Castle, the ebbing tide adding to the apparent wind, giving us 17-19 knots over the deck.

Saffier SL 46 first look: a daysailer ready for fun sailing

Dutch yard Saffier has a reputation for stylish, quick daysailers. While their origins lie in their smaller 6.5m and 8m…

Mid-winter on the banks of the Rhine might seem like an incongruous time and place for a boat show, but…

In the flat water we were easily slicing along at almost 6 knots and 28º to the apparent wind. Crack the sheets a smidgen and sailing at 35º to the apparent got us into the low sixes, all of which was achieved with a beautifully light and balanced helm, seasoned with just a enough weather helm in the gusts to let you know where you stood. It was all delightfully composed, even if decorum says we should have been tucking a reef in.

Halyard and backstay tension and dropping the main down traveller kept things under control as the breeze built. What is noticeable about this boat is the amount of heel she would tolerate; in fact, on the wind, we didn’t find a point at which should let go – easily up to 45º of heel, though you’re not sailing her right if you’ve got that much on.

33 feet of pure sailing pleasure with as little distraction as possible. Photo: Paul Wyeth

This is in part thanks to her deep single Jefa rudder, from which there is no play in the steering system; her 1.70m bulb keel, giving her a displacement to ballast ratio of just over 40%, and her increased form stability from the wider aft hull sections. The fact that this boat, as most SE33s are, was fitted with the optional carbon mast and boom, carbon curved spreaders, rod rigging, and fathead main, means there’s very little weight aloft and plenty of power.

Perfectly balanced

This isn’t Saffier’s first 33-footer, and it is in her beam being carried aft that the difference between the new and old shapes can most dramatically be seen. A credit to Saffier, however, is how well balanced the boat has remained with this beam.

As Hurst slipped by, we tucked close to the castle for the posing value and to make the most of the ripping tide. The only downside was that we found a hole in the swirling water, crashing through a mini wall of water, sending the wave cascading aft into our laps.

This kind of sailing is highly addictive. Photo: Paul Wyeth

Whilst we had very little spray in the cockpit for the rest of the test sail, it is perhaps the downside of a fine bow, low freeboard and cockpit well forward that makes this a possibility. Our test boat, like most SE33s, wasn’t fitted with stanchions, though it’s an option that lifts the boat from RCD Category C to B. Most will only trouble themselves to mar the boat’s lines in this way if they’re worried about keeping themselves or their grandchildren aboard.

Easing the sheets, we fetched over to the Needles, nudging 7 knots under plain sail, before tucking into the stunning shelter of Scratchell Bay for a fantastic photo opportunity, where we could beat to windward against the backdrop of the Needles.

Manoeuvring here gave us a chance to get to grips with the sail controls, and it couldn’t be much simpler, making the boat easy to sail single-handed. With a self-tacking jib, there’s really very little to do while beating, and sail trim is handled by the two Harken reversible powered winches at the helm, with mainsheet on one and jib sheet on the other.

Add in seat backrests for real comfort sailing from the low side. Photo: Paul Wyeth

There are two sets of buttons each side by the wheel – the forward of which controls the winch on your side, and the aft controlling the winch on the far side. With controls for ‘in’ and ‘out’, you barely need to touch a rope, let alone a winch handle. If you did want to sail with the more powerful overlapping jib, these would be controlled by the manual winches outboard of the coamings, for which a willing crewmember would be helpful.

This works extremely well; the only downside to my mind is that finding the right button to press for in and out was a matter of trial and error initially, and slightly got between me and the immediacy of the sailing experience.

That said, I was much happier at hitting the right switch and getting the result I wanted by the end of our day on the water. If your crew start to get bored, you’ll just have to set one of the downwind sails. The steering position is good, whether you want to sit or stand. I did notice the lack of a guardwire to brace against when sitting outboard to leeward, so the angle of the quarterdeck was a good alternative. This would be made even more comfortable by the addition of the optional ‘gentleman seats’ – curved backrests that slot in around the helm positions.

A broad stern adds power to the hull, while a fine entry gives good windward performance. Photo: Paul Wyeth

Making headway

It was soon time to head for home – a not entirely straightforward proposition given the three-and-a- half knots of tide now hosing out of Hurst Narrows towards us. We set the 62m2 furling Code Zero from the end of the bowsprit to see if this would help, but we couldn’t resist the temptation of chasing boat speed rather than VMG.

We were soon making 8 knots at between 60-80º to the apparent, but making precious little headway against the tide. Enter the gennaker. Launched from the hatch, 95sqm of canvas soon got to work in our favour (you could add a snuffer for easier recovery). Immediately, the boat speed jumped up to 9 knots at 120-130º apparent wind angle. It was then that we could start chasing our top speeds, and make headway against the ebb.

Accommodation is beautifully finished, but basic, with space for four to sleep at a squeeze. Photo: Richard Langdon

The need for speed

Thanks to the vast spread of canvas and the boat’s light displacement of three tonnes, this is a boat that loves to accelerate. The gusts lift the bow, the wake drops away and the speed jumps by a knot or three. With the true wind hovering around 18-20 knots – a good Force 5 – we started chasing double digits, and topped out at 11.5 knots in flat water.

We may even have let out some whoops of excitement. I felt like I’d fallen into Saffier’s well-laid trap – this kind of sailing is highly addictive. Then a badly steered gybe by me put the gennaker around the forestay and it was time to drop the kite. Had we had some waves to surf and a bit more searoom to play with, I’m told the boat has been known to push into the high teens.

A hot drink and a basic meal can be made in the small galley, and there’s space for a coffee machine. Photo: Richard Langdon

Scary sailing? Not in the least. I did over-egg it once or twice and end up stalling out the rudder, in part because the mainsheet was too short and we couldn’t fully sheet out. In any case, they were sedate, undramatic broaches and we were soon back on track. All this time, the boat didn’t heel excessively, the crew lounged on the cockpit benches, and I had a grin plastered on my face.

Occasional overnighter

After all of that, I’m not sure you’ll really care that there’s not much by way of accommodation. The owner of the test boat told me that in the year he’s had the boat, they will often sail as far as Chichester or Studland and back in a day. There’s a big double V-berth forwards, a long settee to port and the short settee to starboard can be lengthed by removing the insert from the v berth, so that you could, in theory, squeeze in four friends.

Saffier prides itself on incredibly strong hulls. The solid laminate around the keel is 25mm thick. Photo: Richard Langdon

You’ll be able to boil a kettle on the induction hob and wash up your cups at the small galley sink. Clearly, as a Dutch boat, there is also an alcove designed to house a coffee machine. The heads offers just enough space to sit and do your business, with hanging space for wet kit aft of the toilet. Stowage is commensurately limited; there’s a large drawer under the v-berth, bins under the settees and small overhead lockers above the v-berth.

Galley stowage is confined to the companionway step locker, but storage on deck is more generous. The locker under the port bench had space for all our fenders and both offwind sails, while the lazarette is also spacious. At the bow, the anchor locker opens to reveal a fold-out bow roller, keeping the anchor hidden until required, complete with electric windlass.

Stowage in the accommodation is found in drawers and bins under the settees. Photo: Richard Langdon

Finally, while you can opt for electric propulsion on this boat in the form of a 12kW drive from Torqeedo, most sailors in tidal areas would opt for the range and reassurance of a diesel inboard, as on the test boat, which was fitted with a 15hp Yanmar via a sail drive.

Construction is in vacuum-infused isophthalic fibreglass, with solid laminate below the waterline, up to one inch thick in key locations, and foam core above the waterline. To keep the accommodation layout open and devoid of bulkheads, the coach roof and deck is reinforced with carbon fibre to maximise stiffness. This is an incredibly stiff boat that Saffier insist is pretty much bomb-proof.

You’ll have privacy in the heads, though not much space for undressing. Photo: Richard Langdon

At first glance, the Saffier SE33 Life might seem to fall between camps – neither ‘proper’ cruiser nor a real race boat. But as her owner told me, ‘I’m a dinghy racer at heart, so I wanted something I could really enjoy sailing, but was bigger, more comfortable and would cover decent distances.’ This boat is 33ft of pure sailing pleasure, with as little clutter as possible to distract from the fun of sailing her. The hull is incredibly stiff and light, the centre of gravity low, aided by the carbon rig, while the sail plan is powerful but remains easily handled. The deck plan puts everything at your fingertips, and the helm is beautifully engaging. Her low freeboard means she might not be the driest in rough weather, her accommodation is clearly very limited compared to some 33-footers, and the push-button sailing might take a little getting used to, but these feel like things that potential owners will shrug off as irrelevant.

Saffier Se 33 Life : Sporty weekender for sailing fun in between

Alexander Worms

 ·  19.09.2023

The measured values for testing the Saffier Se 33 Life

• The Saffier Se 33 Life in detail: technical data and more
• YACHT review of the Saffier Se 33 Life

At first there is a crackling sound, like when you open presents at Christmas. The sound is well known and comes with joyful anticipation and a certain amount of tension. There's a slight lull, followed by this muffled "whump". A jolt. Then pressure. Acceleration.

The stern lifts on a wave, you can see a gust rushing on the water, powering up, even more pressure, even more acceleration, even more speed, the gurgling from behind becomes a whirring. The mixture of joy and tension gives way to an initially undefined pulling in the lower abdomen. Is this going well or into the sun?

Then a look at the Speedo: 14 knots. Yes, it's running, the boat is gliding. It immediately becomes calm on board. No hustle and bustle. The tension gives way to pure sailing fun. The helmsman holds the ship in his hands, every slightest movement is immediately acknowledged with a course change. Gusts are actively driven, as are waves. If the two meet, there is an express surcharge. Gliding under gennaker. You should have done it once. It's good.

Achieving this highly pleasing state requires a combination of circumstances: an area with enough space, the right wind - not too much and certainly not too little - the right wave and preferably some sun. These conditions were found on the test day off IJmuiden. An old wave from the south-west, wind from the same direction around 15 knots and the entire North Sea coast of the Netherlands as a playground for the nimble weekender.

Competition from the Saffier Se 33 Life

• Esse 330: Hansdampf on all lakes in the YACHT test
• Sunbeam 32.1: Polarising designs - ugly or awesome?
• Tofinou 9.7: Pretty daysailer for individualists

Oh yes: the right undercarriage is of course particularly essential for rides of the kind described above. The Saffier Se 33 Life is just such a fun tool. That can be said at this point without giving much away. Because anyone who knows the brand and the people behind it will know that Dennis and Dean Hennevanger have never produced a boat that doesn't sail well. So it would be very surprising if the new 33 were any different.

The Saffier Se 33 Life is a weekender

Because it comes at an exciting time. Until now, the Saffier brand has operated in a niche - daysailers. But this niche is getting bigger, as are the boats themselves. A 37-foot daysailer? Just a few years ago, a pipe dream for the super-rich. Now on offer from Saffier.

Less time for one hobby, but more and more different leisure activities: For sailing boats, this means that they are more likely to be used in between rather than in the absolute way that many have grown up with on the water. A little sailing fun after work, a family outing at the weekend. All of this is usually rather short, and just as often without an overnight stay on the boat.

The boat must also be easy to handle and very accessible. The fact that this type of sailing is becoming increasingly popular is proven not only by the current sales figures for Saffers, but also by the fact that new types are constantly entering this market - especially in the category slightly above the pure daysailer, known as a weekender. You can even spend the night on it and make a coffee if you need to and the evening was particularly nice. There is also heating, a toilet and running water.

Jachtwerf Heeg has also recognised the trend and will be offering the Pointer 30 on. However, the biggest competitor for the latest Saffier, alongside the yachts from Tofinou, is certainly the Sunbeam 32.1 . Although it is much more extravagant, it ultimately serves the same market as the more elegant-looking Dutch model.

Prerequisite for the Saffier Se 33 Life: good sailing

During the test, it not only performed excellently under a large cloth at the front, but also when travelling uphill, i.e. to windward. Of course, Hennevangers didn't skimp on the details, but rather went all out. This means a 2.10 metre deep keel (1.70 and 1.45 metres as an option), carbon mast with rod rig and aft curved spreaders (price on request) and equally fine sails from Elvstrøm, also as an extra. Also logical: this ensures very good upwind performance.

With a wind of around 15 knots and an angle to the true (!!!) wind of 30 degrees, the speed was around 6.5 knots. If you drop only a few degrees, it's 7. If it has to be a little higher, you can still reach 6.3 nautical miles per hour. The figures should of course be treated with caution due to the slight current in the outer harbour of IJmuiden, although the measurements were repeated several times.

Whether with the help of the current or not, the Saffier sails very high on the wind. She remains very neutral on the rudder - typical of the shipyard's sportier SE line. And that even when the heel is already very strong. On the one hand, this is pleasant because it makes steering physically easier, but on the other hand, the helmsman must remain fully focussed at all times if he wants to keep the boat as close to the wind edge as possible. The good thing is that the more you sail with the boat, the more you get used to it, learn and interact with it. Then it also becomes less mentally exhausting.

Almost relaxed sailing on the Saffier Se 33 Life

Finding a comfortable seating position remains a challenge. Sitting behind the helm on the coaming is quite cosy, but unfortunately there is a lack of support when the heel increases. The teak block on the floor is barely sufficient to provide secure support. An outward sloping coaming could help here. Or some kind of folding mechanism with a bracket or in the floor behind the steering wheels. Steering from leeward is also possible. There you can sit on the aft deck and lean on the backrests, called gentlemen's seats (extra charge). This is comfortable, but then you can no longer see what is happening upwind. Definitely not an option in narrow waters.

Otherwise, operation is relaxed without restriction. Thanks to the two optional E-Rewind winches (extra), which can be operated from both sides, the helmsman can trim the sails conveniently at the touch of a button - headsail on one winch, mainsheet on the other. Which button does what is easy to understand. The backstay and traveller are deflected directly next to the helmsman. This means that a gust can be defused by pulling hard on the backstay, or pressure can be quickly applied to the sail with the traveller. This works perfectly.

By the way: if the helmsman is working on the starboard side, the optional second refrigerator in the cockpit is also accessible; the shipyard finds that at 33 feet the way into the cabin is sometimes just too far. Agreed. The lounge area in front of the wheels is very comfortable. A cockpit table (an extra) helps with picnics on the water and provides space for a glass of Prosecco. Practical.

Weekend living on the Saffier Se 33 Life

Below deck, you can see why the Saffier is so much fun to sail. A daysailer or weekender simply has to make fewer compromises. A large wet room? Standing height? A full galley? Nobody expects any of that here. This means the Saffier Se 33 Life can concentrate on the usual core competences of a sailing boat, which it does very well. Nevertheless, it offers more than just the bare essentials below deck.

Four people can sleep there in the Family version. Then there are two berths in the saloon and a huge sunbathing area (2.80 x 1.40 metres) in the foredeck. If this is shortened to a length of 2.14 metres, the path to the pump toilet below is clear. This is screened off from the saloon, but unfortunately not from the berth where the rest of the clan sleeps; privacy seems to play a less important role for families than for couples. This is because the Couple version has a separate toilet room. When love is still young, things can be a little more secretive on board. Well, as I said, this is a weekender and not a cruising yacht. Keyword compromises.

The workmanship below deck is high quality and the surfaces are harmonious. There is plenty of storage space, and the galley with induction hob is also perfectly adequate for a pasta meal. Opposite is the coffee bar (extra charge). It is very much in keeping with the Saffier idea: a hot drink in the afternoon and breakfast in the morning. And let's be honest: a weekend trip on a ship like this also includes dinner in the restaurant. Cooking and washing up afterwards? No thanks!

The feeling of space is good, as the Saffier manages without bulkheads thanks to carbon reinforcements in the deck. This means that there is still more hidden in the cabin than you would expect when looking from the outside. The requirements of a weekender are fully met.

The top dog

The Saffier is the epitome of the daysailer: solidly built, excellent sailing and with many pleasing details. At the same time, it looks good without being overly innovative. No wonder that 35 units had already been sold even before construction number 1 was launched. The version with a diesel engine costs from 213,010 euros, with an electric drive it is just under 24,400 euros more. But in return you get exquisite weekend fun.
