The Ronautica RO330 was imported in to the UK and marketed as the Europa RO330 for a while. The RO330 is primarily a fast family cruiser in the same vein as the First 310, First 31.7, First 33.7, Sun Fast 32 or X-302. She has a well-ballasted hull and high ballast ratio (40%) with a reasonably large sail area. "Rondo" is a very good example, presented in excellent condition, with the larger 29hp engine, feathering propeller and recent sails. "Rondo" has proved herself to be a competitive boat locally while still providing excellent accommodation with hot and cold water and central heating. For those wishing to do some competitive sailing, Rondo has a 2025 IRC rating of 0.919.
