Seller's Description

This boat was designed by Ron Holland and was originally built by Jeanneu, in France, but the design was licensed to Cal Yachts for this specific model.

There are signs of its performance capabilities all over. Not many 30-footers have double spreaders. The aluminum mast extends through the deck and is keel-stepped. It’s also hard to miss that the shrouds are solid, stainless steel rods- as opposed to wire used on most boats.

It was almost exclusively used as a daysailer and was hauled out every winter. It was bottom painted last in 2019. The 11 gallon fuel tank was only filled twice in the last 30 years (very low hours). The Atomic (5411) diesel engine was serviced regularly and there is a brand new Oberdorfer pump on it. I have a video of it running if anybody wants to see it in action.

The deck is closed-cell foam cored (instead of balsa), making it lighter and impervious to water damage and soft spots. The hull, keel, rudder and rigging are in great shape. There are no leaks or soft spots anywhere on the boat. The displays for the wind and multi instruments need replacement (the server and transducers are fine).

The fuel tank holds 11 gallons; the fresh water tank holds 21.

There are 2 double berths and 2 single berths, so it can sleep up to 6 people.

The sails- main, jib and genoa, are in good shape. Tuff luff system for the headsails on main forestay. Adjustable (unattached in photos) baby stay, and adjustable backstay. All lines are led aft to the cockpit. Barient 10 winch on the mast. Barient 18 on each side of the coachroof. Barient 25, for jib/genoa, on each side of cockpit. Two jib/genoa tracks on each side. Red bimini is currently stored in quarter berth. 5 clutches.

If I forgot to mention something, or if you want to see more photos or have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. And if you live in the area and want to take a look before making an offer, let’s coordinate.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.0 kn
Classic: 6.63 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

7.0 knots
Classic formula: 6.63 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
14.9
<16: under powered

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
14.88
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
36.5
<40: less stiff, less powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

36.47
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
291.1
275-350: heavy

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
291.11
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
26.2
20-30: coastal cruiser

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
26.21
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.88
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Alternate tall rig:
I: 37.0’
J: 12.0’
P: 32.0’
E: 14.3’
Replaced with another 30 footer, the CAL 2-30, in 1968.
