You may be unfamiliar with the model or the builder, but the Sea Sprite 30 is a beautiful small cruiser with traditional style, good cruising accommodations for the size, and well above average quality inside and out.
The incredibly attractive Sea Sprite 30 was designed by Alfred E. Luders and built to the highest standards by C. E. Ryder Co. in Rhode Island. This classic yacht demonstrates traditional East Coast lines, and is sure to turn heads in any marina. This is not your typical thirty-footer - built strong and solid with a full keel and full length keel mounted rudder, and rigged as a fractional sloop it is a joy to sail and incredibly seaworthy.
This Sea Sprite 30 is in excellent condition, professionally maintained, very well equipped and upgraded, and is sold in ready to cruise condition. The current owner has undertaken an extensive maintenance and upgrade program and has spent over $100k in total since 2009. Full maintenance records and all improvements have been documented with receipts from 2009 until today speaks to the level of care this vessel has received.
Some highlights include an extensive set of matching and custom made navy blue canvas (approximate $10k in total, all in excellent condition), furling headsail, fully battened mainsail with lazy jacks and sailbag, chartplotter and autopilot, electric windlass, forced air diesel furnace, hot and cold pressurized water, refrigeration, two inverters, holding tank with macerator and overboard discharge, plus much, much more!

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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
