Seller's Description

This is the perfect boat if you want to try your hand at racing but still want to go to Catalina Island for the weekend.

Sails (all sails are Ullman unless specified) Main Current Main (Dacron) - purchased 2015 still has a few races in it Old Main (Dacron) - purchased 2006 - Will work for delivery and cruising Original Main (Dacron) - purchased date: ?? Will work for delivery and cruising

155% Current #1 purchased 2015 (Carbon Fiber) Still has a few races in it Old (spare) #1 purchased 2006 (Carbon Fiber) - damaged/repaired will work for delivery and cruising

140% Current #2 purchased 2019 (Carbon Fiber) very few hours on this sail

100% Current #3 purchased (Quantum) in 2016,

Symmetrical spinnakers Several very old .5 oz - good for practice and cruising (unknown sailmakers) 2011 AP .5 oz - good backup for racing 2015 AP .5 oz - primary race spin 2015 AP .75 oz - not many hours on this one

Asymmetrical spinnakers 2006 .5/.75 hybrid - getting old but still pulls hard in the right conditions not used very often ???? .75 oz purchased used, cloth is in great shape

Jib top 2019 very low hours

Wind Seeker and daisy sails 2006 (Carbon) wind seeker still in great shape ???? Dacron daisy sail

Electronics Auto Pilot B&G Vulcan 7 chart plotter (2) B&G Triton repeaters (port and starboard) Standard horizon GX2150 VHF radio with DSC/AIS (integrated into the B&G network) B&G masthead sensors (windspeed and direction) B&G through hull sensors (water speed, depth, temp) Electronic compass (integrated into B&G network) Electronic compass (stand alone displays on mast)

Electrical Newly designed breaker panel All new LED lights Two bank battery charger Starting and house batteries both (AGM)

Interior All varnished wood has been refinished (looks like a new boat) Settees have been reupholstered Head rebuilt in 2024

Exterior Bottom painted Sept 2024 (Pettit Black Widow Racing Anti-Fouling Paint) All running rigging has been maintained and in good shape Hood wood rails have been replaced Two old school compasses (port and starboard)

Engine Yanmar 2GM20 - well maintained Folding prop

Race Record (too extensive to list so this is just the highlights) PHRF ratings- Windward/Leewards 120 Off-Wind 123 Newport to Ensenada (class winner, placed and has always been competitive) Around Catalina Island Race (Cabrillo Beach - Dana Point) numerous First Place in class and First over All (corrected time). Dana Point Series - Most years first in class Midwinter Race Regatta - wins or very competitive depending on how the class breaks are made

Notes: This is just an amazing boat to sail regardless of what you are doing or where you are going. She points high into the wind and remains balanced when the right sails are used. Very dry boat and handles light winds as well as heavy. We are selling her because after over 20 years of racing her it is time for us to make a change in our lives.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.3 kn
Classic: 6.76 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

8.33 knots
Classic formula: 6.76 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
20.2
>20: high performance

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.
20.22
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
35.6
<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

35.55
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
176.5
100-200: light

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
176.5
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
16.8
<20: lightweight racing boat

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
16.82
<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
2.2
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.19
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

The Santana 30-30 was designed to the MORC rule.
This version, the SANTANA 30-30PC = (Performance Cruiser). About 40 produced.

An updated PCII version featured the following:

Yanmar Diesel Engine.
Chainplates were moved outboard to allow the #3 jib to be sheeted inside the shrouds.
Interior has lower settee to allow for better headroom.
Angle brackets were added to reinforce the bulkheads.

The Grand Prix Racing edition referred to as the GP was introduced in 1983.
(See: SANTANA 30-30GP)
This model had a lighter deck. Ballast 2435 lbs., displacement 6000 lbs.
40 of these were built.
All boats built after 1985 have elliptical keels and rudders.
All versions were delivered with the same rig.
Other variations:
Some boats were delivered with an open transom.
