Seller's Description

Engine: Atomic 4 gasoline engine, rebuilt 2003 1,291 hours

Tankage: 20-gallon fuel tank 40-gallon water tank 6-gallon holding tank

Designed by Olin Stephens and built by Tartan Marine, more than 600 Tartan 30s were built between 1971 and 1980. The T-30 has graceful sheer, a reverse transom, an uncluttered deck, and is trimmed conservatively with side teak and railings. At 30 feet long and 10 feet wide, the proportions are perfect. Alize, Tartan #96, can sleep six: two in the forward berth, two in the main cabin double berth, and there are two bunks aft on each side of the boat. The main salon is roomy and spacious with 62 headroom, plenty of storage space, and four large windows for plenty of light. Navigational electronics are easily accessible from the cockpit while cruising via a swing-out platform. A large hanging locker is opposite the head with toilet and sink. The toilet is connected to a 6-gallon holding tank. The Atomic 4 engine is placed low in the center of the cabin for easy access and maintenance. The galley in Alize is on the starboard side of the main cabin with plenty of counter space, storage, and access. She is set up for easy single-handing, and beautifully balanced when under sail. Alize is a very special boat with good bones. She has a new Garmin GMR-18 radar system (great for cruising on Long Island Sound), and an Atomic 4 engine rebuilt in 2003. This is a well-known, comfortable cruising boat that has the highly valued starboard kitchen layout, can sleep 6 without crowding, and sails beautifully in all conditions. Alize has cruised extensively from the Hudson River, the New Jersey shore, and up to Maine. This is a classic good old boat that has been well cared for and maintained for nearly 50 years. The current owner is selling the boat regretfully due to a medical problem. The boat has been on the hard since October 2019 and did not sail in 2020.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.1 kn
Classic: 6.6 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

7.1 knots
Classic formula: 6.6 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.9
16-20: good 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.
16.92
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
41.1
>40: stiffer, more 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

41.14
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
274.1
200-300: moderate

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
274.08
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
24.1
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
24.08
<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
1.94
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

S&S (#2016)
One of Tartans most successful models. Two hull and two interior configurations were available. The standard rig includes a fin keel with skeg hung rudder with draft as shown here.
The tall rig has an extra 3 feet of mast, 5.5’ of draft and an extra 500 pounds of lead.(Sometimes referred to as TARTAN 30C.)
The interiors came in a center galley and aft galley version. Standard power was the Atomic 4 while some came with a Faryman Diesel.
Thanks to ‘callmecrazy’ for supplying additional layout details.
