Seller's Description

very fast and ready to go - this boat has been well maintained and is equally happy daysailing or racing. Great example of a light west coast design from Nelson Marek.

Equipment: full racing sails cruising sails cushions, head, sink, cooler, repowered with YANMAR diesel in 2014 which makes this boat like new.

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.
Thanks to Jane Schock for providing drawing and updated information.
