Have you dreamed of owning a classic bluewater vessel, a boat that has rounded Cape Horn and anchored in Patagonia’s williwaws? One with a gimbaled oil lamp that shines onto the teak bulkhead while the Fleming stainless wind vane steers you silently through the night? A boat whose Panama Canal and Suez Canal certificates hang framed on the bulkhead?
Ave Del Mar is a William Garden designed 1967 Rawson 30, built as a sloop and converted years ago to a cutter rig. Her rich wood interior, hand-made iroko-and-meranti cabin sole, and boundless, useful storage are nothing like the sterile Ikea-like interiors of todays production boats.
Her 230 watts of solar is more than enough to charge her three deep-cycle batteries (new last year) and the Xantrex battery monitor helps keep an eye on your reserves. She has no refrigerator, which means your power demands are minimal. Keep the lights and the VHF on and crank some tunes while you sail it’s hard to run out of juice on this boat. On cloudy days, while your neighbors in the anchorage are running generators to keep their cheddar cheese cold, you’ll be free as a bird. Chasing gasoline to feed the generator to fuel the batteries to run the compressor is someone else’s game.
Theres no power usage to get water and no pressurized water system to spring leaks and no water pump to run and run and deplete your electric bank. Her galley glows with warmth and functionality, from the mahogany butcher block countertop to the brass sink and three-burner stove. Two 20-pound propane tanks mean you have months of cooking fuel on hand, and always a tank in reserve.
She is powered by a Kubota V-1305 four cylinder diesel after she was repowered in 2021 (used) and consumes a meager .6 gallons per hour while running at cruising speed. She has two 35-gallon black iron fuel tanks that need to be replaced.
All of her lighting has been converted to energy-efficient LED. There are USB power outlets belowdecks and in the cockpit.
Equipment: She has everything a modern boat needs to sail safely: AIS, radar, SSB, a 4-person life raft, and a classic full-keel design and overbuilt rudder that will heave-to like a dream in stormy seas. Her Fiorentino para-anchor is the best on the market and is rigged with oodles of brand new 8-plait nylon line. Her 25 kilo Rocna anchor will bite the ground like a bulldog, and the all chain rode was replaced just last year. You’ll be thrilled to learn that you can tuck comfortably dry under the dodger if you need to hand steer in a squall. She has two recently-serviced PFDs (life jackets), top of the line Kong double-tethers, and a Dyneema jackline rigged to marine-grade stainless for offshore safety.

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)
Sloop version available with tall rig.
A yawl conversion kit was available including bowsprit.
A few pilot house versions were built. (36).
