Comparable Interior to most 35-36’ sloops!
Hinterhoeller Yachts of Canada produced about 1,000 of these immensely popular cat boats. Mark Ellis designed the boat to be very easy to sail with a single wishbone rigged mainsail, and a modern fin keel and spade rudder. The result was a boat that is surprisingly fun to sail, and that points just as well as other sloops on the same vintage. Off the wind, catboats are fast. The build quality of Hinterhoeller is legendary.
At 11’10” beam for 30’4” length, the beam to length ratio is extreme in comparison to most monohulled sailboats. This results in an enormous amount of living space, and a very comfortable cockpit with clean uncluttered decks.
Resolute is in good condition, but she is very simply outfitted. She is set up for day sailing now. If her next owner is interested in cruising, she could use refrigeration, updated electronics, buffing and waxing, and air conditioning for comfort at the dock.

Jack Horner of Boat US weighs in on the NS30 construction-
“The keys to successful core composite construction are quality control and the knowledge of the builder. There are few, if any, boatbuilders with more experience building cored composite boats than George Hinterhoeller. The hulls and decks are joined on an inward flange and are securely bolted together through an aluminum toe rail.”

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)
Shallow draft: 3.96’.
