Seller's Description

$17,800. For sale, ready to go, in good condition.

1981 Islander Bahama 30 with Inboard Electrical Motor, Located in Pompano Beach. Florida

The family will be relocating next year and need to let her go. If you know sailboats, you will love this boat. A stout vessel that deserves a good home. We love this boat, and so will you.

All checks can be done with the boat on the dock. I do not have time for sea trials, however, there is a travel lift at Apex Marine that can haul her out for an inspection for $300 (stays in straps). If that is something you are interested in, please make the arrangements.

Entering via the companionway, the galley is to port with the nav station and quarter berth to starboard. There is a straight settee in the salon forward of the galley, with an extendable dinette table that folds into the bulkhead when not in use, and to the starboard and forward of the nav station is a long settee that converts to a double berth. All cushions and coverings were replaced at the end of 2018.

A solid privacy door separates the V berth and the split head from the salon, the head to port and the vanity w/ shower wand to starboard. The V berth is a good size, with a custom split mattress that has hardly been used. There are 2 hanging lockers and drawers for storage.

The sole is teak and holly and there is a vinyl headliner throughout. There is solid teak cabinetry that provides a classic and comfortable feel.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.4 kn
Classic: 6.64 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

7.37 knots
Classic formula: 6.64 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.7
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.
17.67
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
38.0
<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

38.04
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
247.6
200-275: 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
247.6
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
22.5
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
22.45
<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
2.0
<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
1.98
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Same hull as the ISLANDER 30 MKII.
