Review of San Juan 30
Basic specs..
The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.
The boat is equipped with 75.0 liter fresh water capacity.
The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.
The San Juan 30 is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.
The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.
The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.58 - 1.68 meter (5.18 - 5.48 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
San Juan 30 is typically equipped with an inboard Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine at 30 hp (22 kW). Calculated max speed is about 7.4 knots
The fuel tank has a capacity of 65.0 liters (17 US gallons, 14 imperial gallons).
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for San Juan 30 is 2.07, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.5 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for San Juan 30 is about 146 kg/cm, alternatively 822 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 146 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 822 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Maintenance
When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 25m 2 (269 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

ABOUT THIS YACHT
Classic lines, accomplished power and agility, a singular yachting experience. The SanJuan30 is the ideal size for day cruising with friends and family, as well as overnights for two. Luxury abounds both above and below deck with teak throughout, and fit and finish of joinery and systems typically found only in the mega-yacht class. Form follows function gracefully, with intuitively designed spaces requiring simple maintenance. The SanJuan30 is engineered and built for confident operation in all sea conditions and for decades of service. A lightweight hull coupled with efficient twin engines gives the yacht sportscar maneuverability, and craftsmanship from bow to stern is second to none. Casual cruising has never been so beautiful.
The SanJuan30 is designed to entertain guests as much as it is the helmsman. An open design philosophy makes the most of every space to give both cockpit and deck areas ample room for a wide range of activities. From entertaining to sportfishing, relaxing to sunbathing, the SanJuan30 offers extreme flexibility. A removable aft seat and table are available for additional cockpit seating and dining. While underway, seating for two at the helm allows the captain and a friend to share the experience. Below deck, an ample cabin is appointed warmly in gleaming teak with a satin sheen. Interior lighting is stylish. A V-berth in the bow luxuriously berths two. A large hanging locker with teak louvered doors provides storage. And a larger than expected head includes cabinets for additional storage and a standup shower.

San Juan 30
San Juan 30 is a 29 ′ 10 ″ / 9.1 m monohull sailboat designed by Bruce Kirby and built by Clark Boat Company starting in 1975.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
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
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
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.
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.
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Based on an IOR 1/2 ton prototype. A more racing oriented version (with a shorter coach roof and longer cockpit, deeper keel etc.) was also available. How many of these were built in unknown. Available with the deeper keel: 6.0’/1.83m Tall rig: I: 39.5’/12.04m J: 12.5’/3.81m P: 35.0’/10.67m E: 9.5’/2.90m Thanks to SJ 30 owner Chris F. for providing additional information.

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
