The Santana 30/30 is an American sailboat that was designed by Bruce Nelson and Bruce Marek as a Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) racer-cruiser and first built in 1981. [1] [2] [3]
The design was built by W. D. Schock Corp in Corona, California, United States, starting in 1981, but it is now out of production. [1] [3] [4]
The Santana 30/30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. [1] [3]
The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel fitted. [1]
The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo diesel engine of 13 hp (10 kW). The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank also has a capacity of 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal). [3]
The design's galley is split with a two-burner alcohol stove and sink on the starboard side and the icebox on the port side, doubling as a navigation table. The head is located forward, just aft of the bow "V"-berth, and includes a hanging locker. Additional sleeping accommodation includes two cabin berths, plus separate dinette settees. There is a large hatch forward. [3]
The mainsheet traveler is mid-cockpit, the halyards are internally-mounted and there are four winches. The Cunningham is a 3:1 arrangement, which the foreguy is 2:1 and the boom vang is 12:1. The boom has two flattening reefs and an internal outhaul and topping lift. The genoa tracks and toe rails are made from aluminum. [3]
Reviewer Richard Sherwood wrote of the design, "this Santana was designed to the MORC rule. Displacement is moderate. The bow is fine and the transom broad. The over-hanging transom reduces length and wetted surface in light air, increasing water line as heeled. She is a performance cruiser, with the emphasis on performance. [3]
Bill Brockaway noted in Sailing World, "the GP, with its lower cabin and fewer interior amenities, is the model you want for racing. A typical PHRF rating for the Santana 30/30 GP is 114, and the boat is raced with six crew." [5]
