Creekmore 30 1

Designed by Ray Creekmore and built by Creekmore Boats from 1964 to 1968, this 30-foot sailboat represents a classic example of mid-1960s coastal cruising design. With its traditional masthead sloop rig and fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration, the Creekmore 30 1 offers a balanced approach to performance and stability that appealed to sailors seeking reliable cruising capabilities. The boat's substantial 9,000-pound displacement and moderate 38.9% ballast-to-displacement ratio provide reassuring stability for coastal and near-offshore sailing. Its comfort ratio of 24.18 indicates a motion that favors seaworthiness over speed, making extended passages more comfortable for crew. The capsize screening formula of 2.02 suggests reasonable stability characteristics, though this places it at the upper end for offshore ventures. With 386 square feet of sail area and a conservative sail area-to-displacement ratio of 14.32, the Creekmore 30 1 prioritizes steady progress over racing performance. The 23-foot waterline length generates a theoretical hull speed of 6.43 knots, typical for displacement cruisers of this era. This fiberglass construction boat appeals to sailors who value traditional sailing qualities and proven seaworthiness over cutting-edge performance, making it well-suited for coastal cruising, weekend sailing, and learning seamanship fundamentals.
