Developed by the renowned design team of Nelson/Marek and built by W. D. Schock Corp, this 30-footer represents a focused approach to performance-oriented sailing from the early 1980s. With only 40 hulls produced during its brief production run starting in 1981, the Santana 30 30Pc has become a relatively rare find in today's used boat market. The boat's design priorities are clearly evident in its specifications. The fin keel and spade rudder configuration, combined with a masthead sloop rig carrying 440 square feet of sail area, creates a responsive sailing platform well-suited for coastal racing and spirited day sailing. The SA/Displacement ratio of 20.28 indicates good performance potential in moderate conditions, while the hull speed of 6.76 knots reflects typical expectations for this length. At 6,500 pounds displacement with 2,310 pounds of ballast, the boat strikes a balance between performance and stability. The comfort ratio of 16.91 suggests a relatively stiff, quick motion that racing sailors typically appreciate, though extended offshore passages might prove less comfortable. The capsize screening formula of 2.2 indicates reasonable stability for coastal waters. This Santana variant appeals most to sailors seeking a nimble, performance-oriented boat for weekend racing or energetic day sailing adventures.
