Clansman 30
Clansman 30 is a 29 ′ 11 ″ / 9.1 m monohull sailboat designed by Bruce Fairlie and built by Fairlite Plastics/East Coast Yachts (AUSTRALIA) between 1966 and 1985.
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)
One of the earliest fiberglass production sailing yachts of this size built in Australia. East Coast Yachts was located at New South Wales, Australia.

Review of Clansman 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 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 Clansman 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 boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.35 - 1.45 meter (4.43 - 4.73 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
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 Clansman 30 is 1.54, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - 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 6.2 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 Clansman 30 is about 107 kg/cm, alternatively 599 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 107 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 599 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
Sailing statistics
This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.
What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?
What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?
What is a Ballast Ratio?
What is Displacement Length Ratio?
SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 13.85
Maintenance
When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 19m 2 (204 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.
If you need to renew parts of your running rig and is not quite sure of the dimensions, you may find the estimates computed below useful.
| Usage | Length | Diameter |
| Jib sheet | 9.1 m | (30.0 feet) | 12 mm | (1/2 inch) |
| Genoa sheet | 9.1 m | (30.0 feet) | 12 mm | (1/2 inch) |

Some people are surprised we went so far in such a & we could have gone further but careers called us back. We always felt safe in her and the was good for 2 people with occasional friends. Unbelievably we her for more than we spent all up! It was slow travelling now that we have a 425 to compare it to.
Good luck with the Clansman though - they were on our at the time but we wanted to fit out a to avoid maintainence issues.
cheers

| 28, 29 and Clansman years ago when I was in the market for such.
The Clansman was the most appealing, followed by the Compass 28. Details are a bit vague now, but I well remember the conclusion. I also remember the Clansman was more expensive than the Compass.
The Compass 29 had a fairly bad rep, mainly due to the excessive . Rumour was thats why a was preferred over the tiller. | | | | | 10-01-2012, 07:21 | | Boat: (Cruiser Living On Dirt)

| | | | | 15-02-2012, 23:27 | | | | > Cairns > PNG including Rabaul in New Britain and Kavieng in New , then back to Adelaide. Sailed SA waters extensively, often handed for next 5 years, then when the 'nightmare' of marriage, career, , mortgage happened.
Fellow cruisers at the time were amazed that we were in open waters in such a , but I can honestly say that she was the most sea-worthy, sea-kindly (heavy for size, narrow beam, low freeboard, long keel) of the I have sailed around that 30-34' range. She coped with some challenging conditions on that trip. Very fond memories flood back whenever I see one. If anyone knows where she is now - was called Tiarnie - I'd love to know. We lived on her for a whole year (mostly 3, long trip back to SA 2).
So, to the person who originally asked, if you find one in good condition, seriously think of taking it for a sea trial.
Just to spoil the story, I'm waiting for a new 355 to arrive from US in March - so much NOT like a Clansman! However, my girlfriend who dared jump on the Clansman all those years ago is now the wife who was convinced to go to sea again after inspecting one of these flash in recently. | | | | | 16-02-2012, 01:43 | | Boat: Catalina Morgan 45

Forums > Sailing > > GeneralChoice of boat: clansman 30 or cavalier 32.  Hello all, I am looking between two of these boats. My plan is to cruise around the east coast and down to Tasmania every now and then, but mostly sailing around Lake Mac and the Hawkesbury. I am not in to racing and want enough room for my kids and I neither are over 10. I plan is to eventually live aboard (shhh...don't tell government). I would be single handed much of the time till my kids get older. The clansman is in much better shape but is a bit more. $12k more. The Cav32 could be had much lower than asking price as it looks like the engine is need of work (may need an overhaul) and the interior is in need of a refresh. The rigging on both are coming up for replacement in the next few years and the Cav needs anti fouling and a new coat of paint on her hull. The electronics on both are original and I would eventually replace them with modern equipment. Electrical is not a big deal for me as I have had to rewire military aircraft in the past. I am very handy with tools so not doubt I could handle 80% of what is required for both boats. The beam on the cav32 is almost a half a meter wider (which would help with room down below) but the draft is almost a foot more, Eventually I wouldn't mind getting some blue water miles under her. Any one have experience with either one of these and its sailing capabilities? I know the Cav can handle blue water and the Clansman has travlled between NSW and Tasmania a few times, so i believe these boats are both capable sailors. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers A good Clansman with new rigging would be worth about $18k. The Cav 32 is a lot more boat. Check the keel bolts. I believe the Cav32 has an encapsulated Keel, so no keel bolts to worry about. Though I could be wrong.  NSW, 147 postsnz built cavalier 32`s are balsa sandwich hull construction as i understand it. worth looking in to condition of hull as balsa does not like moisture. it would be worth checking out "free range sailing" on youtube they sail a clansman around the top end VIC, 471 postshave a look at the H28 great cruiser and there a few about for sale  NSW, 7573 postsNot a good comparison really. The Cavalier 32 is a much larger and modern boat compared to a Clansman. I would suggest spending some more time looking at other vessels in your price range and talking to owners of various boats to get some idea what you really need. Mate has a Cav 32 and has had several knockdowns on the way to Lord Howe but that does not mean the boat is not capable. Of those two choices I would take the Cav 32. Reality is I would be looking at something like this and living with the green Laminex! https://yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/brolga-33-unreserved-online-auction/212836 twodogs1969 NSW, 1000 postsPersonally I would forget the clansman. Very old design not a lot of room. Also 12 grand is a fare bit both need similar work put the 12 into extra work or better equipment. Now in that 32- 35 ft mark there are a lot of boats for sail. A lot on here have blinkers and will only suggest the make of boat they have. But there are so many different boats for sail and they will give you a lot more room for the kids. They are only going to get older and require more room. Plus if you are going to live aboard things like showers become necessary. Keep looking.  NSW, 283 postsHi Fretbro The Clansman has a reputation of being very wet offshore and I have seen really shocking osmosis on one. Might not be a problem on others, but worth a close check. For mine the Cav is one of the best boats of their size out there and apparently very capable in heavy weather. Kiwi built ones have a reputation for being well put together and extremely durable despite the balsa core. oldboyracer NSW, 292 postsMy mate has a cav 32 and i have a manitou32 this would be a similar comparison. ( dont start on my choice of boat lol) the cav is huge compared to mine, you can swing two cats in it. Boat speed surprisingly similar although the manitou is a stiff boat so i tend not to reef to often. The main diference we found was that i live ON mine, as in outside in the cockpit due to the small international volume. My mate lives IN his staying down below with more room. But we both agree my manitou was better as i have a bbq and coffee maker lol. But i do like the cav32 was just out of my price range at the time. Like everything a cheap boat might not be cheap,a new engine and rerigg and youve done 15 k.  Probably better re-sale on the Cav32 also, & as mentioned above 12k will get a lot of improvements & maintenance done. MorningBird NSW, 2662 postsI have raced on both in Sydney Harbour. The Clansman is solid, sails well but everybody gets soaked when the wind is above 12kts or so. It is small for its length. The Cav was roomy and sailed well. Ramona's comment about one getting knocked down is something I have heard happen to them as well. Even Kay Cottee in a Cav 37 got knocked down a few times in her round the world effort. My view is they are too tender for anything but coastal offshore work. Why not look at the S&S34 as well, or a Mottle 33. They can both go anywhere. If you are in Sydney I can take you for a sail on my S&S34.  QLD, 87 postsCav 32/975 has a bolt on keel. They are fast, sail high to wind very well. I suspect that they suffer from the odd knockdown because they inspire confidence and skippers therefore may be late to reduce sail plan, which really requires people on deck to change down jibs. The main is comparatively small and well controlled with the traveller at the bridgedeck. Select to expand quote SailMark said.. Cav 32/975 has a bolt on keel.

The main is comparatively small and well controlled with the traveller at the bridgedeck. In my experience most blue water knock downs are wave induced with the wind contributing. I believe the Cavs lack inherent stability for those sort of conditions. They rely more on form stability than on the heavy keel. I believe a steep wave overwhelms them. OK Odd dimensions for form stability. A steep wave will always do it for you. I stand corrected. Again. Love to learn so much from this site. Select to expand quote SailMark said.. OK Odd dimensions for form stability. A steep wave will always do it for you. I stand corrected. Again. Love to learn so much from this site. I have surfed a Cav 975 on really steep short waves and never had an issue with stability, form or otherwise. At the time I admit that I thought a bit more rudder in the water might help. No experience with a Clansman at all. NSW, 3342 postsI don't think the Cav is short on inherent stability; in fact when new it was renowned as a superb high-wind half tonner. With a 50% ballast ratio and moderate beam (9ft 9in) compared to later IOR boats, it's very similar in style to the S&S 34 with a slightly wider stern which should give greater form stability. Personally I'd dislike the ones with the little wheel instead of a tiller. There's a huge number of the various tough old half tonners that have done lots of miles around our coasts and I don't think any of them have ever really got into trouble, apart from one in WA and one that had a shaft issue in NT. Both issues were 30 years ago. They are pretty much as tough as steel capped boots. The Clansman is basically in a different category of speed and size. I sailed the state champion Clansman for years as a kid. Very wet, quite small down below and rolly when pressed hard under kite. I'd take either across the Strait, no problems.  12330 postsQLD, 12330 postsPhoenixStar said.. This one sails like a dream, is set up for single handed with electric winches and needs no work.

Our yacht, Mirrool, is a Clansman 30 GRP Sloop. She splashed off the Fairlite Plastics construction line in Gosford, New South Wales Australia, in 1969 . Her first owner, Charles Ure, entered her in the inaugural Trans-Tasman Solo Yacht Race. This contest starts in New Plymouth, New Zealand and ends in Mooloolaba, Australia, some 1300Nm distant. Of five vessels, she was the sole Australian entry. Joining her were three New Zealand registered yachts and one entry from the USA. She joined the second race four years later in 1974 but was dis-masted in a ferocious storm and was unable to complete the course but Mirrool and Charles survived the ordeal. The original sail plan is still in use today with a conservative 35sq.m combined fore and mainsail area, complimented by a 41sq.m asymmetric spinnaker for use in winds under 20 knots. The mast has reinforced aerofoil welded spreaders and oversize rigging. Mirrool is 4100kg. The hull is hand-laid solid GRP and the moulded keel carries 1800kg of lead ballast. The original Buhk 1 cylinder diesel engine has been replaced about 20 years ago with a Yanmar 2GM20 which, while looking a bit worse for wear, is still clattering along with Troy’s occasional attention. She has been Troy’s full time home since 2015 and Pascale a little more recently.  | | | |
