Catalina Capri 30
- Add to quote
Does anyone here have any knowledge of how these boats perform in PHRF fleets? I''m trying to find an affordable boat to race next season and the Capri seems like it might be a good choice.
Go to the sailing forum at www.sailinganarchy.com and ask there. That is probably the most knowledgeable sailing crowd on the internet, especially about racing.
The Capri 30 is a reasonably good choice as a club level PHRF racer. The Capri 30, like most late 1970''s early 1980''s era MORC boats, were boats that sailed well in a wide range of windspeeds and seastates. For a race boat, these boats were forgiving and reasonably easy to sail well in a wide range of conditions. One word of caution on the Capri. These boats were not built all that well. The boats that have been raced hard have had to be beefed up or rebuilt. At the heart of it these were lightly built boats with mediocre engineering that were often raced very hard and now they are 25 or so years old. Some of these boats have been well maintained and upgraded making them a great choice, but others are absolutely beat to death and would require a whole lot of time and money to put back together. Other similarly priced good choices in that size range would include the J-29, J-30, Kirby 30, Laser 28, S2 9.1, and Santana Wavelength 30. In some ways the Capri 25 might be a better choice if your only goal is club level PHRF racing. One other point here, boats like these are heavily dependent on a really good sail inventory. Mainsails, Genoas and spinackers last two or three seasons of hard racing at the most and Blades maybe last 4 seasons. Genoas and blades should be radially cut or 3DL kevlar. An updated sail inventory for a boat like these can easily cost half as much as the boat is worth. Jeff
If you''re still looking at this boat, the Sailing Anarchy Forum at www.sailinganarchy.com has an active thread on it -- both good and bad points -- and some current owners of the boat are commenting. It''s always good to have input from current owners ob boats, especially on SA where so many racers hang out.
11 year thread bump. As a rookie noob, I've been crewing on a Capri 30 on Lake Mead, NV. Fabulous boat in light air. At 30 feet and 4,800 pounds, the boat MOVES in very minimal breeze. Very fun, but this particular unit had a lot of delamination repaired with many hours of labor.
5 and 1/2 year bump. Am considering a 1983 Capri 30 based in Annapolis area, to be used primarily for day sails and occasional overnights. Key areas to examine? Thanks anyone.

1983 Capri 30
- Description
Seller's Description
Capri 30, 1983 sailboat for sale Car trailer converted to boat trailer with eight bunks This is an ultra-light displacement boat. The only reason that this boat is for sale is to move towards something more young child friendly. Moved towards something a bit more stable with a few more cruising amenities. The sails and motor alone are in excellent condition and worth much more than the asking price of the entire package. This is a race ready vessel that will require zero sails to upgrade.

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)
BMW diesel (9hp) offered as an option.

It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat. A cat with a number 0.6 is likely to sail 6kts in 10kts wind, a cat with a number of 0.7 is likely to sail at 7kts in 10kts wind. KSP = (Lwl*SA÷D)^0.5*0.5

The 30 can collect silverware if you sail it well and are prepared to change headsails often.
