Is clansman 30 blue water capable, nsw, 24 posts.

Hi all, We are a couple wanting to get into sailing. Our main purpose for sailing is because we are scuba divers and we are doing underwater videos and photography. Sailing would allow us to go many places currently not accessible to us. Due to budget constraints, we have 2 options: 1. Getting a smaller but strong boat that can we can sail now in Australian costal waters and refit over a few years before taking it overseas; or 2. Save up and get a bigger, blue water boat in a few years time. Places we would like to go are the Philippines, Indonesia and eventually Galapagos and South America. We are interested in the Clansman 30. It is a small boat, very narrow beam, but we think we can add additional water tanks and water maker and the necessary electronics for ocean crossing and we are minimalists. My question is, ignoring our sailing ability, is Clansman 30 suitable for ocean crossing. Which option in your opinion is the better option? We ideally want to avoid buying and refitting a boat only to have to sell it and refit another boat. Thank you

I'm guessing you have watched all the Free Range Sailing U tubes .

Pretty much anything is blue water capable in the right hands.

As BB said, the couple on Free Range Sailing are sailing around Australia. They discuss provisioning issues, maintenance issues, etc en route. A Compass28 or similar would also suffice, but scuba gear seems a factor. Sufficient electronics in total would cost less than a grand (VHF, depth sounder, GPS, maybe a chart plotter). A radar would cost more, but not always essential. 200 litres of water capacity could be stored quite easily, and tropical places are known to have fresh water falling from the sky (just add tarpaulin, funnel and pipe). Scuba diving requires tanks, masks, and your camera gear. That might mean you would need to refill the tanks/have a capacity of 10 hours or so between having them refilled. But do-able. This aspect I don't know about, but might be the thing that limits your time underwater.

If you are going that far I would suggest something bigger to handle the weight better. A Duncanson 34 is a great boat that are not pricey and a lot more comfortable than the Clansman. Clansman's are nice boats but they roll like the dickens with a kite up on a square (but that might be the kite). As others have said, it could be done, but a nice Dunco or East Coast 31 or Bounty 35 is a more modern design with more room, more weight carrying ability, much drier and far better to windward whilst still being solid. www.boatsales.com.au/boats/details/1985-eastcoast-31/OAG-AD-19869136/?Cr=1 www.boatsonline.com.au/boats-for-sale/duncanson/?keywords=34 www.boatsonline.com.au/boats-for-sale/duncanson/?keywords=34

We are worried about cored hull. Thanks

FabulourPhill, We originally wanted a compressor for refilling tanks, but we have decided to start off on a Hookah set. Diving in Australia on the GBR is not very deep, a Hookah set should be adequate and all we need is to carry a few jerry cans for it. Thank you for your input, we definitely need 200L of water, maybe add a water maker in the future if needed.

Having a daughter and son in law who are both master divers and watching the hullabaloo they go through I would make a couple of observations. 1. A swim platform would be nice to slide off and on , put flippers on spit in mask and whatever. Climbing onto a Clansman could be a pita 2. An area reserved for suiting up and changing without wetting everything etc. Perhaps a centre cockpit where the rear deck could be set aside with a swimming platform on the transom BUT $$$ is the deciding factor ,Like this www.boatsonline.com.au/boats-for-sale/used/sailing-boats/jarkan-10-5/262212 yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/adams-31-centre-cockpit/239258

www.boatsonline.com.au/boats-for-sale/used/sailing-boats/van-de-stadt-34-owner-says-sell-19990/240824 this would be pretty good. good performance, roomy, good spacious cockpit for diving out of, big enough to carry a decent amount of gear, strong ocean going design.

My feeling is a Clansman does not have enough free board, seems to submarine into swell and when working hard upwind and healing the gunwales are under water.

The East Coast, the Bounty, the Mottle and the Dunco - in fact all these 70s and 80s boats are probably solid glass in the hulls. There may be some balsa in the deck. There were many different small builders selling moulds to each other so there is no way to check. Ask the seller and then get someone to check with you. Solid glass is okay, I like cores, and lots of decks use balsa to save weight and make the boat stiffer and lighter. Some balsa decks get spongy. Take a good look there. Be careful of wanting a certain boat or type with your lack of experience - a good steel Van de stat may be more your thing. As said before, something with a swim platform aft would be good, so a wider bum and a duck board would be nice.

the clasman choice of design for offshore is great but for extended cruise and carrying dive equipment as well may prove to be a challenge i put them as the perfect 2 handed budget cruiser

I go past a Clansman most mornings and I would consider them way too small for a couple to cruise with. The Mottle 33 would be the smallest boat I would consider and I think any of the 34 footers would suit. I would also consider a Swanson 36. A Swanson 36 with a sugar scoop stern will be a good starting point. If your happy using a hookah and think this is a smart way to go then a 12v one would be my choice and is what I use. The cost of solar panels and superb controllers are so cheap today combined with lithium batteries it's a bit of a no brainer.

The Clansman is very wet. I raced on one in Sydney some years back and in any sort of sea/wind you get soaked, and that was in the harbour. They are very solid and I expect can handle the conditions but it would be very uncomfortable and they are tiny internally.

Reminds me of my father's Folkboat which I sailed lot with very little free board and water coming in the cockpit over the gunnels when hard pressed. In this regard see the episode where they are coming into Broken Bay Pittwater. Most uncomfortable but that said an extremely seaworthy and unbreakable little boat with great directional stability.

The Clansman is pretty close dimension and interior wise (water-line length, beam, draft etc) to a Compass 28, except for the stretched out stern. I have a Compass 28, and I cannot imagine how you could comfortably accommodate two people plus scuba gear, provisions, water, fuel, spares etc etc for extended passages. Go bigger as the previous chaps have suggested. Cheers, Graeme

It seems the latest video that came out yesterday was actually the 31st of March. They might have to start holding a newspaper page up showing the date or at least mention it on Youtube.

I just sailed my 35 foot Jarkan 10.5 up the east coast from Batemans Bay to Hervey Bay - we managed 3m swells and 24kt winds easily enough - she is solid, hand laid fibreglass, the hull is 2" thick - if you want a solid, small(ish) yacht to sail in any weather conditions, you'd be hard pressed to go past a Jarkan 10.5. That said, I think the Clansman yachts were pretty seaworthy, and I've known a few folks who sail and swear by them. They are small though, and a little cramped onboard. They also don't carry a lot of water or fuel, so you'd be thinking about externally carried jerry cans and a water maker if you're thinking of true blue water work. Don't let that stop you though - good luck with what ever you end up with.

The boats crashed around 12:30 p.m. in Hingham Bay in the area of Grape Island — about 15 miles south of Boston, the Weymouth Police Department confirmed to The Post. The 38-foot power boat was heading out from Hingham into the main channel when it struck the 21-foot sailboat, the US Coast Guard told WCVB. A male and female passenger who were onboard the sailboat appeared to have suffered injuries consistent with propeller strikes, authorities said. Officials said the female’s injuries were serious. The Weymouth Police Department’s marine unit arrived at the scene first and applied tourniquets to the victims’ wounds before they were taken to local hospitals. Two people on board the motorboat were taken in for questioning, according to the outlet. Overhead footage from WCVB showed the sailboat nearly completely submerged in the water behind the motorboat, surrounded by authorities. The Massachusetts Environmental Police will be investigating.  The Post has reached out to the agency and USCG for additional information. 333 IMAGES Clansman 30 Clansman 30 "Dunedoo" Clansman 30 "Dunedoo" Clansman 30 cruising yacht Clansman 30 CLANSMAN 30' SAILBOAT ready to sail. for Sale in CEDAR CREEK, New South COMMENTS CLANSMAN 30 20 to 30 indicates a coastal cruiser; 30 to 40 indicates a moderate bluewater cruising boat; 40 to 50 indicates a heavy bluewater boat; over 50 indicates an extremely heavy bluewater boat.

Review of Clansman 30 Keel. Fin keel. 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.
