Oceanic 30 is a 29 ′ 11 ″ / 9.1 m catamaran sailboat designed by Bill O'Brian and built by Bill O'Brian Catamarans (UK) starting in 1967.

Drawing of Oceanic 30

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)

Broker's Comments

Designed by Bill O'Brian with safety, ease of handling and comfort in mind, he went on to prove the safety and reliability of the Oceanic 30 by sailing his own around the world without a hitch.

This example, which went through a 5 year period of total refurbishment, is a real gem. The refurb included having the engines completely overhauled, new electrics, electronics and plumbing fitted throughout, new standing rigging, sails and a great battery management system fitted.

Set up for single handed sailing, with an emphasis on safety, practicality and long term living aboard, this example has been sailed to the Scillies 3 times in one season and sailed solo in a force 8.

Her cockpit is well sheltered, the deck has a good quality non slip finish and is easy to move around. Equally at home on the open sea or shallow inlets, she is also easy to manoeuvre within the confines of marinas.

The interior feels more like a small two bedroomed flat than a boat. With two roomy double berths up forward in their own cabins, plenty of storage, a specious & comfortable saloon, a well equipped Nav station , a roomy and equally well equipped galley and a heads/shower room. This all comes with fantastic headroom and light throughout.

If you are looking a fully mobile & comfortable home on the water then look no further. This practical and seaworthy motorsailer has the feel of a far bigger vessel and, we believe, is great value for money.

  • Description
  • Key Features

Specifications

The Oceanis 30.1 is easy to sail, yet  lively to helm  and promises new  experiences and thrills . This robust, smart little cruiser is small enough to trail, opening up endless possibilities for lake and river sailing, as well as  coastal sailing  and high sea adventures.

NAVAL ARCHITECT : Finot - Conq

INTERIOR and DECK DESIGNS : Nauta Design

Best Boats 2020

Exterior design

With a stemhead, hard-chine hull, well-proportioned sides and coachroof, the Oceanis 30.1 artfully resembles a small yacht.

The Finot-Conq plan has met the double challenge of power and simple navigation. With her slender bow, optimized weight, and square-top mainsail, she performs well in all points of sail.

For beginners or for short-handed sailing, the self-tacking jib and the single winch make her easy to handle. For performance, the Oceanis 30.1 has a large overlapping genoa, a furling code zero and an asymmetric spinnaker. Aft, a step affords access to the sea and can be supplemented by a small lifting platform.  

oceanic 30 catamaran

Interior design

With a few extra inches won in strategic places, the Oceanis 30.1 differs from other boats thanks to a headspace of 6.5 ft in all the areas inside where it is comfortable to stand.

The two sizable double cabins each have berths running lengthwise and an open entryway making them feel particularly spacious. The two benches in the salon provide an additional place for two extra berths.

The large shower room is divided into a marine toilet on one side and shower and washbasin on the other. At the foot of the gently sloping companionway, the L-shaped galley has top and bottom storage, a 20 US Gal refrigerator and a real oven under the gas hob stove top.

FOR EVERYONE

With unbeatable living space for its size and a focus on simplicity of use, the smallest model of the cruising range is nevertheless stylish and fast, with a highly competitive, ready-to-sail price. 

oceanic 30 catamaran

TRAILERABLE

With an overall size of under 30 X 10 ft and a weight of 8,000 lbs, the Oceanis 30.1 can be trailered by road, without the issues of an extra-wide load. With the lifting keel and rotating tabernacle mast version, the cruiser can sail along canals and rivers to its sailing grounds. 

CHOICE OF HELM

On the Oceanis 30.1, sailors get to choose between a tiller with twin rudders for anyone seeking a few thrills or from the world of dinghy sailing, or twin steering wheels for anyone who prefers space and comfort!  

FUNCTIONAL COCKPIT

The double steering wheel layout results in a wonderfully big cockpit. On either side of the large fold-away table are two large benches, which comfortably seat up to six guests.

Oceanis 30.1 Electric

Silent, comfortable and emission free, the new Oceanis 30.1e now has an all-electric propulsion system that offers a unique boating experience.

With engine power equal to 14 HP, the Torqeedo engine has a range of up to 6 hours at 4 knots.

I know this is an old thread, but I see there are a bunch of cats here, so I ask your multi-hull minds about the a Iroquois 30. There's a Iroquois 30 MKII around town for sale - I know nothing about cats, really - what's your take on reasonable expectations of its use? If you were sailing it, would you be comfortable... Liveaboard? Local offshore cruising? Big offshore downwind run (e.g. SF to Hawaii)? Tough upwind sailing? Cruise the oceans? Cape Horn? I've not found a review of this sailboat for some reason, so I am curious what it can do. I should not even be thinking about this, not sure I'd be allowed back in church if they heard I had more than one hull.  

An Iroquois 30 has a pivoting centerboard and goes to weather just fine. They're an older design of 1960's vintage and are very capable, but it depends what condition you find the boat. She's a little on the small side to circumnavigate, yet some have done it in decades past.  

thesnort

Iroquois have been known to trip over themselves and assume an upside down position. On another site, you can find a candid opinion of them by the multihull designer Richard Woods. Apart from a few turning over though, they seem to have a good reputation for sailing and can go better to windward with the use of their daggerboards. For liveaboard, they seem very cramped to me. Once you've experienced standing headroom on a cruising catamaran, it's very hard to settle for munchkin accommodations on smaller boats. I think the Seawind 1000XL is the ultimate boat in the under 200K range. Since you're in the area, you can check out the one in Alameda. It's worth seeing for comparison's sake, at least. As a disclaimer, I have nothing to do with the Seawind other than wanting to purchase it myself. It's just a wee bit out of my budget range, unfortunately.  

The Seawind 1000XL is a very good boat which compares favorably to the Mahe 36. The Seawind is faster and the Mahe with her twin diesels a better cruiser. However, both of these boats are 10x the price of the aforementioned catamarans in this thread. It's sort of like recommending a Ferrari to a KIA inquiry. As to the Iroquois tripping. Yes they do, but no more than any other Cat of her size with boards in the water. You have to sail small center board or dagger board cats with an eye always on wind gusts.

My bad. I wrote daggerboard instead of centerboard. I'm clueless.

There's a Cherokee 35 in Texas for sale that might give you what you're looking for. Like Iroquois, they were also made by SailCraft of England.  

djeeke said: The centerboards perform their function limiting leeway very well to allow sailing upwind but are also the reason for the capsizes, they allow the tripping of the boat if pushed hard or if a sudden gust suprises you... so when it gets tough, reef and raise the board(s)...

djeeke said: Forgot to mention, there are some Iroquois which have had the boards removed and some LAR keels were installed... Click to expand...

I'd point out that the main reason to have dual outboards or engines is manueverability. However, many single engine boats have the engine steerable and that can go a long way to making up for the lack of dual engines. The main difference between centerboards and daggerboards are: Centerboards are often designed to kick up in case of an impact when going forwards—daggerboards will often damage the daggerboard trunk in the case of a hard grounding. Centerboards can be adjusted to change the CLR slightly, which can make balancing the boat easier. Daggerboards fill the slot when fully lowered and will generally cause less drag than a centerboard, which is why most high performance multihulls have daggerboards.  

djeeke said: Both perform the same function, daggerboards tend to be easier built (no pivoting points) but stick out of the deck. Some boats have centerboards completely inside a centerboard box, on the Iroquois you can see the board on deck... It just allows for a smoother hull design (and less draft), the board being used to counteract leeway... Forgot to mention, there are some Iroquois which have had the boards removed and some LAR keels were installed... Click to expand...

Hi all. I know this is an old and dead threat, but I've just arrived to the "Bill O'Brien Oceanic catamaran's world", and all the information and the forums that I've found by now are like this: dead. So I have to try... I've just bought an Oceanic Mark III, "the number 78" (almost the last one built) and I would like to contact with another owners and share the experiences with this boat. Thanks.
