The Santander 30 is a British sailboat that was designed by American William H. Tripp Jr. as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1966.[1] [2] [3]
The design is a development of the Tripp 30, which was built by Mechans Ltd in the United Kingdom and by Werkspoor in the Netherlands starting in 1963, with 30 boats completed. Seafarer Yachts also imported the Tripp 30 into the United States.[4] [5] [6] [7]
The Santander 30 design was built by Dock Plastics in the United Kingdom, starting in 1966, when the Tripp 30 moulds were moved from the Netherlands.[1] [3]
The Santander 30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig. The hull has a spooned raked stem; a raised counter, angled, transom; a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed modified long keel. It displaces 96000NaN0 and carries 24500NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3]
The boat has a draft of 4.5feet with the standard keel and is fitted with an inboard motor for docking and manoeuvring.[1] [3]
The design has a hull speed of 5.99kn.[3]
