About the ADMIRALTY 30
Self tacking furling jib. Asymmetric spinnaker flown from the fixed bowsprit. Spinnaker Area: 612 sq.ft./53 m2
Designed by John Swarbrick and built by Admiralty Yachts in Singapore, the Admiralty 30 is a lightweight fractional sloop with a production start date of 2006. With a displacement of 2425.0 lb and a beam of 5.68 ft, it offers a performance-oriented profile, though the exact total hulls built remains unconfirmed in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and day-sailers who prioritize ease of handling and speed over heavy offshore protection, given its light displacement and fractional rig.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low D/L ratio of 49.74 and a capsize ratio of 1.69, the Admiralty 30 is better suited for protected coastal waters than extended bluewater passages, as its light displacement offers less motion comfort in heavy seas.
- Comparables:
- It compares to other late-2000s Asian-built performance cruisers like the Beneteau First 30 or J/30, sharing similar fractional sloop rigs and light displacement characteristics aimed at club racing and weekend cruising.
