About the DARTSAILOR 30
A similar model was the SIROCCO 29.
The Dartsailor 30 is a Dutch-built cruising sloop designed by Willem de Vries-Lentsch and constructed by Holland Boat Company (NL) in 1979. With a build count of ?, this vessel represents a specific era of European boatbuilding characterized by robust construction and traditional lines.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable, stable ride over high-performance racing metrics. Its moderate displacement and full keel design make it ideal for relaxed cruising rather than aggressive short-handed offshore racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 15432.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.64, and a full/long keel, the Dartsailor 30 possesses the structural integrity and stability required for protected coastal passages and short offshore trips, though its age and single-year production run suggest careful vetting for long-range bluewater use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from the same era include the Beneteau First 30 and the O'Day 30, as they share similar length overall (30.02 ft) and target the same market of affordable, family-oriented coastal cruisers. The Dartsailor distinguishes itself with a heavier displacement (15432.0 lb) and a full keel, offering greater stability compared to the fin-keel designs of many American contemporaries.
