About the HINTERHOELLER 30
The Hinterhoeller 30 is a rare Canadian-built vessel designed by Hinterhoeller and constructed by Hinterhoeller Yachts Ltd. in 1969. With a build count of ? hulls, this single-year production run represents a unique entry in the late 1960s sailing market.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who appreciate a lightweight, responsive masthead sloop with a comfort ratio of 15.92. Its relatively low displacement of 4500.0 lb makes it manageable for smaller crews or single-handers seeking agility over heavy-weather stability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.06 and a displacement of 4500.0 lb, the Hinterhoeller 30 is better suited for protected coastal waters than serious offshore passages. Its fin keel and moderate D/L ratio of 160.67 suggest good performance in moderate conditions but limited reserve buoyancy for heavy seas.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other late-1960s Canadian designs like the Pearson 30 or O'Day 30, which share similar LOA dimensions and masthead sloop rigs. These vessels offer similar coastal cruising capabilities, though the Hinterhoeller distinguishes itself with a lighter displacement and narrower beam of 8.5 ft.
