About the MURENA 30
Designed by Håkan Södergren and built by Boatsman Sunsail from 1972–1980, the Murena 30 is a classic European cruiser with 350 hulls produced. It is a masthead sloop with a displacement of 7055.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 19.2, offering a balance of performance and stability.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable motion and manageable size, as evidenced by the high frequency of dodger and bimini installations for protected cruising.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.18 and a displacement of 7055.0 lb, the Murena 30 is stable enough for coastal passages, though its age and reported structural issues require careful assessment for extended offshore use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other 1970s European fin-keel sloops like the Beneteau First 30 or Oyster 30, it shares similar dimensions and a focus on coastal cruising rather than heavy offshore racing.
