Production
Design
The Harbor 30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with carbon fiber reinforcement and interior with varnished mahogany wood trim. The hull is solid, hand-laid fiberglass, while the deck is cored with end-grain balsa. The hull has a deck-stepped mast, a raked stem, an angled transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig, with double spreaders. It displaces 7,500 lb (3,402 kg) and carries 3,300 lb (1,497 kg) of ballast. The hull has an aft lazarette with storage space and a drop-down swimming ladder.[1][2][3][8]
The boat has a draft of 6.25 ft (1.91 m) with the standard keel and 4.42 ft (1.35 m) with the optional shoal draft keel, which was designed for US east coast cruising conditions.[1][2][8]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 20 hp (15 kW), with a saildrive and a folding propeller for docking and maneuvering. The engine will propel the boat at 6.5 kn (12.0 km/h). The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 36 U.S. gallons (140 L; 30 imp gal), while the holding tank has a capacity of 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal).[1][2][3][9]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four adults, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and an aft cabin with a transversely-mounted double berth. There are also two straight settees in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side at the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. The Jabsco head is located opposite the galley, on the port side and includes a shower. The cabin sole is holly and teak. Cabin headroom is 72 in (183 cm). [1][2][3][8][9]
For sailing the boat has a self-tacking Hoyt jib boom with roller furling, plus lazy jacks on the mainsail boom to ease sail handling. The cockpit is 7.75 ft (2.36 m) long and has a built in ice box and cup holders. Stanchions and lifelines were factory options.[3][8]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetric spinnaker.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.85 kn (12.69 km/h) and a PHRF racing average handicap of 120.[2][4]
Operational history
In a 2012 review of the prototype for boats.com, Zuzana Prochazka wrote, "she has exceptional sailing characteristics as well as a completely functional interior for cruising and extended weekending."[8]
Herb McCormick wrote a 2012 Cruising World review, stating, "the Harbor 30 really struts its stuff once the sails are set. It was a light-air day on the Chesapeake when we put the boat through its paces, with the breeze never topping 10 knots. But the Harbor 30 acquitted itself well, scooting upwind at a solid 6 knots. Our test boat was laid out with the 4-foot-10-inch shoal-draft keel, and we reckoned there’d be a nice uptick in speed with the optional 6-foot-3-inch foil."[9]
In its 2013 Boat of the Year nomination, Sailing World noted, "classic lines and easy sailing define the modern daysailer, and the Harbor 30 slots right into this genre. With a jib boom, wheel steering, full-bench seating in the cockpit, four berths below, and a comfortable interior, there are five reasons right there to race it, cruise it, and take all your friends for a sunset booze cruise."[4]
