The Etap 30i is a 29.33ft fractional sloop designed by Mortain & Mavrikios and built in fiberglass by Etap Yachting since 1995.

The Etap 30i is a light sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.

Launched in 1995, the 30i featured several novelties: a removable mainsheet track, several wing keel options and ‘EVS’ steering. The boat is stiff and sea-kindly under sail, well-suited to short-handed or family cruising, but t he standard rig, which features a non-overlapping, self-tacking headsail, leaves her decidedly undercanvassed in light to moderate winds. The bright, cosy saloon – spacious for a 30-footer – has plentiful stowage in lockers along the gunwales, a centrally mounted dining table, a good-sized chart table with plenty of room for instruments, and a workable, L-shaped galley. The heads compartment is surprisingly roomy, with ample hanging space for wet oilskins. The aft cabin has a 6ft by 5ft double berth and the forepeak vee-berth is sealed off from the main cabin with two sliding doors.

Looking for opinions on the etap30 as far as construction,sailing ability,possible repair problems in which the foam core will make a trained cockroach unable to get to,Do they hold their value.Am I better off looking at Hunters?  

Ken, an Etap is far more heavily engineered than a Hunter in that virtually all the technology that allows Etap to build a non-sinkable boat these days, affordably, had to be invented by them. They own the game. Moreover, the in-water tests they must pass are very thorough (altho'' not dynamic) and relate not just to keeping the boat afloat but also being able to sail it, flooded. And as if this isn''t enough of a challenge, they already meet some of the strictest emissions standards that have yet to go into effect in Europe re: how they handle the chemicals. Etaps are also good sailers. Their weakness is interior volume, as the foam has to live somewhere. The bigger the Etap, the less this becomes an absolute problem altho'' even the bigger boats lack comparable storage to their (sinkable) competitors. How do you plan to use the boat? There''s an interesting conflict, in a sense, between Etaps being the ''best'' of offshore boats because they can''t sink and the smaller ones lacking the amount of space a long passage can require. But these are clever, clever boats. I''d encourage you to try and see one of the newer ones if you can. And their newest technology is going to make the flotation cheaper to add and take even less space. These folks aren''t coasting... Jack  

Jack I was planning on coastal cruising in and around the chesapeake bay is this boat overkill my wife is a bit afraid of the idea of being away from land and sinking or worst. we both enjoy sailing but the safety of this boat is reassuring,I suppose the interior volume wouldnot be missed as long as we can have room for us and a couple of grandchildren occasionaly thanks for imput kd  

Hi KenD, We''ve got an ETAP 21i, and you would be very, *very* surprised at what they''ve fit into the cabin, even at that size. It''s snug, but you''ve got the added benefit of all that insulation in terms of staying cool (or warm) and no condensation. We''re just getting into the sailing game, and this boat absolutely fits the bill in terms of ease of mind from a safety standpoint. Regarding resale, all I can say is you see very few ETAP boats on the market, so I''m guessing people hold on to them. Good luck on your search!  

Ken, I''ve been a fan of Etaps for years, going back to the ''80''s when they were first in the US market. The bad economy of the late ''80s and early ''90s scared off a lot of European manufacturers, as well as driving lots of good US manufacturers into bankruptcy. Anyway, it''s good to see Etap back in the US market. Whoosh gave you a good sypopsis of the company and how then build boats. Etap also is one of the few inventive boat builders out there today, over and above the unsinkability of their boats. If the 30 suits your needs, go for it. Your wife will enjoy the unsinkable aspect (I looked at Etaps in the 80''s for the same reason) and the boats also are very well made and sail well. They have lots of features I like -- the deck non-skid and the aluminum toe rail being two on deck. I would not say the boat is overkill for the Chesapeake (my home waters) either.

Etap 30CQ is a 29 ′ 5 ″ / 9 m monohull sailboat designed by Yachtdesign v. Ahlen and built by Etap Yachting starting in 2010.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Tandem keel: Draft: 1.10 m / 3.58’ Disp.: 3820kg/8422 lbs. Bal.: 1290 kg/2844 lbs.

Mainsail: 25.80 m²/277 sq ft Self tacking jib: 15 m²/161 sq ft Genoa: 19 m²/205 sq ft
