About the Creekmore 30 2

Designed by Lee Creekmore and built by Creekmore Boats starting in 1984, this 30-foot masthead sloop represents a well-balanced approach to coastal cruising and club racing. With its fin keel configuration and moderate displacement of 8,000 pounds, the Creekmore 30 2 offers a responsive sailing experience while maintaining the stability needed for comfortable cruising. The boat's generous beam of 10.42 feet provides excellent interior volume and initial stability, while the substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio of 50% ensures good ultimate stability and seaworthy characteristics. The masthead sloop rig with 430 square feet of sail area delivers solid performance in light to moderate conditions, making it well-suited for weekend coastal adventures and day sailing. Built with fiberglass construction, these boats demonstrate typical 1980s construction standards with reasonable durability for their age. The comfort ratio of 20.89 indicates a boat that favors performance over pure comfort, appealing to sailors who enjoy an active sailing experience. The capsize screening formula of 2.09 suggests good offshore capability, though the design is most at home in protected waters and coastal environments where its balanced characteristics truly shine.

Performance Ratios
PHRF Rating PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) is a national racing handicap measured in seconds per nautical mile. Lower values indicate faster boats. Ratings are sourced from US Sailing's national database (median across 60+ regional fleets).
Under 0 — Ultralight racer0–90 — Performance racer90–150 — Cruiser/racer150–210 — Typical cruiserOver 210 — Heavy/slow cruiser
 186
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 17.26
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
 50
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
 245.25
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 20.89
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 2.09
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.62 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 909.20 pounds/inch
