About the Kalik 30

With limited specifications available, the Kalik 30 remains somewhat of an enigma in the sailing world, yet this scarcity of information often indicates a boutique or specialized design that didn't achieve mass production. Based on her 30-foot designation, this sailboat likely falls into the popular cruiser-racer category that dominated the late 20th century market. Boats of this size typically excel at coastal cruising and weekend adventures, offering an ideal balance between manageable single-handed sailing and comfortable accommodations for a small crew. The Kalik 30's design philosophy would have prioritized versatility, making her suitable for everything from afternoon sails to extended coastal passages. Without extensive production numbers or widespread recognition, the Kalik 30 may represent one of those hidden gems that serious sailors occasionally discover. These lesser-known designs often feature thoughtful construction details and sailing characteristics that reflect their designer's specific vision rather than mass-market compromises. For prospective buyers researching this model, the limited available information suggests the importance of thorough inspection and sea trials. While documentation may be scarce, the actual sailing experience will reveal whether this particular Kalik 30 delivers the performance and comfort expected from a well-executed 30-foot design.

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
174
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
16.32
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
20.16
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
2.12
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. 6.55
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
