Odyssey 30 Performance — PHRF, SA/D, Hull Speed & Sailing Characteristics

The Odyssey 30 is designed for cruising comfort rather than racing.

Hull Speed

The theoretical displacement-mode speed limit — determined by waterline length, not engine or sail power.

6.8 kts

A displacement hull pushes a bow wave whose speed is limited by the waterline length. With a waterline of 26.0′, the Odyssey 30 tops out around 6.8 knots in displacement mode — after that, the bow wave outruns the hull and resistance climbs steeply.

1.34 × √26.0′ LWL = 6.8 kts

Performance Ratios

Racing handicap, sail-carrying power, stability and comfort — and what each one actually tells you about a day on the water.

PHRF Rating

153s/nm

Typical cruiser — designed for comfort and ease, not podium finishes.

Ballast / Displacement

43.9%

Stiff enough to carry a big genoa comfortably into moderate breeze.

Displacement / Length

191

Moderate — a good balance of speed and load-carrying ability.

Hull Speed

6.8kts

Pounds/Inch Immersion

6lbs

Weight needed to sink the hull one inch — loading sensitivity.
