About the Pointer 30

Launched in 2023 by Dutch builder Jachtwerf Heeg, this modern 32-footer represents a fresh approach to contemporary coastal cruising and club racing. Designed by Bosgraaf Yacht Design, the Pointer 30 combines Dutch engineering precision with thoughtful ergonomics for the modern sailor. The boat's fin keel configuration with dual rudders provides exceptional maneuverability and control, particularly beneficial for coastal sailing and marina handling. At 5,291 pounds with nearly 2,100 pounds of ballast, the design strikes a balance between stability and performance, while the fractional sloop rig offers versatile sail handling options across varying wind conditions. With a sail area to displacement ratio of 26.17, the Pointer 30 delivers spirited performance without being overly aggressive, making it well-suited for both weekend coastal cruising and competitive club racing. The hull's 7.18-knot theoretical hull speed suggests respectable passage-making capability for coastal voyages. The comfort ratio of 13.71 indicates a boat optimized more for performance than heavy-weather offshore passages, though the capsize screening value of 2.19 falls within acceptable parameters for coastal and near-shore sailing. The efficient 15-horsepower auxiliary provides adequate power for harbor maneuvering and calm-weather motoring.

Performance Ratios
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
 26.17
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
 39.58
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
 99.82
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
 13.71
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
 2.19
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. 7.18 kn
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
 5.06
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. 975.57 pounds/inch
SA/Displacement (Calc) Calculated Sail Area to Displacement ratio using actual measured sail dimensions rather than reported values. More precise than the reported SA/Disp figure. 22.14
