Hello everyone. I am pleased with my home built sailboat, it is just under 22 feet in length and displaces 3.5 tons. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to have a slightly larger boat with an inboard diesel engine ( i am getting on in age 67 ). Iv'e always liked the look of the Halmatic 30 ( similar shape to my boat ), and wanted to ask if any body on the forum owns or has owned one, what are they like in build quality and how they sail and how comfortable they are. I am only dreaming at the moment, but maybe one day ..... Best regards to all.

Halmatic 30 is a lovely boat and built like a brick outhouse. Fitting out standards can vary as I believe some were amateur builds (and some of those amateur are also the best) but at this age it's all dependant on maintenance anyway. Buy a nice condition one with newish sails and electronics, etc. for a few thousand or so more than an older one. If you really want a nice one look out for a good condition Barbican 30 (same hull) but expect £20K+ I would think. Not heard of any osmosis issues (which would just be cosmetic anyway). Halmatic 30 Mark II has much nicer windows both to look at from outside and to get light to the inside. They sail much as you would expect, not light on the helm for the size but can be very well balanced if the rig is set up correctly. Long keel so going astern can be a challenge sometimes but they're a long way from the worst and you can learn to compensate for it. Heavyish displacement but go surprisingly well in light winds once they're moving - lovely motion most of the time and a great boat for crossing the channel and cruising areas where the sea can be a bit choppy or confused. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect from looking at it really.

Same hull used, I believe, on an Anderson 30. Supposed to be a slightly improved version of the Hurley.

I haven't owned one but I have a very experienced friend who owned one for many years. It was a good strong seaworthy boat. I think you could do a lot worse.

The hulls were moulded in the same factory as the Nicolson 32 to the same quality,

I nearly bought one myself once. Look out for mast compression problems on the coachroof. I was very impressed with the standard of fit out below, on the production boat. I think a few of the remarks, so far, are wayward of the mark in linking this design to this or that. In particular it stands apart from the Nicholson 31, Anderson and Hurley; though the design did become the Barbican 30. Check out sailboatdata.

I had one for several years., sailed by my wife and myself, mainly. It sailed beautifully, fast and close winded. Nice fine entry, so no slamming in head seas. Easily reefed at the mast, a very stable platform. I didnt find her heavy to steer. Mine had an anchor windlass, anchor on chocks on the foredeck. Accomodation is necessarily limited, with no pilot berth. I really liked the lateral facing chart table, and the heads are spacious for a boat of this size and type. There is enormous stowage inside, with big cockpit lockers, but the wooden locker lids are a bit basic. There was always some water in the deep bilges, and battery space is limited by the GRP mouldings. The engine access hatch in the cockpit sole is a bit quirky, only giving limited access. The Barbican 30 as mentioned has a very classy fit out, but command top prices. I have sailed a Nic 32 for several weeks, which was much heavier to steer, especially down wind, and the cockpit was too deep for us. I havent sailed the Nic 31, but it seems very similar to the Hal. 30 and looks nice. I sold my Hal. 30 to get a bigger boat with wheel steering, as I got fed up with unreliable tiller pilots when sailing & motoring shorthanded.

I sail on my mates one now and then. It’s great. It’s truly in its element beating into a force 5 or 6, where it feels surefooted and close winded. A proper boat, and no mistaking it.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful replies. There are a few Halmatics for sale at the moment, i'll keep looking.

Bajansailor

Hi Bajansailor, thank you very much for a copy of the Halmatic information, and for going to so much trouble. I will read through it with great interest. Best regards.

Sorry, I'm a bit late to the party on this one but as an ex-Halmatic 30 owner, may I add a few comments of my own? Firstly, AFAIK the hull (designed by John Sharp) has no connection to any of the Anderson, Hurley or Nicholson designs mentioned previously (aren't the first two of those classes fin keel rather than long keel?) and the ballast is NOT encapsulated it's an external iron keel - or at least, that was the case on my Mk1 Halmatic (built '79/'80). Also, I'm not aware of any differences in the windows between the Mk1 and the Mk2 - although there was a radical change when Mike Spry (Barbican Yachts) started building the boat (very nicely!) as the Barbican 30. One thing to be aware of - certainly in the Mk1 - is the inadequate fastening of the chainplates. Most will have been upgraded by now with substantial SS fittings through bolted inside. I speak from first hand experience there as after an all night beat across the Golfe de Lyon during a Tramontana with 45kts apparent wind, there were a few cracks in the deck caused by movement of the chainplates. Apart from that, the boat did fantastically well. As to the differences between the Mk 1 and the Mk2, the Mk1 has the layout shown in Bajansailor's brochure and has a bigger mainsail with the end of the boom sheeting to a bridle on the transom. The Mk2 has a smaller main (about 30 sq ft less IIRC) and a shorter boom which sheets to a track on the bridge deck. Internally the Mk2 has a different seating and table arrangement but also does away with the starboard side pilot berth. None had quarter berths. Just to confuse the issue, there were some (we knew them as Mk 1 and a half) which had a mixture of features of the Mk 1 and the Mk 2. It was either the Mk2 internal layout with the Mk1 rig or vice versa, I'm afraid I can't remember which. The Halmatic 30 sails very well indeed and given the correct sail plan can be trimmed to sail herself to windward; ours did when the steering line on the Aries chafed through and nobody noticed for some time - it was blowing a good F6 plus at the time too. One big plus is the heads compartment - exceptional for a boat of that size. All in all, a highly recommended cruiser quite capable of crossing oceans. Many have, and at least one has circumnavigated all but the last 'easy' bit along the Med from the Red Sea to cross the outbound track in Gib' (due health reasons, nothing to do with the boat). Edit: if you want to see pics of a Mk 2 for comparison, there is a good set of pics on yachtsnet.co.uk

Thanks for the great information, Goldie. With all the help iv'e received on this forum i have a better idea of what to look for in a Halmatic. Overall, it sounds like just the boat i would like to own.

I am a current owner and really enjoy sailing her. The only thing I can add to the above is the solid laminate cabin roof (about an inch thick), this was a huge deciding factor for me having suffered water ingress into balsa core on a previous boat. It's no surprise to me that Halmatic went on to build boats for the RNLI.

Hi andyj301 and thanks for the info, i am really starting to persuade myself that i need to get myself one of these boats!

Just a few points: Sideways seating to chart table may be annoying if your left handed (I’m reliably informed) - for right handed it’s surprisingly comfortable to work at. Small fuel tank from the days of small engines. If you find one that’s been upgraded to a thirstier engine from the original MD7, then you could do with more. You could actually do with more anyway. Don’t even think about leading lines aft, the coach roof coaming makes it impractical. With those out of the way, a terrific cruiser and a joy to sail. Nice lines, uncluttered non slip decks (no tread master/deck paint). Comfortable cockpit. Very spacious accommodation for her size thanks to her beam and low cabin sole. Heads compartment is luxurious for a 30 footer. Oh and joy of joys, an extra cockpit locker instead of a b****** quarter berth - still sleeps six with the pilot berth, though why would anyone want to? Late seventies Formica in the galley is a bit icky. Motoring astern is, shall we say, a challenge, but you wanted a long keel right? Long ago I owned a Nic32. In my opinion the Halmatic is a better boat to sail and certainly to live on.

Hi Randolph, thanks for your info regarding the Halmatic. So far it all points to a good cruising boat. My current boat, ( a flicka designed by Bruce Bingham, but enlarged to 21 feet 9 inches with the help of his father, Fred, and built by me 25 years ago. ), looks similar in hull shape to the Halmatic, hence my interest. My boat has a mind of it's own when it comes to going astern. I only have an 8hp outboard for power, and coming onto my berth is awkward with having to hang over the stern to change gear or alter the throttle, while at the same time using the tiller to direct the boat to her berth and avoiding nudging my neighbour's boat. The idea of a boat that is so similar to mine, but with a bit more room and an inboard diesel sounds really apealing as i am getting too old for acrobatics. Best regards.

Review of Halmatic 30

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat is equipped with 170.0 liter fresh water capacity.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

The Halmatic 30 is equipped with a long keel. A full keel provide a better directional stability than a similar boat with a fin keel; on the other hand, better directional stability means also that the boat is more difficult to handle in a harbour with less space.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.37 - 1.47 meter (4.49 - 4.79 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Halmatic 30 is typically equipped with a Kubota D850 diesel engine.

The fuel tank has a capacity of 45.0 liters (11 US gallons, 9 imperial gallons).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Halmatic 30 is 1.76, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.4 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Halmatic 30 is about 135 kg/cm, alternatively 757 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 135 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 757 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 14.75

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 15m 2 (161 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

If you need to renew parts of your running rig and is not quite sure of the dimensions, you may find the estimates computed below useful.


Usage	Length		Diameter
Jib sheet	9.0 m	(29.5 feet)	10 mm	(3/8 inch)
Genoa sheet	9.0 m	(29.5 feet)	10 mm	(3/8 inch)
Mainsheet	22.5 m	(73.7 feet)	10 mm	(3/8 inch)
Spinnaker sheet	19.8 m	(64.9 feet)	10 mm	(3/8 inch)

Sailboat Guide

Halmatic 30

Halmatic 30 is a 29 ′ 5 ″ / 9 m monohull sailboat designed by John B. Sharp and built by Halmatic Ltd. between 1979 and 1988.

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)

The later BARBICAN 30 is based on this same design.

Halmatic 30

The Halmatic 30 has timeless seagoing qualities...

Product Overview

Overall rating:, manufacturer:, price as reviewed:.

The Halmatic 30 was born in 1979, the year 15 sailors lost their lives in the Fastnet Race tragedy. Although her lines were considered a trifle dated by some, the subsequent disaster inquiry had a lot to say in favour of traditional design. Since then, the Halmatic 30 has proved to be a tough seagoing boat with many seamanlike features, plus an enviable reputation as a serious, long-distance cruising yacht for a couple. This is reflected in her price, which has held up well compared to many others of her vintage.

Halmatic 30

The halmatic 30 is a 29.5ft masthead sloop designed by john b sharp and built in fiberglass by halmatic ltd. between 1979 and 1988., 95 units have been built..

The Halmatic 30 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a short water supply range.

. About 200 Halmatic 30s were built in total, the boat illustrated being one of the later Mk II versions. Most Halmatic 30s had the Volvo MD7 diesel, but some later boats had the Volvo 2002 engine.

The moulds of the Halmatic 30 were taken over by Barbican Yachts at Plymouth, after production by Halmatic ceased, the design re-emerging as the , with minor charges to the deck and coachroof, and internal ballast instead of the external ballast of the Halmatic 30. Barbican Yachts are now no longer in business.

On the early Halmatic 30s a known weak point was the lower shroud attachment to an alloy plate embedded in the deck moulding. Many older boats will have been modified by now, with internal tie-brackets to the main bulkhead, as fitted to later boats, but this does not detract greatly from what is a superb little serious cruising yacht.

Broker's Comments

Again we at Boatshed Cornwall are delighted to list this Halmatic 30 MkII Sailing Yacht for sale.

The Halmatic 30 MkII is based on the well-known Camper & Nicholson Nicholson 31 sailing yacht. A displacement long keeler built between 1979 to 1988. When Halmatic ceased to produce this fine yacht it later became the Barbican 30, built by Barbican Yachts.

This Halmatic 30 MkII has been inspected ashore, laid up for the winter period and will soon be prepared for launching, for the summer season. First impressions indicated a clean and tidy yacht and once onboard it appeared to be well maintained and cared for.

Recent improvements and upgrades include, yet not limited to:

Shore power inlet with new ‘breaker box’ (2023) Digital Yacht AIT 5000 Class B + AIS Transponder (2023) Raymarine i70 pack (LED display, inc. new wind mast head gear, depth & speed transducers (2022) Boarding ladder - hull fixed (2022) 70 m of anchor chain, (30m new 2020) New spreader deck lights (2020) New navigation lights throughout, all with LED bulbs (2020) Staysail - with roller furling (2019). Beta 20, gearbox and prop, fitted October (2014)

A reluctant sale, yet still treated as part of the family. This Halmatic 30 MkII appears to be well maintained with a strong solid build, an adaptable cutter rig, a relatively new inboard engine (2014), with only 350 hours, up to date GPS/AIS navigation equipment and new Raymarine boat instrumentation (2023).

As already commented, this Halmatic 30 MkII appears to be a well cared for and used sailing yacht. Once launched some 'on the water' photos will be available, when it has had a spring clean and the sails are rigged.

It is recommended that to appreciate this yacht a viewing is strongly recommended, if this is indeed what you are looking for.

These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Description

This Halmatic 30 has been uniquely owned by just one owner. She is still very pure with her hank on headsail. She is looking for a new owner to continue adventures. She appears to have been well cared for with upgraded equipment such as a brand new multi-function display unit not even yet wired in. Her owner regularly sailed single handed and felt she was a very sea worthy capable yacht having sailed just about everywhere. She has a smart blue hull and offers a lot of space in her cockpit and interior. She is a tidy classic. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered. Register with Boatshed to see 88 extra photos of this Halmatic 30 . This Halmatic 30 has been personally photographed and viewed by Samantha Cassell of Boatshed Portsmouth.

'Vega' , a Halmatic 30 Sailboat for Sale

Although this boat is no longer available, the pics and text are retained here for the benefit of anyone researching this particular make/model of sailboat.

Asking Price and previous owner's contact details have been deleted.

My Halmatic 30 'Vega' is one of the best fitted out pocket blue water cruisers on the market at the moment, with an entire new rig in 2016, large functional cruising sail wardrobe of recent sails, watermaker and full electronics package.

Yachting Monthly’s review in 2013 tells us that the Halmatic 30 is...

"Tough, seaworthy, reassuring and easy to sail solo, the Halmatic 30 is also well balanced on the helm and powerful in a blow to boot. She’s no slouch either. But perhaps her strongest suit is her easy motion at sea. All heavy stowage is low down, along the centre-line – fresh water, batteries and fuel, as well as the engine – giving her a low centre of gravity and a commendable righting moment."

This has certainly been proven in our 5 years of ownership where she has been tested in Britain, Atlantic France, the Western Med, through the French Canals and most recently offshore across the Bay of Biscay to Madeira and the Canary Islands where she currently lies ready to continue the adventure.

'Vega's interior is very comfortable for a boat of this type and size, and has been a fantastic home for us but now we need a little more room to accommodate our growing family.

'Vega' is fully prepared for further ocean voyaging and is prepositioned to enjoy the cruising grounds of the Canary Islands or make a crossing this season if the new owner so desired.

What is the Halmatic 30 like to sail?

Based on Published Design Ratios for the Halmatic 30:

Her Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 16.0 suggests that she will, in the right conditions, approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the performance expectations of most cruising sailors.
Her Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 50.0 means that she will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.
Her Displacement/Length Ratio of 338 tells us she is clearly a heavy displacement cruising boat. You can load her down with all your cruising gear and equipment and it will hardly affect her waterline.
Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 27.9 suggests that crew comfort in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability.

Broker's Comments

Regarded as a highly capable sea-going yacht, the Halmatic 30 has a loyal band of followers who value them for their reasonable turn of speed and fine sailing qualities. This example appears to be tidy, fairly well-equipped and apparently well-maintained. Her engine was re-built in 2005, and she has been re-upholstered. She has roller-boom reefing, a system enhanced by a purpose-manufactured sail designed for the function. Some potential buyers might wish to upgrade her somewhat dated (but functional) instrumentation, but the inherent virtues of the design shine through.

HALMATIC 30
A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
Halmatic 30
The Halmatic 30 is a remarkably versatile yacht. Her rig delivers ample power in light airs, yet she'll take stronger winds in her stride. She's well-suited to a swinging mooring but her modest overall length won't make marina berthing prohibitively expensive. While trickier to 'park' than a typical 'fin-and-spade' cruiser, she ...
Halmatic 30
Halmatic 30 is a lovely boat and built like a brick outhouse. Fitting out standards can vary as I believe some were amateur builds (and some of those amateur are also the best) but at this age it's all dependant on maintenance anyway. Buy a nice condition one with newish sails and electronics, etc. for a few thousand or so more than an older one.
Review of Halmatic 30
The DL-ratio for Halmatic 30 is 377 which categorizes this boat among 'heavy cruisers'. Heavy Light 7% 0 50 100. 7% of all similar sailboat designs are categorized as heavier. A heavy displacement combined with smaller water plane area has lower acceleration and is more comfortable.
Halmatic 30
Halmatic 30 is a 29′ 5″ / 9 m monohull sailboat designed by John B. Sharp and built by Halmatic Ltd. between 1979 and 1988. ... 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. Formula. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ D: Displacement of the boat in pounds. LWL ...
Halmatic 30
The Halmatic 30 was born in 1979, the year 15 sailors lost their lives in the Fastnet Race tragedy. Although her lines were considered a trifle dated by some, the subsequent disaster inquiry had a lot to say in favour of traditional design. ... Since then, the Halmatic 30 has proved to be a tough seagoing boat with many seamanlike features ...
Halmatic 30
The Halmatic 30 is a 29.5ft masthead sloop designed by John B Sharp and built in fiberglass by Halmatic Ltd. between 1979 and 1988. 95 units have been built.
