Clansman 30

This Clansman 30 is a solid and well-maintained Australian cruising yacht, offering the proven seaworthiness, straightforward handling and classic character for which the design is well regarded.

Located on Sydney Harbour and offered at $22,000 negotiable, she is ready to sail and would suit a range of uses, from harbour cruising and weekends away to club racing and longer coastal passages. With some additional setup, she also has good potential for single-handed cruising.

The yacht has benefited from several important recent maintenance items, including new standing rigging in 2024 and a fresh antifoul and propeller shaft anode in April 2026.

Power is provided by a regularly serviced Yanmar diesel, showing approximately 590 engine hours. The fuel system includes a 120-litre main tank, currently dry, together with a 10-litre day tank.

Below deck, the original interior is reported to remain in excellent condition, presenting as warm, dry and well cared for. The saloon provides comfortable seating for four, while the galley is equipped with a sink, icebox and two-burner metho stove.

Accommodation includes a double V-berth forward, two quarter berths and a saloon that converts to provide an additional double berth, making good use of the available space aboard this 30-footer.

The sail inventory includes a mainsail, roller-furling jib, two symmetrical spinnakers with pole, multipurpose sail, storm main and No. 2 and No. 3 hank-on jibs.

Safety and general equipment includes navigation lights, lifejackets, fire extinguisher, radio, fenders and boat hook.

The Clansman 30 has earned a strong reputation as a robust and seaworthy design, combining manageable size with genuine cruising capability. This example has the added benefit of recently replaced rigging and up-to-date below-water maintenance, taking care of two significant considerations for the next owner.

A reluctant sale due to relocation, she presents as an appealing option for someone looking for a dependable and characterful yacht for Sydney Harbour, coastal cruising or club sailing.

Inspections are welcome.
