Yachtsnet's
archive of boat details and pictures
|
| |
The following information and photographs are
displayed as a service to anyone researching yacht types. Details
and photographs are normally based on one specific yacht, but could
be a compilation. No reliance should be placed on other yachts of
the same class being identical. Where common variations exist,
we have endeavoured to indicate this in these archive details.
The price guide covers the normal ranges of age and condition. Exceptional
boats, whether good or bad, may fall outside these guidelines. |

Designed as a smaller
version of the Nicholson 31, the Halmatic 30 is in very much the
same style - a heavy displacement long-keeler with a high ballast
ratio. They are strongly built and have an excellent reputation
as a serious seagoing yacht. |

Halmatic are a long-established yacht and shipbuilder,
and for many years moulded the hulls for the Nicholson range
of yachts. Now part of Vosper Thorneycroft, Halmatic are still
in business, although they now mostly build much larger craft
- from naval vessels to superyachts
Designed for Halmatic by John Sharp, the Halmatic 30 was
built from the late 1970s to mid 1980s. The design is in many
ways similar to the Nicholson
31. About 200 Halmatic 30s were built in total, the boat
illustrated being one of the later Mk II versions.
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 Barbican 30, with minor charges
to the deck and coachroof. Barbican Yachts are now no longer
in business.
On the original Halmatic 30s the one known weak point was
the lower shroud attachments (an alloy plate embedded in the
deck moulding). Many boats will have been modified by now,
but this does not detract greatly from what is otherwise a
superb little serious cruising yacht. |
