HUMMINGBIRD 30, 1980

LOA: 9.14m LWL: 7.32m BEAM: 2.82m DRAFT: 1.52m DISP: 3,248kg

Builders: Hummingbird Yachts/Peter Webster Ltd (UK)

Designed by David Thomas, and built from 1979 to the early 1980s, the Hummingbird 30 was a modification of the Elizabethan 30 cruiser-racer design, with more emphasis on cruising accommodation. The underwater body and keel/rudder are identical to the Elizabethan 30, but the coachroof is slightly higher, and extends further aft, to increase headroom and interior space. By a slight modification to the transom mouldings, the cockpit is also extended aft slightly.

The Elizabethan 30 hull form is regarded as a classic design, and in 2010 was named as one of their "used boats of the year" by 'Sailing Today' magazine, in which review they said: " has all the advantages of the Contessa fast, well mannered and extremely seaworthy" They also suggested: "If you like the Elizabethan, but are concerned about interior space, you could always look for the (rare) Hummingbird 30...."

Owner's Comments

We bought Pleasant Winds from a lovely couple who have had her for decades before us. She has been all over the west coasts of England and Scotland.
Apparently the more famous Elizabethan 30 has the same hull with a different topside moulding the Hummingbird is the cruising version with more living space.
On purchase we had her surveyed and following their advice replaced the rigging and undertook a winters work reenforcing the mast foot. We have also extensively replaced the wiring and created the new electronics box and replaced the cockpit floor.
We have had a lovely time with her and explored much of the Clyde and Inner Lorne we now have a young son and have set up as a sailing business for disabled sailors. Both of these things require a quite different boat and so we must let our lovely boat go.
This is a solid and heavy but narrow boat, she punches through the waves and sits upright in a blow
it’s almost like a British person designed a boat for British waters - steep seas and sudden gusts. She’s no caravan and no mediterranean cruiser but she is a dependable, quick adventure cruising boat.
