The Clansman 30 is a 30-foot class of narrow-beam full-keel yacht manufactured on the New South Wales Central Coast of Australia. Production ran from 1965 through 1985, with hull numbers from 1 to 108. The last Clansman was launched in 1994. The Clansman was one of the first fiberglass production yachts in Australia and arguably was one of the strongest. The Clansman was laid up extremely thick, with solid glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) hull and GRP and plywood deck. The interior furniture was made of plywood and glassed in place. Although rough by today's standards, the fit out proved functional and strong. It is an exceptional sea boat that has stood the test of time in performance in adverse conditions, with one of the class (hull number 7) having been sailed from Australia to the east coast of the USA. An active class association still exists. The Clansman 30 was designed and built by East Coast Yachts in Gosford NSW. The builder was Bruce Fairlie who owned and operated the business. The Clansman was one of many yachts he built, however the Clansman was the only yacht Fairlie designed himself. While designed by Fairlie the Clansman has a very strong resemblance to the Elizabethan 29, an English yacht. All other boats built by East Coast Yachts were designed by Peter Cole, another famous Australian yacht designer. The Peter Cole designs built by East Coast Yachts were the Contessa 25, Cole 43 and East Coast 31; all solid seagoing vessels (Article in the "The Sydney Morning Herald" June 10 1966: Clansman has style,speed and six berths ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clansman 30」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
