Design
The Santana 30/30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|5.50|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel fitted.
The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo diesel engine of {{convert|13|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}. The fuel tank holds {{convert|20|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank also has a capacity of {{convert|20|u.s.gal}}.
The design's galley is split with a two-burner alcohol stove and sink on the starboard side and the icebox on the port side, doubling as a navigation table. The head is located forward, just aft of the bow "V"-berth, and includes a hanging locker. Additional sleeping accommodation includes two cabin berths, plus separate dinette settees. There is a large hatch forward.
The mainsheet traveler is mid-cockpit, the halyards are internally-mounted and there are four winches. The Cunningham is a 3:1 arrangement, which the foreguy is 2:1 and the boom vang is 12:1. The boom has two flattening reefs and an internal outhaul and topping lift. The genoa tracks and toe rails are made from aluminum.
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 141.
Operational history
Reviewer Richard Sherwood wrote of the design, "this Santana was designed to the MORC rule. Displacement is moderate. The bow is fine and the transom broad. The over-hanging transom reduces length and wetted surface in light air, increasing water line as heeled. She is a performance cruiser, with the emphasis on performance.
Bill Brockaway noted in Sailing World, "the GP, with its lower cabin and fewer interior amenities, is the model you want for racing. A typical PHRF rating for the Santana 30/30 GP is 114, and the boat is raced with six crew."{{cite web|url = https://www.sailingworld.com/sailboats/santana-30-30|title = Santana 30/30|access-date = 22 May 2019|last = Brockway|first = Bill|work = Sailing World|date = 8 February 2002|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20141128042453/https://www.sailingworld.com/sailboats/santana-30-30|archivedate =28 November 2014}}
