Granada 30 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used market for a Granada 30 means looking at a late-1970s Elvstrøm & Kjærulff design built by Granada Yachts A/S in solid fiberglass, with a lead fin keel and fractional sloop rig. Fewer than 100 were built and production also occurred at other yards, so each example needs individual judgment.
Layouts on the Used Market
No specific interior layouts or factory variants are described for the Granada 30, so view the cabin plan individually. The 30-foot hull with about 9.5-foot beam and 5.4–5.7-foot draft supports a conventional small-cruiser arrangement, and the 25.9-foot waterline keeps her compact below.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Cabin heating and a short-handed sail-handling setup are commonly fitted on Granada 30s in the brokerage pool. The period running rigging is a reference: jib and genoa sheets about 30 feet on 1/2-inch line, mainsheet near 75 feet, spinnaker sheets around 66 feet, all 12 mm. The Volvo Penta MD2020 diesel is standard and the 11-gallon fuel tank suits weekend use. A 33 percent ballast ratio and 865 pounds per inch immersion describe a stiff, load-sensitive hull.
What to Inspect
Because the Granada 30 was built both by Granada Yachts A/S and at other yards, check whether the keel is lead or iron — tap and survey the ballast. Verify the draft range of 5.4 to 5.7 feet against waterline and load. Inspect the fractional rig sheet sizes for wear or mismatch. Multiple-buildyard history means hull-deck joint detailing should be examined for non-standard work.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Granada 30s are found in Denmark. For a buyer, the short checklist is:
- Confirm keel ballast material by survey, not assumption.
- Measure draft at the viewing against the 5.4–5.7 foot range.
- Check all sheet lengths and diameters for wear or mismatch.
- Look for non-standard hull-deck joint work from other yards.
- Test the Volvo Penta MD2020 under load for rated output.
