Jazz 30
Designed by Jacques Mertens
A 30 ft (9.15 m) power catamaran for fishing, a Woods Designs boat by Richard Woods offered through Bateau / Boat Builder Central. Beam is 14 ft, hull draft 14 in and empty weight about 3,100 lb. Twin outboards of 40 to 60 hp are specified, with an estimated 25 knots on the larger pair. The provisional study plan shows a drop-on cuddy with inside steering and room for a galley and heads, or an open console layout with T-top and flybridge.
The seller's page gives no building method, skill level or hours, only a provisional study plan. As a rule of thumb a power catamaran of this size is a project of several thousand hours for an experienced amateur. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Jazz 30 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
