The T30 is a new design based on the development of the sucsessful T30’s built in 1999. Careful attention has been paid to incorporate a fully functional interior without effecting the performance of the boat. The boat is being built in the best possible methods to acheive a high quality performance racing and cruising yacht.
The first boats are being built in New Zealand.
Purchase and Build Options :
Design
The T30 is designed as a one design with the added advantage of being a superb PHRF racer often beating much larger boats around the course.
The designers have utilised the latest VPP software to help create a boat that is very fast and stable upwind yet exhilarating downwind.
It features a very roomy boat both inside and out without sacrificing any of the performance characteristics.
The rig is simply setup with the ability to adjust the mast bend as required with the permanent backstay. The mast is designed with the mainsail roach to bend in the puffs and allow the mainsail to exhaust.
Construction
The T30 is constructed from female moulds to provide consistant quality. The boat is vacuum bagged into the moulds using a combination of carbon fiber and eglass with a foam core.
The keel and rudder are constructed using carbon fiber stiffening.
Rig – The mast is carbon fiber, rigging is Dyform with aluminium spreaders and boom.
The bow prod is articulating and carbon fiber.
Deck Fitout – Full Harken fitout with winch options.

Trailer and launching – The boat can be trailer launched using the custom keel winch or dry sailed with the central lifting hook.
