A classic, strong-hulled ocean-racer

FOR SALE

1972 Yankee 30 MK1

Berthed at Watergate Marina in Kemah, Texas.

REMARKS

This is hull number 85, named "Vim", which I've owned for 5 years. The boat is in good condition and sails regularly.

DESCRIPTION

The Yankee 30 is a classic Sparkman & Stephens design with a very good reputation as a well-balanced ocean racer that handles well, rides comfortablly, and is stoutly built. The mast is tall, keel-stepped, and provides a high-aspect sail plan. Motion comfort is increased due to high ballast to displacement and narrow beam, which affords a stiff, dry ride to weather. The rudder is bustle and skeg-mounted, providing good steering.
