Arcadia 30 Jeanneau Cb

Designed by renowned naval architect Tony Castro and built by French manufacturer Jeanneau starting in 1983, this 30-foot sailboat represents a thoughtful balance between performance and practicality. The Arcadia 30 features a distinctive keel/centerboard configuration with spade rudder, offering versatility for sailors who want to explore shallow waters while maintaining good upwind performance in deeper conditions. With a displacement of 6,835 pounds and 2,912 pounds of ballast, the boat strikes a moderate chord between the heavy cruisers and light racers of its era. The masthead sloop rig carries 378 square feet of sail area, providing adequate power for coastal cruising and weekend sailing. Castro's design philosophy is evident in the hull's lines, which prioritize seaworthiness over outright speed. The comfort ratio of 18.14 suggests a boat that moves through the water with reasonable motion, while the capsize screening value of 2.18 indicates good stability characteristics suitable for coastal and near-offshore sailing. The fiberglass construction typical of Jeanneau's build quality ensures durability and relatively low maintenance. This boat appeals to sailors seeking a capable coastal cruiser with the flexibility to venture into shoal waters when the centerboard is raised.
