Coronado 30

Built during the early 1970s sailing boom, this 30-footer from Coronado Yachts represents classic American coastal cruising design. The Finch & Butler-designed hull features a modern fin keel and spade rudder configuration that provides responsive handling while maintaining the stability needed for comfortable family sailing. With a displacement of 8,500 pounds and moderate sail area, the Coronado 30 strikes a practical balance between performance and cruising comfort. The masthead sloop rig is straightforward to handle, making it well-suited for couples or small crews tackling weekend coastal adventures or longer passages in protected waters. The 10-foot beam provides generous interior volume for a boat of this era, while the 5.3-foot draft allows access to many popular cruising destinations. The comfort ratio of 23.54 indicates a boat that prioritizes seakindly motion over pure speed, though the SA/Displacement ratio suggests adequate performance in moderate conditions. Built with fiberglass construction during Coronado's active period from 1969 to 1974, these boats established a reputation for solid construction and practical layout. Today, the Coronado 30 appeals to sailors seeking an affordable entry into cruising or those wanting a manageable boat for coastal exploration without the complexity of larger vessels.
