Designed by the renowned C&C Design team and built by Lancer Yacht Corp. from 1978 to 1985, this 29-foot sailboat represents solid Canadian design philosophy from the late 1970s cruising boom. The fin keel and spade rudder configuration delivers responsive handling characteristics that make her well-suited for coastal cruising and weekend sailing adventures. With 8,200 pounds of displacement and 3,000 pounds of ballast, the Lancer 30 4 strikes a reasonable balance between stability and performance. Her masthead sloop rig provides straightforward sail handling, while the fiberglass construction ensures durability and relatively low maintenance requirements. The moderate beam of 10 feet creates comfortable interior volume without sacrificing sailing ability. The boat's design reflects the era's emphasis on practical cruising sailboats that could handle a variety of conditions without requiring expert seamanship. Her hull speed of 6.56 knots and overall proportions suggest she'll be most at home in coastal waters, offering pleasant sailing characteristics for couples or small families. The C&C pedigree brings credibility to the design, as the firm was known for creating boats that sailed well while remaining accessible to recreational sailors seeking reliable performance on the water.
