Designed by Sylvestre Langevin and first launched in 1976, this 30-foot sailboat represents a thoughtful approach to coastal cruising and club racing. Built by A & T Marine Services and Whisstock's Boatyard using aluminum and wood construction, the Naja 30 combines durability with classic aesthetics. The boat's fin keel configuration with transom-hung rudder provides responsive handling while maintaining good directional stability. With a masthead sloop rig carrying 361 square feet of sail area, she offers respectable performance for her size class. The moderate displacement of 7,200 pounds strikes a balance between sailing ability and interior volume, making her suitable for weekend cruising and longer coastal passages. Her comfort ratio of 18.53 suggests a relatively stiff, quick motion that favors performance-oriented sailing, while the capsize screening formula of 2.14 indicates reasonable stability for coastal and near-offshore conditions. The aluminum construction offers excellent longevity and low maintenance compared to fiberglass contemporaries, though it requires specific expertise for repairs. This Canadian design appeals to sailors seeking a well-built coastal cruiser that can handle spirited sailing while providing adequate accommodation for extended trips along protected coastlines and inland waters.
