Designed by C. A. Martzoucos and built by Olympic Yachts Ltd. in Canada beginning in 1967, this 30-foot masthead sloop represents classic late-1960s cruising yacht design philosophy. The Princess combines moderate proportions with thoughtful engineering, featuring a fin keel configuration that balances performance with stability. With nearly half her displacement carried as ballast and a comfort ratio of 28.61, this yacht prioritizes seaworthiness over outright speed, making her well-suited for coastal cruising and extended passages. The capsize screening formula of 1.82 places her within accepted parameters for offshore work, while her hull speed of 6.33 knots reflects the conservative design approach typical of her era. The fiberglass construction provides durability and lower maintenance compared to wooden contemporaries, while the 425 square feet of sail area delivers adequate power without overwhelming the boat in fresh conditions. Her beam of 9.50 feet offers reasonable interior volume for a yacht of this length, creating comfortable accommodations for weekend getaways or longer cruises. This Olympic Princess appeals to sailors seeking a proven, traditionally-styled cruiser with the reliability and character that comes from five decades of refinement. She's particularly attractive to those who value seaworthiness over racing performance.
