Quest 30 Martin

Designed by Roger Martin and built by Holby Marine starting in 1994, this rare 30-footer represents an intriguing blend of performance and cruising capabilities. With only seven hulls ever constructed, the Quest 30 stands as an exclusive entry in the competitive 30-foot sailboat market. The boat's sophisticated hull design features a fin keel with bulb and innovative dual rudder configuration, providing enhanced control and responsiveness. At 5,750 pounds with 1,700 pounds of ballast, the Quest 30 achieves a notably low comfort ratio of 12.16, indicating a relatively stiff, performance-oriented platform that prioritizes sailing ability over motion comfort at anchor. The fractional sloop rig carries 492 square feet of sail area, delivering a sail area to displacement ratio of 24.6 that places this boat firmly in high-performance territory. This configuration makes it well-suited for spirited coastal sailing and club racing, while the substantial 6.90-foot draft ensures excellent upwind performance. The capsize screening formula of 2.57 suggests good stability characteristics for offshore ventures, though the boat's performance orientation and limited production numbers indicate it's primarily designed for experienced sailors seeking a fast, responsive sailing platform rather than a traditional family cruiser.
