Built in limited numbers with only seven hulls launched between 1993 and beyond, this Rogers Yachts Design creation represents a focused approach to performance-oriented sailing. The Rogers 30 combines a sleek fin keel with bulb configuration and fractional sloop rig to deliver impressive sailing characteristics for its size class. With a displacement of 5,732 pounds and generous sail area of 710 square feet, this fiberglass construction yacht achieves a sail area to displacement ratio that clearly positions it in performance territory rather than heavy cruising. The deep 6.40-foot draft and modern fin keel design with bulb provide excellent upwind ability and stability, making this boat well-suited for competitive sailing and spirited coastal cruising. The relatively low comfort ratio of 11.6 reflects the boat's performance-first philosophy, prioritizing speed and handling over interior volume. However, the capsize screening formula of 2.46 indicates reasonable stability characteristics for offshore ventures when conditions permit. The fractional rig setup offers versatility in sail handling and the ability to depower effectively in stronger winds. Given its limited production run and performance-oriented design, the Rogers 30 appeals to sailors seeking a distinctive, fast coastal cruiser or club racer with excellent sailing qualities and responsive handling characteristics.
