Yankee 30 Mark III
Sleek, beautiful lines, racing performance, handsome accommodations and safety . . . nothing’s compromised in the new ¾ ton IOR Mark III version of the famous Yankee 30!
Designed by Sparkman & Stephens expressly for Yankee Yachts, as an optimum performance racing/criising sloop with a tall rig to make her go fast in the light stuff, high ballast to displacement ration to make her stiff and dry to weather, and a bustle and skeg-mounted rudder for ideal handling off the wind, the Yankee 30 has been a consistent wnner in nationwide competition from her first race.
Now Sparkman & Stephens and Yankee Yachts make a great boat even more competitive as a ¾ ton level racer! Taller mast, greater sail area and increased ballast bring her right up to the IOR Mark III rule.
In keeping with Yankee Yachts’ established reputation for fast, powerful boats as rugged as they are handsome, hull in one-piece, 100% hand layup fiberglass construction with molded in contrasting boot top, cove stripe and 4850 lb. External cast lead ballast.
Exceptionally firm deck, with molded in non-skid, teak toerail and trim, is also executed in 100% handlayup construction with ½” balsa core and reinforced fastening areas sandwiched between fiberglass laminations then bolted and bonded to the hull by Yankee Yachts’ positive lip-over method.
The brand new, wide-open main cabin with its 6’ headroom, folding table and aft galley with optimum storage makes her an even better offshore racer/cruiser. Large hanging locker, ample storage drawers for all passengers, enclosed head, settee berths, two 6’8” V berths forward and new quarter berth provide comfortable accommodations for five. Reliable auxiliary power is furnished by the time proven 30 h.p. Universal Atomic Four.
