This 1980 Newport 30 is a 30-foot masthead sloop with a fiberglass hull, fin keel, and spade rudder. The boat sleeps four to five across a V-berth, quarter berth, convertible dinette, and settee. Power comes from a Universal 16-horsepower diesel engine with approximately 290 hours of service, and the yacht cruises at 7 knots.
Recent mechanical and electrical work includes a full electrical system overhaul completed in 2025, new lead-acid batteries and charger installed in 2025–2026, and a refurbished marine toilet. The standing rigging was reportedly replaced in 2023. Deck systems include automatic and manual bilge pumps, all six Lewmar winches serviced and greased in 2026, and a refinished deck with a rebuilt companionway hatch and revarnished woodwork as of April 2026.
The sails—mainsail and roller-furling jib—are in fair condition with no rips or tears. Interior furnishings are well-maintained, featuring quality upholstery throughout, a V-berth with organic latex mattress and wool cover, and a dehumidifier. The yacht maintains a clean, functional living space suited to cruising.
