1997 Custom 30 Performance Sloop

This 30-foot performance sloop is a cold-molded wooden hull designed and built by renowned yacht designer John Guzzwell. The boat was constructed for personal use and represents a significant example of classic racing sailboat design from the 1990s. With a beam of 8 feet, the yacht is built around principles of speed and handling that defined Guzzwell's approach to performance sailing craft.

The sloop is powered by a Beta diesel engine, providing auxiliary propulsion for the sailplan. The wooden construction and cold-molding technique reflect the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of Guzzwell's work, combining durability with the responsiveness demanded of a performance-oriented design.
