C&C Mega 30 Fixed Keel
Description
The C&C Mega 30 Fixed Keel (also known as Mega 30 FK) is a lightweight, high-performance racer-cruiser designed by the C&C Design Group (with contributions from Peter Barrett) and built by C&C Yachts in the United States from 1977 to 1980, with only 27 units produced (hull numbers CCYM0039-80 to CCYM0065-80). It's the fixed-keel successor to the earlier Mega 30 One Design (1976–1977, lifting keel, 115 units), trading easy trailering for greater stability and simplicity in racing. Marketed internationally (e.g., as the Runn Racer 912 in Sweden), it features a narrow beam for low wetted surface and speed, a fractional sloop rig for responsive handling, and a transom-hung rudder for precise control. With a PHRF handicap around 147, it's a club racing favorite—fast, dry, and agile in 10–20 knots—but offers basic cruising amenities for short overnights, sleeping 4–5. Its era-defining design from C&C's "golden years" prioritizes velocity over comfort, making it a collector's item for performance-oriented sailors.
