Reward 30 (North Coast 30, Windward 30)
Description
The Reward 30 represents a fascinating case study in boat naming and market dynamics - a well-engineered Richard Carlson design that lived three different commercial lives but never achieved widespread success. With only 15 boats built, this heavy displacement cruiser offers excellent stability, proven seaworthiness, and unique ownership for sailors who appreciate rare, well-designed yachts. While the limited fuel and water capacity restrict extended cruising, the boat's conservative design philosophy and robust construction make it an excellent choice for coastal sailing adventures.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
