About the ANNIE 30
Available with a cutter rig.
Designed by Chuck Paine and built by Morris Yachts (USA) in 1980, the Annie 30 is a rare production with only 16 hulls built. This full-keel, masthead sloop offers a comfortable cruising experience with a displacement of 11027.0 lb and a beam of 9.42 ft.
- Best for:
- The Annie 30 is best suited for coastal cruisers and couples seeking a stable, easy-to-handle boat with generous interior volume, as indicated by the high frequency of dodger and cockpit canvas upgrades.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.7 and a D/L ratio of 334.74, the Annie 30 possesses the heavy displacement and stable hull form necessary for protected offshore passages, though its age requires careful inspection.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 30 and O'Day 302, which share similar full-keel designs, beam widths, and production eras, offering similar coastal cruising characteristics.
