About the LANCER 30-2
Origins with the original C&C 30. C&C often sold off the molds for retired models.
The Lancer 30-2 is a C & C designed masthead sloop built by Lancer Yacht Corp. (USA) between 1977 and 1982. With a displacement of 7000.0 lb and a beam of 9.83 ft, it represents a substantial, heavy-displacement cruiser from the late 1970s era.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize stability and interior volume over high-performance racing. Its moderate sail area to displacement ratio (15.79) suggests it is comfortable for couples or small families seeking a stable, easy-to-handle package.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.06 and a comfort ratio of 20.95, the Lancer 30-2 exhibits the heavy, stable hull form typical of offshore-capable cruisers, though its specific bluewater history is not detailed in the available data.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the C & C 30 and the O'Day 30, as they share similar dimensions, heavy displacement characteristics, and a focus on comfortable cruising rather than speed. The Lancer 30-2's fin keel and masthead rig align it with other production cruisers of the late 1970s that emphasized durability and ease of use.
