About the LANDING SCHOOL 30

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Landing School 30 is a rare, custom-built fractional sloop designed by Steve Dalzell and constructed by The Landing School in the USA. With only 2 hulls built in 2009, this vessel represents a highly exclusive, one-off production run rather than a mass-market model.

Best for:
This boat suits experienced sailors seeking a lightweight, performance-oriented coastal cruiser, given its low displacement of 4073.0 lb and high sail area-to-displacement ratio of 31.77.
Bluewater capability:
With a capsize ratio of 1.88 and a comfort ratio of 16.22, the boat is optimized for coastal performance rather than heavy offshore passage-making, reflecting its light displacement and fin keel design.
Comparables:
Due to its extreme rarity and custom nature, there are no direct mass-production comparables; however, its dimensions and fractional rig suggest a role similar to high-performance 30-foot racers like the J/30 or Beneteau First 30, though with significantly lower displacement.
