MEGA 30 (C&C) FK

About the MEGA 30 (C&C) FK

The last 27 MEGA 30's were built in the US. (Hull #s CCYM0039-80 to CCYM0065-80) The drop-keel feature of the the earlier MEGA ONE-DESIGN was abandoned in favor of a fixed keel. The boat was also sold in a number of other countries. In Sweden it is known as the RUNN RACER 912.

The C&C Mega 30 FK is a rare fractional sloop designed by C&C Design and built by C&C Yachts (USA) in 1977, with a total production run of only 27 hulls. Its fractional rig configuration distinguishes it from the more common masthead versions, offering a specific performance profile for owners seeking a lighter, potentially faster variant of the classic 30-footer.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who appreciate the handling characteristics of a fractional sloop and are comfortable maintaining a vintage vessel with a limited peer group. It is well-suited for those who prioritize sailing dynamics over heavy bluewater displacement comfort.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 6589.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.69, the boat offers moderate offshore capability suitable for coastal passages and protected waters, though its relatively light displacement and fin keel suggest it is not optimized for heavy-weather bluewater voyaging compared to heavier displacement designs.

Comparables:

It is most comparable to the standard C&C 30/30.5 models from the same era, but differs significantly due to its fractional rig and lighter displacement of 6589.0 lb. Other fractional sloop designs from the late 1970s, such as the O'Day 30 or similar C&C fractional variants, serve as functional benchmarks for its rigging and sail plan.
