About the MG-HS30
The MG-HS30 is a 29.67 ft fractional sloop designed by Rob Humphreys and built by Marine Glass Yachts (UK) in 1982. While the exact hull count is unknown, owner reports highlight significant structural maintenance needs, particularly regarding deck cores and mast steps.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a classic fractional sloop layout and are prepared for intensive DIY maintenance. It is less ideal for those seeking a turnkey vessel due to the high frequency of reported structural repairs.
- Bluewater capability:
- Offshore suitability is compromised by critical reports of deck core moisture and compression post rot, which pose serious safety risks in heavy weather despite the boat's fin keel design.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other early-1980s British fractional sloops like the Hallberg-Rassy 35 or O'Day 30, sharing similar displacement characteristics and coastal cruising roles. These boats offer similar performance profiles but often have different construction methods regarding deck cores.
