Broker's Comments

The MG 30 HS comes from the drawing board of the well known and respected Rob Humphreys. Built with performance, speed and strength in mind, these boats combine exacting lines, with a swept back rig and internal hull strengthening system that provides performance, space and confidence. The cockpit provides acres of room for the crew to work and relax after a day sailing, with wide side decks that provide a feeling of safety moving forward. Internally, there is a forward cabin, with potential for two to sleep, along with a centrally located galley and navigation station, then saloon seating and further back two quarter berths.

This version has a proud history, with a long list of race wins, including the Round the Island Race and winner of Class in Clyde Week. The owner reports a boat that points incredibly high on the wind and sails fast comfortably downwind. The current owner has predominantly used the boat for racing, having invested in an impressive sail wardrobe and organising the running rigging so key sail changes and boat movements can be orchestrated swiftly and easily from the safety of the companionway, through a single system. The boat was also treated to a re-epoxied underwater hull in 2019 and then re-epoxied and painted topsides in 2020.

For anybody looking for a performance sailing yacht this boat and its inventory is well worth considering. It has a proven track record as a club racer and looks prepared to continue in that role. However, with some work completed below, this boat also has the size and space to provide potential to be a more permanent fast cruiser. If you would like to know more or to organise a personal viewing, please contact our office and we would be delighted to help.
