Newport 30 Phase II
Description
The Newport 30 Phase II (also known as Newport 30-2 or Newport 30 Mark II / Phase II) is an updated American fiberglass cruiser-racer built by Capital Yachts Inc. in Harbor City, California, designed by Gary Mull. Introduced in 1974 as a performance-oriented evolution of the original Newport 30 (1968), it was modified to better compete under the International Offshore Rule (IOR) 3/4-ton class, featuring a taller mast and shorter boom for improved rating and handling. Production continued into the late 1970s/early 1980s (with a shoal draft variant also offered), with hundreds of hulls built across the series—emphasizing a masthead sloop rig, fin keel with spade rudder for balanced speed and tracking, solid GRP construction, spacious interior (stand-up headroom ~6 ft, 4–6 berths including V-forward, settees, quarter berth, galley, heads), and inboard auxiliary (often Universal Atomic 4 gas ~13 hp). It's regarded as a forgiving, stable coastal cruiser-racer with good light-to-moderate air performance (SA/D ~16.6), competitive club racing (PHRF ~183 average), and strong value—roomy for its era, easy to sail, and well-suited for family/weekend trips or light offshore use.
