Soverel 30 (1979) Fractional Rig
Description
The Soverel 30 (1979) is a high-performance racing sailboat designed by Mark Soverel and built by Soverel Marine (USA) from 1979 to 1987. This 29.75-foot vessel represents Mark Soverel's transition toward ultralight displacement design philosophy, creating a very high performer that's optimized for racing rather than cruising comfort. The boat features a fractional sloop rig that provides excellent sail control and performance characteristics that made it competitive in the racing circuits of the early 1980s.
