Yamaha 30-1

Description

The Yamaha 30 (also known as Yamaha 30-1 or 30-2, sometimes called Yamaha Y-30) is a Japanese-built fiberglass cruiser-racer from the late 1970s to mid-1980s. Built by Yamaha Marine (part of the Yamaha Motor Company, which briefly entered sailboat production before focusing on powerboats and outboards), it was an affordable, high-quality import aimed at the North American market, particularly popular on the West Coast (e.g., British Columbia and Pacific Northwest).
