Is the ADMIRALTY 30 OD destined to be a one-design boat?
Absolutely. It is the perfect set-up for fast, fun racing around the buoys, and you don’t have to worry about getting four or five or six crew to the regattas! Until we have a sufficient number of ADMIRALTY 30 OD’s in the US, the boat will be a great PHRF racer for all the same reasons. The class rules will be finalized soon; all of the boats are being built to the rules, so sail measurements are all that have to be resolved. We don’t see this as an issue for the foreseeable future since it will be awhile before there are a sufficient number of boats to get a class together. Sailing just got more exciting and affordable!
