Aloha 30
Description
The Aloha 30 is a Canadian performance-oriented cruiser-racer sailboat designed by renowned Irish naval architect Ron Holland. Introduced in 1986, it represents a shift in the Canadian sailboat industry toward lighter, more agile designs influenced by French aesthetics, featuring an aft cabin for enhanced cruising comfort. Built by Ouyang Boat Works (under the Aloha Yachts brand) in Whitby, Ontario, production ran until 1989, with approximately 100–150 units constructed before the model was discontinued. This fractional sloop (though often rigged as a masthead) with a fin keel and spade rudder emphasizes speed and responsiveness for coastal racing and day sailing, while offering sufficient interior space for weekend overnights.
