Contour 30
Description
The Contour 30 (often referred to as Contour 30 MkII in later versions) is a popular folding trimaran sailboat designed by Cole Beadon and built by Contour Yachts in Canada, starting in 1992. It's known for delivering excellent performance in a compact, trailerable package—capable of double-digit speeds (often 12–18+ knots), minimal heeling, and surprising cruising comfort for its size. The "swing-wing" or retractable amas fold inward to reduce beam dramatically, making it easy to trailer, launch from a ramp, or dock in standard slips without wide-beam hassles.
