Frers 30
Description
The Frers 30 is a well-regarded cruiser-racer sailboat designed by the renowned Argentine naval architect German Frers. Built by Carroll Marine (USA) starting in 1987, it's a fiberglass monohull emphasizing performance with good handling and some cruising comforts—striking a nice balance between racing agility and weekend/overnight capability. Production was limited (not a mass-market boat), so examples are relatively rare today.
