Sovereign 30

The Sovereign 30 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by the Sovereign Design Group as a cruiser and first built in 1998.

The Sovereign 30 is a development of the Sovereign 28.

Production
The design was built by Sovereign America in the United States, starting in 1998, with only one prototype built, before the company went out of business. The prototype was used as a factory demonstrator and was eventually sold to a private owner.

Design
The Sovereign 30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It is a cutter rigged sloop with a center cockpit, a raked stem, a plumb transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6800 lb and carries 2400 lb of ballast.

The boat has a draft of 3.33 ft with the standard keel and is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 18 hp for docking and maneuvering.

The design has a bow and a stern cabin. The galley is equipped with a two-burner alcohol-fired stove and an ice box. The head is fully enclosed and includes a shower. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 20 u.s.gal.

The boat can be transported on a three-axle trailer with surge brakes.

The design has a hull speed of 6.43 kn.
