The Presto 30™ is a new boat with a long history. Inspired by Commodore Ralph Munroe's round-bilged sharpies but put to the test by modern design development and marine engineering, the Presto 30 is a fast, capable boat for shoal or deep-water sailing.
The Presto 30 is a 30' trailerable performance cruiser. The twin un-stayed carbon fiber masts and wishbone booms make for simple sailing while the shoal draft allows you to explore secluded harbors and waterways off-limits to keel boats.
The Presto is suited for all conditions. As a pleased sailor said:
“Although the wind never exceeded 5 knots in the two hours we were out, it was instructive to me that the 30 moved as well as she did even with so little breeze. Anybody can design a boat that will perform well when it blows, and the Presto does fine in those conditions; but when there is little or no wind and you have a vessel that will respond to the slightest whisper of a breeze, and begins to move forward, that is indeed something special.”
