Newport 30
 |
The Newport 30, or N30, was designed by marine engineer Gary Mull. Originally manufactured by Lindsey Plastics in Santa Ana, California from 1967 to about 1971. Later models were manufactured by Capital Yachts in Harbor City, California as the Newport 30 Mark II or Phase II and later as the Mark III. It is part of a family of Newport Sailboats. A remarkable feature of the Newport 30 is its construction. It pioneered the style of build that would later revolutionize the industry leading to boats like the Catalina 27, 30 and others that would keep ownership costs down and provide a relatively inexpensive and trouble free ownership experience when compared to similar vessels made of wood.
