The G&S 30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass and wood. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a sharply reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type/transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.

The boat has a draft of 5.30 ft (1.62 m) with the standard keel. [1] [3]

The boat may be fitted with an inboard engine or a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [1] [3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.43 kn (11.91 km/h) and PHRF racing average handicap of 144. [3] [5] [6]
