The Wavelength 30 is an American sailboat that was designed by Paul Lindenberg as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1980. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

The Wavelength 30 is a development of the very similar Lindenberg 30, the prototype for which was a boat named Wavelength. ^{[1] [2] [5] [6]}

Production

The design was built by W. D. Schock Corp in the United States from 1980 until 1981, with ten boats built, but it is now out of production. ^{[1] [2] [7] [8] [9] [10]}

Design

The Wavelength 30 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a nearly plumb stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 7,000 lb (3,175 kg) and carries 3,100 lb (1,406 kg) of ballast. ^{[1] [2]}

The boat has a draft of 5.25 ft (1.60 m) and is fitted with a German BMW diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. ^{[1] [2]}

The design has a hull speed of 6.93 kn (12.83 km/h). ^[2]
