The Triton 30 is a Canadian an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Doug Peterson as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1985.[1][2]

The design is a unauthorized development of Peterson's International Offshore Rule Half Ton class Chaser 29 racer, using the same hull design. The molds had been owned by US Yachts, a division of Bayliner to make the US Yachts US 29 and were sold to Pearson Yachts.[1][2]

Production

The design was built by Pearson Yachts in the United States, starting in 1985, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4]

Design

The Triton 30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,800 lb (3,084 kg) and carries 2,850 lb (1,293 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 5.58 ft (1.70 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 6.63 kn (12.28 km/h).[2]
