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]
