Moore 30

This is a project boat, and will require some work to be in racing condition. It is Hull #3 of 5 Moore 30s ever built. They have a great history and could be turned into an extremely fast beer can racer. One of the first ULDBs weighing 2500lbs with hiking wings, an idea that would later turn into the ultimate and ultra 30s. The original beam was 14’ at some point which was cutdown to 11” but there is still more deck space than any other 30 footer. Most of the hull and deck work is cosmetic, the mast needs attention, and deck hardware could be made to work but modernizing would make the boat much more competitive. It comes with a very limited sail inventory. PHRFs around 50.

Mast&Rigging: The boat comes with 2 masts. Neither is the original as it was broken years ago. The mast seen in the photos is a sketchy one the previous owner found. It’s questionable so I acquired a Kiwi 35 rig which is in much better condition as well as almost identical to the original. That being said you will need to make/adapt the step and standing rigging to fit, as well as outfit it with new running rigging, and some hardware.

Deck organizers, clutches, and Jib cars are usable but could benefit from some attention. All of the Harken winches are in good shape.

Hull and Deck Condition: Ron Moore is known for his excellent build quality and it shows as there are no signs of delam in the foam core construction of the hull or deck. The wings need attention where there were cut down (glass work). Some core has been crushed in areas where headwear was improperly mounted. There are old mounting holes throughout. Plan to fill holes and repaint the at the very least. She has been dry under shrink wrapped for the past two years.

Keel: Fixed fin with a small bulb. Needs fairing where lead was added to the bulb. There is a center lift eye but I haven’t used it.

Sail inventory: One aramid main that could be a practice sail, and a few other junk sails.

Trailer: Custom LoadRite in decent condition. Before going long distances you might want to replace the tires and pack the bearings. Surge brake condition is unknown. It made a 400 mile trip 3 years ago.
