The previous searches have helped to flesh out the introduction and history. I now know the designers, the builder, and the production years, as well as the context of Bayliner's sailboat division and their practice of re-using tooling. The note about the hull being based on an earlier Peterson 1/2 ton design is also valuable. I've also confirmed the shoal draft option.
However, I am still lacking substantial, specific information for:
- Sailing Performance and Handling: While I have the ratios, anecdotal descriptions of how the US 30 specifically handles in different conditions are scarce. The general search results for "sailboat handling characteristics" are too generic or refer to other 30-foot boats.
- Accommodations and Layout: I only have the max headroom. Detailed descriptions of the interior arrangement (V-berth, salon, galley, head, etc.) are still missing. The "Corinthian" results are for cruise ships or larger motor yachts, not this sailboat.
- Owner's Perspectives: Owner reviews, common problems, strengths, and weaknesses specifically for the US 30 or Corinthian 30 are still elusive. Many forum results are for the Catalina 30, which I need to avoid.
I need to perform more targeted searches focusing on actual sailing reviews, interior walkthroughs, or owner discussions specifically for the "US 30" or "Corinthian 30" sailboat model.
