The Aquafibre S&S 30 is a distinguished product of a pivotal collaboration between the legendary design firm Sparkman & Stephens and the technical moulding expertise of Aquafibre Ltd. Commissioned primarily for Northshore Yachts in the early 1970s, the S&S 30 (Design #2017) represents the era when high-quality GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) construction began to dominate the cruiser-racer market. While Northshore is often credited with the vessel’s finishing and marketing, the structural integrity of the hull and deck originated in the Aquafibre workshops, where Martin Broom’s commitment to robust fiberglass mouldings set the standard for the British marine industry. As the first yacht produced by Northshore Yachts, the S&S 30 was an immediate success, even earning the "Boat of the Show" accolade at the 1971 Earls Court Boat Show.
