Builder drawingDesigned by French naval architect Maurice Edel and built in Meyzieu, France, the Edel 730 was introduced in 1981 as a highly engineered evolution of the builder’s popular pocket cruisers. Conceived as the direct successor to the widely successful Edel 4, the Edel 730 was meant to push the absolute limits of what could be achieved in a trailerable, familyoriented coastal cruising sailboat. However, its market introduction was severely hampered by a dispute between the shipyard and the mainstream French sailing press over advertising, which led to a quiet and undeservedly obscure production run of only 50 units before manufacturing ceased in 1983. Despite its scarcity, the Edel 730 is highly regarded by a dedicated community of owners who appreciate its unique blend of performance, transportability, and cavernous interior volume.
