Designed and built in Queensland, Australia, by John Gross of Fastback Catamarans, the Fastback 30 is a distinctive coastal cruising multihull known for its pioneering "pod" design and aerodynamic profile. Launched in the 1980s, the model was born from a philosophy of "adding lightness," resulting in a vessel that prioritizes sailing efficiency and ease of handling over the sheer interior volume seen in modern production cats. Approximately 50 units of the 30 and its slightly extended sibling, the 32, were produced at the Fastback factory in Thornlands Arctracer.
