The Lancer 30-3, often referred to as the Lancer 30 Mark III, represents a departure from the "powersailer" reputation typically associated with Lancer Yacht Corporation. While the company gained fame for the hybrid motorsailers designed by Herb David, the Lancer 30-3 was a product of the legendary Canadian firm C&C Design. Introduced in 1979 as a successor to the Mark II—which was famously built from the original C&C 30 molds—the Mark III was refined for the American production market. It stands as a robust, fiberglass monohull cruiser that balances the performance pedigree of C&C with the voluminous interior demands of 1980s coastal cruisers. Unlike its motorsailer siblings, the 30-3 is a dedicated sailing vessel with a traditional fin keel and a masthead sloop rig, designed for sailors who prioritize predictable handling and sea-kindliness over high-speed motoring.
