The Newport 302, commonly referred to as the Newport 30 Mark II or Phase II, represents a definitive era in American production boatbuilding where performanceoriented naval architecture began to merge seamlessly with the demands of the coastal cruising family. While the original Newport 30 was a C&C design, the Mark II was a complete departure, penned by the legendary naval architect Gary Mull. This iteration was produced during the peak years of Newport Boats in California before the company’s eventual transition through the Lockley and Gloucester eras. The 302 is distinguished from its predecessor by a more modern underbody and a more efficient sail plan, making it a staple of the PHRF racing circuits and a beloved weekend cruiser for those who prioritize a "sailor’s boat" over a floating apartment.
