The Newport 30-3, often referred to as the Mark III, represents the final and most refined evolution of the popular 30-foot cruiser-racer line designed by the esteemed naval architect Gary Mull. Introduced in 1984 by Capital Yachts of Harbor City, California, the 30-3 was a significant departure from its predecessors, the Mark I and Mark II. While it retained the core Gary Mull hull form known for balanced performance, the 30-3 featured a longer waterline, a redesigned cockpit, and a more cruising-oriented rig. According to Wikipedia, the mast was moved further aft and wheel steering became a standard feature, replacing the tiller of earlier models. These changes transformed the vessel from a competitive PHRF racer into a highly capable coastal cruiser that remained stiff and stable in a variety of conditions.
