The Javelin 30 represents a significant chapter in the golden era of British fiberglass yacht construction, merging the design prowess of Holman & Pye with the industrial capability of Marine Construction Ltd. (Marcon). Launched in the early 1970s, the Javelin 30 was marketed primarily by J.G. Meakes and was often associated with the Parker name through distribution channels. It was conceived as a high-performance cruiser-racer that could hold its own in offshore racing under the IOR (International Offshore Rule) while providing the volume and stability required for family cruising. The boat's construction reflects the "overbuilt" philosophy of the time, featuring a heavy layup of hand-consolidated GRP that has allowed many examples to survive the rigors of half a century at sea.
