The Presto 30 is a sophisticated interpretation of the classic American sharpie, blending 19thcentury shallowdraft utility with 21stcentury composite technology and naval architecture. Designed by the late Rodger Martin and originally produced by the Union River Boat Co. in Bucksport, Maine, the vessel was envisioned as a "performance pocket cruiser" capable of navigating thin waters where deeperkeeled yachts cannot venture. With its signature catketch rig and unstayed carbon fiber masts, the Presto 30 emphasizes simplicity, speed, and ease of handling, earning it the Sail Magazine Best Boats Award upon its debut for its innovative approach to coastal exploration.
