Designed by the prolific New Zealand yacht designer Murray Ross in the late 1970s, the Ross 830 emerged as a cornerstone of the "New Zealand trailer yacht" revolution. It represents a bridge between the traditional cruising trailer sailer and the highperformance sports boats that would eventually dominate the Australasian racing scene. Characterized by its light displacement, generous beam, and a powerful fractional rig, the 830 was engineered to provide thrilling performance on the racecourse while maintaining enough volume for coastal weekend cruising. While many performance boats of this era sacrificed structural integrity for speed, the Ross 830 earned a reputation for being a robust platform capable of handling the challenging conditions of the Hauraki Gulf and beyond.
