The Standfast 30, designed by the legendary Dutch naval architect Frans Maas, represents a compelling chapter in European yachting history. Conceived in the mid1970s as an entry for a design competition to establish a new Dutch national 30foot onedesign class, the Standfast 30 was engineered to balance competitive performance under the International Offshore Rule (IOR) with the safety and comfort required for family cruising. Although the selection committee ultimately chose the E.G. van de Stadtdesigned Pion for the national fleet, the Standfast 30's outstanding sailing characteristics and solid construction earned it a dedicated following. Often referred to as the "little sister" to the celebrated, Fastnetwinning Standfast 40, roughly 30 hulls of the Standfast 30 were built, with construction handled by the respected Everse Jachtwerf in Yerseke, Netherlands. The result is a highly capable pocket cruiser that pairs robust Dutch craftsmanship with the spirited pedigree of a classic performance racer.
