Custom 30 Performance Sloop

Renowned for beauty and performance, this cold-molded racing sailboat was designed and built for personal use by world-class designer John Guzzwell, making her a living piece of yachting history!

Our Custom 30 Sloop doesn’t just turn heads, it’s got a renowned resume to back up its good looks. With a legacy of participating in prestigious races such as the Singlehanded Trans-Pacific Yacht Race, Swift-sure Race and the VanIsle 360, this vessel has been proven on the water. It has also been featured in Wooden Boat magazine, and it was refit and equipped to race to Hawaii without a hitch.

The Guzzwell’s Open 30 Sloop is powered by a heart of strength and reliability, a 16 HP 2020 Beta 2-Cylinder diesel inboard engine with a respectably low 120 hours, translating to many more journeys ahead. Even when your sails are down, you’re still making headway with minimal noise and maximum power.

Boasting a blue-water-ready feature set, the Custom 30 Sloop guarantees an unmatched on-board experience. It’s built with Cold-Molded construction for durability and strength. As for navigation and comfort, our vessel owns a new solar panel, a convenient battery charger, GPS, a depth sounder, and a user-friendly chart plotter.

For those who are keen on racing performance, all running rigging has been replaced in 2021, coupled with the addition of 3 brand-new Ullman sails: Mast Head, Mast Head Asym, and Fractional Asym. Note, that the mast, boom and bow sprit are all fortified with carbon fiber splines. Plus, it flaunts a full modular boat cover, a feature not to be underestimated, which protects your beloved boat and its cabin top from the harsh elements.

Adventures begin in Friday Harbor, WA, Cruising these waters will take you from serene harbors to open seas, running the gamut of boating experiences.
