The Lancer 30 Mark IV also called the Lancer 30-4, is an American sailboat that was designed by C&C Design as a cruiser and first built in 1978.[1][2][3]

The Lancer 30 Mark IV is a development of the C&C 30, using the molds from that design.[1][3]

Production

The design was built by Lancer Yachts in the United States from 1978 until 1985, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]

Design

The Lancer 30 Mark IV is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised counter reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 8,200 lb (3,719 kg) and carries 3,000 lb (1,361 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 5.18 ft (1.58 m) with the standard keel and 4.18 ft (1.27 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][3]

The boat is fitted with an inboard engine for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is an open L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located at the companionway on the starboard side.[1][3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.57 kn (12.17 km/h).[3]
