Designed as a collaboration between Britton Chance Jr. and Allied Boat Company, this 30-foot sailboat represents an interesting chapter in American production sailing from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The partnership brought together Chance's racing-oriented design philosophy with Allied's established manufacturing capabilities, creating a boat that aimed to bridge performance and practicality. The hull design reflects Chance's background in competitive sailing, featuring clean lines and proportions that suggest decent sailing performance while maintaining the interior volume needed for weekend cruising or coastal adventures. Allied's construction approach emphasized solid fiberglass layup techniques typical of the era, prioritizing durability over weight savings. This model appears well-suited for coastal cruising, club racing, and day sailing, offering enough accommodation for short-term cruising while retaining the sailing characteristics that make longer passages enjoyable. The Chance 30 30 Allied would appeal to sailors seeking a boat with racing DNA that doesn't sacrifice comfort entirely. While not as widely known as some contemporary designs, boats from this collaboration generally earned respect for their seaworthiness and balanced sailing characteristics, making them worthy candidates for sailors prioritizing performance-oriented coastal cruising.
