About the Rogers 30

Built in limited numbers with only seven hulls launched between 1993 and beyond, this Rogers Yachts Design creation represents a focused approach to performance-oriented sailing. The Rogers 30 combines a sleek fin keel with bulb configuration and fractional sloop rig to deliver impressive sailing characteristics for its size class. With a displacement of 5,732 pounds and generous sail area of 710 square feet, this fiberglass construction yacht achieves a sail area to displacement ratio that clearly positions it in performance territory rather than heavy cruising. The deep 6.40-foot draft and modern fin keel design with bulb provide excellent upwind ability and stability, making this boat well-suited for competitive sailing and spirited coastal cruising. The relatively low comfort ratio of 11.6 reflects the boat's performance-first philosophy, prioritizing speed and handling over interior volume. However, the capsize screening formula of 2.46 indicates reasonable stability characteristics for offshore ventures when conditions permit. The fractional rig setup offers versatility in sail handling and the ability to depower effectively in stronger winds. Given its limited production run and performance-oriented design, the Rogers 30 appeals to sailors seeking a distinctive, fast coastal cruiser or club racer with excellent sailing qualities and responsive handling characteristics.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 35.57
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
 82.97
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 11.6
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 2.46
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 7.50 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 1,231.46 pounds/inch
