Rick, The C&C 30 was my first Lines Drawing, but it was Big George telling me what to do. I don't remember any mods to the rudder, but it indeed was a while ago. The design was very much a development of the 27. Once we started being able to actual 'compare' the stability of different designs- it turns out the 30 is the most stable boat we ever did . . . . . Listening to owners over the years, the boat is stable and tough (indestructible) and will last forever . . . . . Cheers, Rob.

Re: Stus-List Saturday morning reading - Wikipedia Article - Robert W. Ball
I see over and over that the 30-1 started life in 1973. We discussed a few years ago that maybe Anchovy was hull #1 due to the hull placard number(30 1 71N) on the inside of her transom. Also, i seem to remember someone mentioning the rudder on #1 being modified ahead of the stock to improve balance. I’m beginning to doubt Anchovy’s pedigree. I need a hug.

Re: Stus-List Saturday morning reading - Wikipedia Article - Robert W. Ball
Hi Dave, I'm no expert but the Viking 33 is definitely a C&C design but it first went into production at Ontario Yachts in 1971 while Rob Ball was still cutting his teeth as an up and coming designer in C&C's office. Rob didn't become Chief of Design at C&C until 1973 so we don't attribute that one to Rob. The Viking 33 is listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%26C_Yachts#C&C_designed_sailboats_(for_other_manufacturers) ... with an article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_33 Same with the Newport 27 series of boats. Certainly the 27 Mk.1 is a C&C design but it went out the door in 1970 so we can't give that one to Rob, and it has that early swept keel and 'scimitar' rudder of the earlier C&C's. Apparently it is essentially a C&C 27 Mk.1 hull with a different deck and interior. The others, the 27S (1974), the 27 Mk.3 (1975), and the 27s Mk.2 (1982) might have been Rob's. I'll let him comment on those as I don't really know that the difference is between them all. they seem to have a different hull (at least keel and rudder) that any of the C&C's in the 27' range.

Re: Stus-List Saturday morning reading - Wikipedia Article - Robert W. Ball
Hello Richard, "I believe that Wikipedia is in error by not attributing the 37 as a Rob Ball design" I agree, at that point in C&C's history when this yacht was designed and introduced Robert W. Ball was Chief of Design, George Culbertson was company president and no longer in the design office. George was still involved and Rob certainly consulted his opinions, But George was not at the drawing board. ...so I just corrected those entries in Wikipedia. Now I'll have to get SailboatData to fix that error too. Ken H.
