Got to agree with that Rob. Have a 29 mk1 now and love it but there are times I
miss the 30. Wound say the 25mk1 was also very stable. But a bit wetter
sometimes lol

Rick,
The 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
David, thanks, I wish I was there for the 2012 and/or 2013 NE. Glad you will be
recording Denis. Maybe a podcast is a good forum? The 2018 mid Atlantic
rendezvous was worth the drive from Ontario. It won’t be our last. C are so
spread out recording will help a lot. I also look forward to Rob

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
Hi Dave,
I'm no expert but the Viking 33 is definitely a 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's office. Rob didn't
become Chief of Design at C until 1973 so we don't attribute that one to
Very nice read with a coffee!
Rob Ball you’re a living legend!

Interesting stuff. Great to learn that the 33 was Rob’s first complete design
for C It’s a great design and is fast on the race course.
Also, in the list attributed to the C team I saw no mention of the Viking 33
nor the Newport 27 which I believe were C designs. Am I right?

Someone was talking about a speaker last week. Rob Ball would be my first
choice for something like that. I hope at some point Rob could make a
rendezvous and I could shake his hand and buy him a beverage! We love love love
our 37+. His contribution to sailing should be applauded.

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'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.
Ken, that's awesome stuff; thank you for the compilation; this should be
posted on the Photo Album; I know there are parts of it and some of the cited
articles are already there, but this should be also;
as a personal note; I believe that Wikipedia is in error by not attributing the

Hello List,
As there are now over 100 article in Wikipedia that mention Rob Ball
(mostly as yacht designer at C Yachts) I felt it was time an entry was
created to explain who he is.
So now there is a short article about Robert W. Ball:
