Presto 30

Our program is built around a unique expedition sail vessel, a Presto 30 named Thorfinn. The Presto 30 is a high-performance boat designed and built for adventure and safety. From its Kevlar bottom to its carbon fiber masts, a Presto 30 is outfitted with safety equipment and an unsinkable design. The vessel's hull is 30 feet long and can access any body of water with a depth of more than a foot. It has the fortitude to explore almost any coastline in ways that few other sailboats can.

The Presto is also a trailerable, light displacement boat with excellent sail handling characteristics (We have hit 14.8 knots!) and it appeals to an adventurous sailor of any ability. Thorfinn's accommodations are comfortable, with an enclosed cabin, bunks, head (toilet compartment), stove and engine. Its easily managed size and shallow draft allow Thorfinn to be launched from almost any standard boat ramp.
