1986 Aloha

30

$26,000 CAD

Tantallon , NS , CA

Nonfiction is an excellent example of the Aloha 30, combining performance and comfort in a well-maintained package. This vessel has been meticulously cared for, features upgraded electronics, and boasts a deep sail inventory—perfect for sailors who value versatility and reliability.

Designed by Ron Holland, renowned for creating fast, responsive yachts, the Aloha 30 marked a departure from Aloha’s traditional cruising focus. This model offers a fractional rig, making it easier to control the large mainsail, and a deep elliptical fin keel, a hallmark of high-performance designs from the late 1980s and early 1990s. The result is a boat that delivers spirited sailing without sacrificing comfort below decks.

Whether you’re looking for a capable club racer or a quick coastal cruiser, Nonfiction is ready to impress.
