30' 1996 Wyliecat 30

1996 Wylie Cat 30 “Silkye”

Fast. Simple. Surprisingly Roomy.

The Wylie Cat 30 is a high-performance cat-rigged rocket that’s famously easy to sail single-handed. With a massive 55% ballast-to-displacement ratio (3,050 lb lead bulb keel on a 5,500 lb boat), it’s stiff, powerful, and sails like a much larger yacht.

Its unstayed carbon mast and wishbone boom make tacking and sail handling effortless — perfect for solo sailing or short-handed cruising. Despite its performance focus, the interior is bright and open with a large V-berth forward, a spacious aft double, and two settee berths.

Fast, fun, and forgiving — the Wylie Cat 30 is the ultimate “grown-up Laser” for sailors who want speed without complexity.

​Electric Torqueedo engine, 3 year old lithium batteries.
