Ken:
Thank you for the correction....I said I was no C&C authority.....did
some homework after my incorrect post.....Rob Ball became C&C's Chief
Designer in 1973 according to the Photo Album site.

*Rob Ball:* I started working part time in 1966 and I started full
time in 1969. We had four people then, one of the four being a summer
student.

I shouldn't but in here because I am no authority on the C&C
history but I doubt the 'initials in the Drawn block' for your C&C
30 MK I are those of Rob Ball as the 'designer'......I believe
George Cuthbertson designed 30 MK I. I think Rob Ball joined the
C&C company in the early 1980's, maybe 1983.....Rob can correct me
if I am wrong.

Hi Rob,
Since we’re discussing the 30 MK I on the mail list today, I
thought I’d share a blast from the past - a drawing of the sail
plan for the 24’9” LWL Auxiliary Sloop (i.e. the 30 MK I), dated
Dec. 22, 1970. See
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LNnF3ohhpfxYPndc528aTh6uvJHhPOel.
Are those your initials in the Drawn By block?
This drawing came in the records with my boat, 30 MK I hull #7
(HIN 30007972). A4, tiller steering, boom-end sheeting to
traveler on transom - love the cockpit room. Her first owner was
Bob Andrews of Traverse City, MI, who raced her in the Mac (the
Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac). She spent her first 40
years in Traverse City under four different owners, then moved to
Colorado in 2012. I am her sixth owner and have raced her weekly
for three years at my local club. At age 46 she’s still
competitive and sharp-looking and a lot of fun.
Thank you for the 30 MK I. I love that boat. I’ve had her up to
7.6 knots on GPS, and I’ve had her out in gale-force winds
multiple times. She’s stiff and stable as hell, and I love
that. If you’re interested, there are photos of my boat
including various projects at
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTaUlpUkZJWGt5RVk.
Thanks Again,
