The L30 One-design is an eco-friendly, easy to handle, racing yacht with minimum maintenance costs and a spacious and comfortable cabin to make her suitable also for leisure cruising: all features which will match the needs of any sailor, no matter whether families or racing crews.
In fact, the new 30-footer has been conceived by Rodion Luka, a veteran sailor who well knows all vessels’ “must have” to ensure perfect sailing. Luka, in his long-lasting career, has competed in everything from the Olympics to the Volvo Ocean Race.
“I was always wondering why golf is more popular than sailing,” said Luka. “I was looking for a way to make yachting just as affordable as other mass sport disciplines. This boat is created for a new type of yacht club, one that can operate as fitness club. The business model operates along the lines of successful Kiev Racing Yacht Club.”
The sailing yacht features state-of-the-art technology such as twin steering wheels and inboard electric sail-drive, materials such as carbon fiber and equipment, and it will satisfy a very broad range of requirements. Racing teams will appreciate the L30’s speed and dynamic handling, while self-sufficiency, comfort and accommodation will be most satisfying for families or friends.
L30’s designer Andrej Justin commented: “The boat is not designed exclusively for racing, but has to perform as a throughbreed and at the same time be also forgiving. She has to fulfill all the fleet and match racing demands on hardware specifications and deck layout and has to be the perfect tool for corporate daysailing and offer cruising comfort for a small crew”.
More space for design: when technology frees creativity

On a yacht, every centimetre occupied by technical infrastructure is space taken away from something else. Reducing its footprint means reclaiming valuable areas and giving interior designers greater freedom in shaping onboard spaces. For Nextworks, this is precisely where the role of a solution provider begins.
