The Impala 30 is a 29.66ft masthead sloop designed by E. Bjørn Jensen and built in fiberglass between 1976 and 1983.
The Impala 30 is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
