The Acadian 30 paceship is a 30.0ft masthead sloop designed by G. William McVay and built in fiberglass by Paceship Yachts Ltd. between 1964 and 1971.
The Acadian 30 paceship is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
