The New York 30 (NY-30) is a monohull sailboat designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff in 1904 as a class for the New York Yacht Club.[1] It was the first one-design class designed for the Universal Rule of yacht measurement: "It is the first model I have worked on to be under the 1/4 beam length [Universal Rule] measurements, and I am well pleased with it, and also it has been more pleasure to work on it, as I have not had the restraint of getting the biggest boat possible for the W.L. length."[2]
