Was the CD30 B model ever made as a sloop? I've seen cutters.

At least one was, and it was recently for sale at Palmer Johnson and billed as the last one built (by Robinhood on the last mold of hull and deck). I have also seen at least one rigged as a sloop, and Capt. Dave of Hanalei sailed it quite a bit.

Re: CD30B rigged as a Sloop....
Jon,
Joe is right, my brothers' CD-30B "Premption" was rigged as a sloop. Well, the mast wasn't moved, but he did remove the stays'l rigging and put on a large (I think it was a 160) genoa. It was OK, but I much prefer the cutter rig on the CD-30C that I have now. He put the 160 on for light airs that were common in late summer in the Western Long Island Sound down around Southport, CT. We don't have that problem too often off of Mystic, Ct.
