The purpose of Mumm 30 was to create a modern sports keel yacht that would be fast and interesting for racers, while remaining relatively simple and not very expensive. Bruce Farr‘s Design Bureau started to build the Mumm 30 from scratch, with constant brainstorming about: What would make the boat «faster and more excited on the go?»
A yacht has a very high moment of stability, which gives her the opportunity to carry full sails longer and reduces the need for heavy weight to open.

The Mumm 30 is a very fast and well controlled boat on both sharp and full courses. It is comparatively easy for beginners (due in no small part to the lack of backstags), but can also be enjoyed by experienced yachtsmen.
