Practical Sailor printed a very positive review of the Baba 30 in their November, 1998 issue.  I would like to make it available to you in this location, however, the editor of Practical Sailor requires an annual payment of $350 to include it here.  If you are interested in the Baba 30, I encourage you to locate a copy to learn more.

Some of the characteristics that were conveyed in the article include:

Traditional styling and heavy weather performer
6' 4" headroom and large interior
Excellent construction
Cabinetry & joinery of high-end custom yachts
4 foot bowsprit with two bow rollers
10 opening ports and two opening skylights
One of the highest resale values in the marketplace
A favorite of cruising couples

The principal liability cited in the review was the boat's light air performance.
