All the boats I''m aware of designed by Ron Holland tend towrds the racing end of things. So, yes, it is light (144 PHRF.) That said I own an Aloha 27 and have seen a few others, they are well made boats. There is a reference to the Aloha 30 and many of its contemporaries at the web site Used sailboats in central canada. good luck
