What's a "B30"?

While out sailing this past weekend I saw two 30' boats with a "B30" insignia on the aft quarters. I should probably know, but what is a "B30"? Who is it made by?

Could have seen a Brenta B30, but since european built, they're not very popular in the US. So, the odds of seeing two on one lake are low.

I refer to mine as a B29, but thats because the Strata-Fortress allusion amuses me. Bristol is the most likely candidate, but I've never seen it written on the boats.

After looking at some online photos of Bristol 30's and Brentas, I can definately say it was not either of those.

Sailhog - They did somewhat resemble "Bunters and Batalinas".

There were two port holes forward on each side and two longer, horizontal windows aft of the port holes on each side. I'd say the boats were from the 1980's.

They actually looked a fair bit like a Sabre 30.

Can you narrow it down somewhat . . . mono hull or multi, marconi sloop, ketch, yawl, schooner, barque, brig, clipper, catboat, junk, log canoe?
