Loco's boat is pretty fast for it's day, but like the J30 and other go-fast
designs of it's day it has aged badly. More moderate designs, such as my C&C
32, Cals, Pearson's and even Catalina have stood the test of time far better.
They were far more dual purpose than the failed Express 30. So in that respect,
the Express 30 is a pig. Not a very good cruiser and a badly outdated racer.

You should get out more. Your opinions are really the thoughts of an idiot
that knows nothing about boats. I'm sorry I have to keep telling you that.
My "outdated" Express 30 finished first in PHRF 'B' in the Chesapeake Bay
Lighthouse Classic a few weeks ago ahead of a C&C35 (rates faster than us) who
finished 2nd in a fleet of 15 PHRF 'B' boats in another race the day before.
They were no slouches. And oh, we also FINISHED before 2 'A' boats that
started 5 min. before us. One was your modern C&C 99 and the other was a Shock
35. I'll bet the C&C owner was glad he spent that $130K. We did all that with
a full cruising interior and an oven. Yea, those Express 30s are "outdated
pigs"
