Here is a sister ship in the PNW

Leanne

Compared to Australian and New Zealand prices (from memory) that is
one cheap little boat. I have met a couple of boats of about that
size
that have crossed oceans. Nice yacht.

Peter,

I love my little English ship as she handles like a much larger boat.
I heard about one or two that did a circumnavigation back in the
70's. Of course I would like the larger sister, the F-34 and the best
sailing of the Fishers, as that is the largest that will clear the
fixed bridge on the way up the creek to my house.

That boat "Puffin" is pretty as they come. Well, besides my Rawson, of
course (w). How can anyone look at that proud bow and not love her?
She's saying in no uncertain terms, "Hey! Let's go sailing!"


I agree. A Rawson is twice the boat and easily three times as seaworthy.
Do you have a Rawson 30? I think that is one of the more unknown and
most underrated boats of all times. Seems to have sorta slipped through
the cracks but it hasn't gone unnoticed by this sailor.
