Just for giggles and grins I did a search at www.yachtworld.com for
motorsailers. It appears that there are several dozen to choose from
in the PNW area. Obviously they range in material, cost, condition
and size, but it appears that there is something there that will fit
the bill for you. So there is no excuse - if you are serious. ;-)

As for ideas, widen the search area and several hundred show up.

I live on the south coast of British Columbia and I'm looking for a boat to
cruise the upper coast, 'Charlottes and Alaska.

I would like a pilothouse ketch or cutter rig with enough power to motor
into a decent sea. I'd like accommodation for 2 for extended cruising with
room for 3 guests. Ability to single-hand would be a big asset. Comfort and
safety is valued over speed and looks. Quality is appreciated and I realize
it comes with a price tag.

The Fisher 30 and 34 seem to fit the bill, but I would welcome advice and
recommendations on other boats.

Any useful websites?

Thanks in advance

Bruce
