Before you buy the boat, take her out for a good sail.. A person I knew on the dock a few years back, put a bundel into this Rawson 30. We gave him hell because he spent over 70k in the boat worth 30k.. He grabed a couple guys and sailed it down to La Paz.
A month or so later I ran into the guys that had gone down with him. All of them were experenced, not only at sailing but were regulars racing with the Yacht Club.
They all said the Rawson 30 was the worst sailing boat they had ever been on and during the trip, the wind had come up, blowing in the low 20s and to keep the boat under control, they had TWO people at the tiller.. Seems the boat has a real problem with weather helm.
Anyway, the story was he sold the boat in La Paz and married a local gal and now lives in a little shack on the water, somewhere north of the city..........
