Hello Plan B, A few years ago, while cruising the
South Pacific, a Fisher 30 was in our Cruising Group. The
boat was Swiss flagged and had already crossed the Atlantic and Pacific. We talked only a couple times with the married crew as there was a bit of a language problem. A side story is that while sailing westward in our loosely formed group, one of the boats began taking on
water and could not stem the ingress sufficiently. The Fisher 30 was the closest buddy
boat and rescued the crew. The other boat went down in mid ocean. (Our group had all been in daily contact via the SSB). Although I never heard all of the rest of the story, I assume the Fisher continued on around the world. As a tip, I would suggested you bias the boat a bit more toward sailing ability. Quite simply, a good sailing prop, like a Max-prop. Flush mounting of through-Hull’s. A smoother bottom. Perhaps a smaller aperture, and good light air
sails. Good luck.
