Interesting that both pilothous versions of the Rawson shown above have bowsprits... the original 30 did not, though many have been modified.
I'd expect that to be due to some inherently heavy weather helm, relieved somewhat by using the bowsprit to move the CE forward on the sailplan.
btw Rawson also built a 26 footer, often described as a round chine, masthead version of the venerable Ben Seaborn designed Thunderbird.
