Rawson 30- A Blue Water Cruiser?

[jrd22]

A friend here on the island had a Rawson 34 PH and I was really impressed with it. Well built and finished. It was a cutter and everything seemed to be well laid out. Unfortunately I didn't get to sail on it before he sold it so can't comment on that.

ALCYONE 333 3B33E RAWS30-1 EHW DEVON BLANKENSHIP

There is the name, rating, code, boat, club and name of a local PHRF NW rawson 30 owner. I'd say 333 is a dang slow rating! SWAG base rating is about 297, gets and extra 6 secs per code 3 for jib, main and fixed prop, with the B being NFS, credit of 21 secs on that one. Not sure what the E stands for.

John is that a typo or did you mean '34'? I've never heard of/seen a R34...

A Cal 20 would have to give it 1 1/2 minutes a mile! Even those horrible Bayliner Buccaneers would owe it more than a minute a mile. Slow doesn't begin to describe it.

The one in the ad appears to have a short sprit to move the genoa forward, so this guy may have the weather helm problem fixed.
