Kingfisher 30
2 / 4 - score 48%
The Kingfisher 30 is a 29.99ft masthead sloop designed by R. A. G. Nierop and built in fiberglass by Westfield Engineering Co. (Marine) Ltd. since 1970.
It accomodates 6 people in 2 cabins plus salon.
The Kingfisher 30 is a moderate weight sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is a very short water supply range.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
