Kingfisher 30
2 / 9 - score 59%
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.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
