30ft-ish offshore-capable cruiser/racer?

Yes Dr she would sail rings around most of the boats mentioned in the light or the heavy, and you have a bonafide kiwi classic. Have a look around the Bay of Islands at Christmas see how many of these are being sailed by older couples that have come up from Auckland or further, then see how many 88's or 1020's are there doing the same. Its a revelation to many to see who really does the cruising miles not once but every year. Kauri Townsons

Any Townson is a great boat to hone your sailing skills.

Beautifully balanced non twitchy and no tip truck.

Really nice feature among many is the engine sited above the keel in the saloon.

There are a lot of pig ugly tired orphans out there but it would reasonably hard to find a Townson that is dogged.

Got a real cutie T32 on my marina getting a birthday,simplicity at its best.
