After considerable research we have decided our next boat will be an LM 30 or possibly 32, governing factors on which one will depend on availability as clearly there doesn’t seem that there are many around of either. Price will also come into it and crucially for us it will have to be a bilge Keel model, our current long keel Vancouver has been a great boat (proven blue water yacht) that will take take us pretty well anywhere, but as we are becoming older and have taken on another very large breed rescue dog, and now looking for a bit of comfort and looking to get into places that the Vancouver wouldn’t without being propped up in some awkward fashion.
So I would like advice please on numbers, does anyone know the build figures for fins and bilge keel boats, as most manufacturers of that era built more fins than bilge keel boats, and I would expect that the UK market would have ended up with more bilge keel boats than anywhere else?
