Vintage Fairchild 30′ Scout Walkthrough

Back in the late 1970’s, naval architect Ben Ostlund was commissioned to design a raised deck, fiberglass-hulled boat that paid tribute to the gorgeous wooden cruisers of the 1920’s. The result was the stunning Fairchild Scout 30. This remarkable small live-aboard is owned by Russell and Nancy Bourne of Jupiter, Florida. With a super-efficient small diesel engine, Hope and Glory not only averages a mere gallon-per-hour fuel burn, but she’s proof that you don’t have to be rich to enjoy one of the coolest boats on the water.
