Off Center Harbor's Remarks
Based in part on designs of the 1920s and 1930s, the Fairchild-built Scout features a remarkable amount of interior space for a 30’ powerboat. In part this is due to 6’3” headroom below and the fact that, instead of having the usual V-berths forward followed by a separate main saloon followed above by a wheelhouse, this boat is divided into just two spaces: settee berths and a galley below and a helm station and seating area topside. Built in the 1980s the Scouts' fiberglass hulls and decks seem to be holding up nicely, and although it’s hard to generalize, their striking design and quality construction means that they are, for the most part, in the hands of owners who have maintained them in good condition over the years.
Description from Boat's Main Listing
Classic:
1…. of or relating to the first class or rank.
2…. in accordance with a coherent system considered as having its parts perfectly coordinated to their purpose
3…. the Fairchild Yachts Scout 30 “Liberty”
Webster-
Webster summed it up well and “Liberty” is every bit classic and very cool. Impeccable in every detail, the Fairchild Yachts Scout 30 “Liberty” was owned by its designer, Ben Ostlund as the last hull produced by the original manufacturer, Fairchild Yachts of San Diego, California. The Scout 30 makes no concessions to nostalgia. Nothing about her design is extraneous or superficial. The overwhelming resemblance to a yacht of the 20’s was not a contrived marketing stratagem. The Scout 30 was a result of a desire to design the most natural configuration for a 30′ flush deck motor cruising yacht. It’s not really a 20’s design, it’s a timeless design. A nautical jewel with comfort, efficiency and room below befitting for lazy harbor jaunts or cruising destinations out of sight, the Scout 30 “Liberty” is a timeless classic. “Liberty currently holds a 6 pack certification for an uninspected vessel capable of carrying up to 6 passengers for hire. A great opportunity to offset costs of ownership.
