About this yacht

SCOUT is a well-preserved Fairchild Scout 30, inspired by the elegant motor yachts of the 1920s and 1930s and one of only a handful originally built as a motorsailer. Designed and built in America, she combines classic lines and bronze hardware with warm wood accents and a protected wheelhouse to create an economical and comfortable classic cruiser. With only 60 Scouts reportedly built, SCOUT offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of classic yacht history that has been thoughtfully updated for modern dependability.
