Fulmar & Twister Owners: Opinions please!

Agree with the vast majority of people. Fulmar every time. Get a good example and ignore the allegations that the Twister is a better sea boat. A well found Fulmar will look after you just as well. It’s your seamanship that matters.

Fulmars actually sail really nicely. They were often used as sailing school boats in their day. And not because they were gentle plodders. A perfect boat to cut your cruising teeth on IMHO.
I was a pupil on a Fulmar - even inexperienced me could tell that it was a good boat.
 
The Westerly Sea School had 12 Fulmar and then replaced them with another 12. They were all named after musical terms. So they had 2 Concerto's, but my Concerto pre-dated the Sea School. I believe the other Concerto's have been renamed, whereas mine dates from 1980.

Mine was called Tango, still written on the back of the floorboards.

There is a forum member who used to work keeping the Sea School boats serviceable. The usual was unblocking the toilets, but some repairs were more major like sending the hull back to the factory for repairs after a collision that need several weeks work.
