Peter Duck

I am after some info about the Laurent Giles Peter Duck design.
Are they a yaht capable of offshore sailing and a comfortable easily driven/balanced seaboat.I am considering purchasing one and foresee her being used for coastal cruising here in Australia and maybe a trans tasman trip or two

Never sailed on one but they have a reputation as a solid and safe design. See http://www.peterduck.co.uk/
You see quite a few around here on the Thames Estuary

Later ones had an extra plank I think.

I know the present and knew the previous owner of that boat.

Greg Palmer (previous owner) sailed her round Britain and to St Petersburg.

Present owner says very capable boat.

I would have no worries.
