General Overview of the Famous Sadler 29
The Sadler 29, a classic sailing yacht designed by the renowned David Sadler. Launched in 1981 as a smaller counterpart to the Sadler 32, the Sadler 29 quickly gained a reputation for its remarkable handling, seaworthiness, and innovative "unsinkable" design. With nearly 400 units built between 1981 and 1988, this yacht has proven itself as an exceptional choice for both seasoned sailors and families looking to explore coastal waters.
Key Features Design and Construction:
The Sadler 29 is cleverly constructed with twin GRP hull skins separated by closed-cell foam buoyancy, ensuring that it is one of the safest yachts on the market. This unsinkable design has been tested to remain afloat and maneuverable even when completely flooded.
Performance:
Renowned for its vice-free sailing characteristics, the Sadler 29 offers an exhilarating sailing experience. With a sail area of 506 sq ft, she provides excellent performance across various wind conditions. The yacht's design was lauded by 'Yachting Monthly,' stating, "It would be hard to find an easier boat to sail, and she feels as though she could cope easily with bad weather."
