LOA	28' 5" (exc rudder)	Sail area	506 sq ft main and genoa	Brief details
LWL	22' 10"	Rig	Masthead sloop	The Sadler 29 is one of the unsinkable Sadlers, with twin GRP hull skins separated by closed cell foam buoyancy. These boats have an excellent reputation for handling and seaworthiness, and make good safe family cruisers with a turn of speed. This yacht is a bilge keel version, offering a lot of versatility in cruising areas, also the option of cheaper shallow moorings. The engine was replaced in 2012, and since then has also had new sails, new self-tailing winches and last year cabin windows removed and re-sealed and a new Gori folding prop and propshaft.

Keel type	Twin iron bilge keels and transom-hung rudder

David Sadler, designer of the legendary Contessa 32, designed the Sadler 32 as a "modern replacement" in 1979. The boat proved immediately popular, and a smaller Sadler 29 followed two years later, this adding "unsinkability" to the design features. The boats were built with three keel choices. The design sold well, with nearly 400 built by Sadler Yachts between 1981 and 1988. A few more were built later in the 1990s, by Rival Bowman, who bought the moulds and rights to the design.

The Sadler 29 has an excellent reputation for handling and vice-free performance, and an early example was the first production boat in class in the 1982 Round Britain race. 'Yachting Monthly' reviewed the design and commented "....It would be hard to find an easier boat to sail, and she feels as though she could cope easily with bad weather".

Note: the two solar panels on deck are not functional

	Between 2017 and 2019 the main and genoa were replaced, also the standing rigging. The sails still appear to be in very good condition.

The original sheet winches have recently been replaced with new Antal 40 self-tailing winches

The present owner bought this boat around two years ago, downsizing from a modern 39-footer. When he bought it it had already had substantial upgrades made by the previous owner including new sails and standing rigging and new winches. He has now had the saloon windows removed and re-sealed, and fitted a new shaft and Gori folding prop, but finds that he may have downsized too much!
