Elizabethan 29 |
Brief details |
Builder |
Peter Webster, Lymington, then Drummond Bayne Marine,
Woolston, Southampton. |
The Elizabethan 29
design is very much regarded as a modern classic, a larger and more
elegant derivative of the Folkboat hull form. When first built these
boats were competitive offshore racers, and cost well under £3,000
new. Now they make really good and reasonably low cost all-weather cruisers for those who
can live with what is by now seen as very small accommodation for
a 29-footer. |

The Elizabethan 29 was designed in 1960 by
C. R. Holman for Peter Webster Ltd., of Lymington, who marketed
a range of yachts of various sizes under the Elizabethan name.
The design is essentially a slightly elongated Folkboat type,
with an elegant counter stern added. Early boats had an external
iron ballast keel, but from 1967 onwards internal encapsulated
lead ballast was used. Most Elizabethan 29s were originally
fitted with small petrol engines, though most have by now
been re-engined.
The Elizabethan 29 was in series production by Peter Webster
from 1961/62 to 1976, but a number of later boats were built
from the moulds. Most of the Elizabethan range moulds were
taken over by Drummond Bayne Marine when Peter Webster ceased
trading in 1976, and it is believed that the yacht illustrated
was one moulded and possibly also fitted out there.
There are frequently considerable differences in fit out between
various Elizabethan 29s, particularly as quite a few bare
hulls were also sold for home completion.
