The Seafarer 29 is an American sailboat that was designed by McCurdy & Rhodes as an International Offshore Rule Half Ton class racer-cruiser and first built in 1972.[1][2][3][4][5]

Production[]

The design was built by Seafarer Yachts in the United States, starting in 1972, but it is now out of production.[1][2][4][5][6][7]

Design[]

The Seafarer 29 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of solid laminate fiberglass, with wood trim. It was built with two different deck plans: "Standard" and "Futura". It has a masthead sloop rig; a spooned, raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional centerboard. The fixed keel version displaces 6,610 lb (2,998 kg) and carries 2,560 lb (1,161 kg) of ballast, while the centerboard-equipped version displaces 6,665 lb (3,023 kg) and carries 2,490 lb (1,129 kg) of ballast.[1][2][4][5]

The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m), while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.50 ft (0.76 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.[1][2][4][5]

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an "U"-shaped settee in the main cabin around a swing table that converts to a double berth and an aft quarter berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the starboard side just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.[1][2][4][5]

The Half Ton class version was a specially configured model.[1][4]

The design has a hull speed of 6.18 kn (11.45 km/h).[4][5]

Operational history[]

The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the Half Ton Class.[8]
