29er
Description
The 29er is a high-performance, double-handed skiff-type sailing dinghy designed as a youth-oriented steppingstone to the Olympic-class 49er and 49erFX. It’s known for its speed, agility, and ability to introduce young sailors to skiff sailing, with a focus on planning, trapeze work, and asymmetric spinnakers. Named for its hull length of approximately 2.9 meters (9.5 feet), it’s a smaller, more accessible version of the 49er, ideal for developing skills for competitive sailing. 198 lbs.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
