Puma 29
Description
The Puma 29 is a performance-oriented Spanish-built cruising sailboat designed by renowned British naval architect Angus Primrose and constructed by Puma Yachts (Nao-Glass) in Spain from 1979 to 1981. This 29.33-foot vessel represents Primrose's expertise in creating seaworthy, performance-oriented designs that balance racing capability with cruising comfort. Built with fiberglass construction featuring a fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration and masthead sloop rig, the boat was produced during a brief but focused production run. While exact production numbers remain unclear, the design reflects the late 1970s emphasis on performance cruising yachts that could excel both on the racecourse and during coastal adventures. The vessel features moderate displacement with excellent stability characteristics, making it well-suited for racing applications while maintaining reasonable cruising comfort.
