Broker's Comments

This classic British cruising sailboat, designed by David Sadler and built by Sadler Yachts in the UK, features a distinctive double-skinned foam-filled construction. This design makes the boat unsinkable, as well as insulated and quiet. The Sadler 29 is known for its stability, seaworthiness, and ease of handling, making it a reliable choice for both coastal and offshore sailing.

With its elegant appearance and functional design, the Sadler 29 impresses from the outside with its graceful sheer line and fine bow entry, along with a hull that gleams and shines in the sunshine and appears to be in excellent condition.

The deep cockpit, complete with substantial coamings, ensures comfort and safety. Two large lockers provide ample space for all your cruising gear, including an inflatable dinghy/liferaft.

With its thoughtfully designed Interior below deck, the Sadler 29 continues to shine. The head of the quarter berth doubles as a seat for the dedicated forward-facing chart table, optimising space and functionality. The spacious saloon features a substantial timber table surrounded by plenty of seating, perfect for socialising or relaxing. Additionally, there is a spacious forward cabin, abundant stowage under the bunks and cabin sole, ensuring everything has its place.

This is a great example of the Sadler 29 and is well worth a look. Please contact us to arrange a viewing
