Broker's Comments
Discover this exceptional Sadler 29 with unmatched quality and reliability
The Sadler 29, the larger sibling of the renowned Sadler 26, boasts the same remarkable construction. This vessel has earned a stellar reputation as a steadfast and reliable seaboat, making it a top choice for discerning sailors. 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.
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.
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.
Modernised and Well-Maintained
This particular Sadler 29 has been meticulously maintained and has undergone significant modernisation in the past couple of years. For more detailed specifications, please refer to the specification sheet.
I have to say, in my opinion, she is one of the nicest examples of a Sadler 29 that I have discovered in a very long time. The quality and meticulous attention to detail her current owner has bestowed upon her throughout ongoing maintenance and upgrades is truly remarkable. She, in many respects, feels like stepping aboard a new boat. That, coupled with having been re-engined with the engine only having logged 58.5 hours, makes her a truly exceptional all-around vessel!
