PRESS REVIEW:


‘The sleek Sparkman & Stephens design has a distinct familial resemblance to the M36 and 42, from the deck and cabintop styling down to the cove stripe that accentuates the subtle sheerline. It reminds me of one of my favorite boats, the Dragon, which is about the same size; like that boat, the M29 has a sweetness of line that will seduce any classic-boat aficionado—in fact, any sailor. It just looks right……..


I could have sat in that long, comfortable cockpit all day, fingertips on the tiller, until the sun was ready to set. It seems to me that people who go down the daysailer route seldom go back to big cruisers or racers, and I can understand why. Boats like this are easy. Easy on the eye, easy to sail, easy to maintain, easy to load on to a trailer and take home for the winter. Easy to fall in love with, too, I reckon.’
