29ft Motor Sailer, Design #232

This is the latest in a series of motor sailers I have done with a traditional flavour to them. This one is at the small end of the group. It was drawn for a customer in Russia who is going to tackle the building himself. It's just small enough it might be possible to get away with that approach given sufficient perseverance.  This will be a comfortable boat for a cruising couple with ample room for guests when needed. Construction is on the heavy side and is full laminated for minimum maintenance
