The North Sea
29 is a centerboard boat, originally
designed for sailing in the rough North Sea.
She's a fairly heavy displacement boat that
should prove a very capable ocean cruiser.
She offers
excellent stability and the promise of good
performance, while the centerboard will make
it easy to escape crowded anchorages or
explore shallow cruising grounds.
Plans for the
North Sea 29 include computer generated
offsets with no lofting needed. No building
molds are used — four laminated ring frames
plus bulkheads provide the mold over which
the strip planking is fastened. The strips
are then covered by two layers of 1/8"/3mm
veneer.
A Bermudan rig is available as an option.
Boats are under construction in the US
(Montana) and Belgium.
