With attractive lines, easily handled and intended to offer a satisfying performance to experienced sailors, the Sadler 29 also offers the benefits of 'unsinkability' and insulation through the use of space-filling foam between the hull inner moulding.
This twin-keeled example has been significantly updated in recent years, with a new Beta Marine engine fitted in 2021 (with only 75 hours run), a comprehensive recent B&G instrument fit-out including Triton displays and a Vulcan touch screen plotter, replacement standing rigging in 2018 and a Lewmar electric windlass fitted in 2022.
'Kinvara will appeal for the quality of presentation; her shoal draught; ability to dry out or to be laid ashore without recourse to a storage cradle; her low-hours recent engine combined with other recent equipment replacements. She represents a relatively straightforward and economic boat to take pride in.

History & Construction
This twin-keeled example of the Sadler 29 was built by Sadler Yachts, to what was their 'De-luxe' specification of the time including such niceties as the two-tone deck moulding, reefing lines brought back to the cockpit, etc. etc.
'Kinvara' has, in the past, been owned by a keen and deep-pocketed owner that is refected in the 'high end' instrument fit-out, stainless steel davits and the quality of the engine replacement. In the current and proud ownership the care has continued, witnessed by the good quality windlass fitment, combined with a top-of-the-range anchor and new chain cable; the fitting of simulated teak (Isiteek) sheathing to the cockpit seats and re-finishing of the deck moulding.
This particular Sadler 29 will appeal for the quality of presentation, low-hours recent engine, combined with it's shoal draft/drying out capability and simple sail handling features.
