DESCRIPTION

Sadler£18,000

'Rumrat' is an example of the popular twin keeled version of the Sadler 29 and this one is of the later 'Built-in Buoyancy' examples. She will dry out on her own keels and can be laid ashore without recourse to hiring/using a storage cradle.

With attractive lines and easily handled, the Sadler 29 was intended to offer a satisfying performance to experienced sailors. The Sadler 29 also offers the benefits of her foam-filled internal moulding for good insulation levels and dry, wipe clean under-berth spaces.
This particular example benefits from a replacement engine and a relatively recent refit, followed by subsequent maintenance, together with modernequipment upgrades. Unfortunately, the hull has been hand-painted and now, significant areas of the finish have come away on the fenders, but we suggest that overall 'Rum Rat' represents a relatively straightforward, rewarding and economic boat to take pride in. There have been many expensive items of equipment added to her inventory over the last couple of years.

History & Construction

This bilge-keeled example of the Sadler 29 was built by Sadler Yachts Ltd in 1988.
GRP hull supported by an internal moulding and the internal voids filled with closed cell foam to provide buoyancy, while the deck is of a conventional balsa-cored structure, with internal head liner in the modern idiom. The transom hung rudder is su[pported by a deep skeg. Twin ballast keels of cast iron are externally fastened using stainless steel fastenings.

The hull, which is believed to have been faded pale blue has been re-painted by hand, while the deck's original two-tone finish has been retained, with the non-slip areas having been painted, leaving the white gloss areas in the original white gelcoat.

The cockpit seats and bridge deck have been sheathed in hardwood of good thickness and the edge cappings rebated to protect the exposed internal edges. As will be seen in the photographs, the lifting cockpit sole was sheathed at the same time.

'Rumrat' was the subject of a major refit in 2019, and since then - in the current ownership -  has received frequent renewals, maintenance and equipment upgrades.
