Summary

The Sadler 29 is a classic British cruiser renowned for her seaworthiness, forgiving handling, and solid build quality. Designed by David Sadler, she offers reassuring performance in all conditions, making her equally suited to coastal cruising and adventurous offshore passages.

This 1986 example presents in good order, with the benefit of her “unsinkable” construction – double-skinned hull with foam core for exceptional buoyancy and insulation. She features a spacious and practical layout below, with comfortable accommodation for up to 5, a well-appointed galley, and a bright saloon thanks to generous coachroof windows.

Recent upgrades and diligent maintenance make this Sadler 29 an attractive choice for buyers seeking a proven cruising yacht with character and capability.

Owner's Comments

Barcarolle III is a weel cared for boat that was lightly used by her previous owner and has looked after us well. We have sailed her between Bristol and and the Solent via the Isles of Scilly several times. She is sure footed, easy to sail and carries a good amount of speed for her size.

We have enjoyed her so much that we have decided to commit to a larger boat.
