DISCOVERY is Hull #237 of the very well respected and sea kindly Dyer 29’s. She has been continually upgraded and thoughtfully maintained by her owners and represents one of the nicest soft top versions her broker has seen. The hull is solid fiberglass with a fine entry and full keel/skeg which makes for a non-pounding, easily driven level riding hull in most all sea conditions. This timeless classic is ideal for day tripping, cocktails, fishing, or an extended weekend getaway.

BROKERS REMARKS
DISCOVERY is a delightfully well-proportioned example of this classic that has been beautifully maintained by the experts at McMillen Yachts in Portsmouth, RI. Her broker has spent considerable time behind the helm of another Dyer 29, and can attest to how predictable and easily these boats handle around the dock and in a seaway. DISCOVERY is inside in a well-lit, heated storage facility for the Winter and can be seen anytime day or night.
