Summary

The 1986 Sadler 29 for sale exudes classic charm and proven seaworthiness, setting it apart as a remarkable family cruiser. Located in Canvey Island, United Kingdom, it offers an impressive overall length of 8.66 meters, manoeuvrability expertly complemented by a 2.90 metre beam. Having journeyed as far as Ireland and Turkey, this well-cruised, shallow keel gem has stood the test of time, remaining with the same owner for the past 33 years. She may be basically equipped, but her well-maintained condition and the five coats of Gelshield applied by the owner speak for her reliability and resilience. Up to six berths are offered in two cabins, with a comfortable saloon, a galley equipped with a Flavel Vanessa gas cooker and sink, and a separate heads compartment. The manually pumped cold water supply, grey fabric upholstery, curtains and teak, and holly stripe floorboards complete the cosy interior. She's powered by a reliable 1986 Bukh DV20, the twin-cylinder, 20hp marine diesel engine is sea water-cooled and delivers consistent performance. For navigation, the boat hosts a Plastimo bulkhead mounted compass, a Shark speed/log, a Seafarer 700 echo sounder, a Garmin 152 GPS, an Autohelm tiller pilot and a radar reflector. Additional features include a 2001 Tinker Tramp dinghy, fire extinguishers, a deck light and a horseshoe lifebuoy. The Sadler 29, competitively priced, is as capable as it is classic, promising memorable voyages for her new owner.

About this Sadler 29

English

The Sadler 29 is a well-proven and seaworthy family cruiser with impeccable manners and crisp performance. Con Brio is a well cruised, shallow keel example, having taken her current owner as far afield as Ireland and Turkey from her berth in Essex. Basically equipped but well maintained, the new owner has even applied five coats of Gelshield. She is competitively priced and benefits from being in the same ownership for the last 33 years. The owner bought the boat through Clarke & Carter in 1991 and we are delighted to be listing this boat again after all that time.
