LWL	24' 0"	Rig	Sloop	The Colvic Sailer 29 is a robust and spacious family cruiser, comparable in size to a Westerly Konsort. This 1981 example was owner completed to a very high standard, with a unusual 2+2 accommodation layout designed for the owners particular requirements - a big galley, fewer berths and bigger heads than would be normal in a boat of this size. They have owned her from new, and over the years she has taken them from the Solent to the eastern Mediterranean and back. She is now for sale only because age is restricting their sailing.

Designed by David Feltham in 1976, who also designed the Mirage, Cobra and Seawolf ranges of yachts, the Colvic Sailer 29 is a high-volume family cruiser. The hulls and decks were moulded by Colvic Craft in Essex, and generally supplied with internal structural bulkheads and engines in place, for completion by the purchasers.

The boats were built in fin and bilge keel versions, both with keels moulded as an integral part of the hull, and encapsulated ballast. The rudders are skeg-hung.

Many Colvic hulls were bought by professional boatyards, and fitted out for sale under their own name - for example the Colvic Sailer 29 was sold as the Velocity 30 by Aberdour Marine. Others were home completed, the standard of this work varying from truly awful to very good indeed - this yacht for sale being one of the really good examples of a home completed boat, with better joinery detailing than in many factory-built boats.

The Volvo MD11C engine does not look very smart, but has been regularly maintained, starts easily and runs well. These low-revving genuine marine diesels can be very long-lived if looked after.

The bow-up trim reduces when the holding tank forward is filled.
