Lancer 29 Mark III

Sailboat class

The Lancer 29 Mark III, also called the Lancer 29-3, is an American sailboat that was designed by C&C Design as a cruiser and first built in 1977. In 1982 the boat was renamed the Lancer 30.[1][2][3]

Quick Facts Development, Designer ...

The Lancer 29 Mark III is thought to have been built using the molds for the C&C 30, hence the design credit to C&C Design. There was no Lancer 29 Mark I or II, but the C&C 30 was produced in Mark I and Mark II versions.[1][3][4][5]

The Lancer 29 Mark III is sometimes confused with the unrelated Lancer 29 PS power sailer.[1][3]

Production

The design was built by Lancer Yachts in the United States from 1977 until 1981, but it is now out of production.[1][3][6]

Design

The Lancer 29 Mark III is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a skeg-mounted rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 7,800 lb (3,538 kg) and carries 3,000 lb (1,361 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 5.17 ft (1.58 m) with the standard keel and 4.17 ft (1.27 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][3]

The boat may be optionally fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 8 hp (6 kW), 12 hp (9 kW) or 15 hp (11 kW), or a 15 hp (11 kW) gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering. It could also be equipped with a small, well-mounted outboard motor.[1][3]

Cabin headroom is 72 in (183 cm). The fresh water tank has a capacity of 24 U.S. gallons (91 L; 20 imp gal).[1][3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.49 kn (12.02 km/h).[3]
