Description

The Sadler 29 is an attractive yacht which offers satisfying sailing performance combined with ease of handling which will appeal to both experienced and less experiences sailors alike. The Sadler 29 features inbuilt buoyancy and insulation through the use of space-filling foam between inner and outer hull mouldings.
This bilge-keeled example with the relatively shallow draft of 3’ 7” offers the ability to dry out on a mooring and to be laid up ashore without need for a cradle.
Daedalus has had only three owners from new and has been the subject of extensive and meticulous refitting since 2017, with many features designed to facilitate both safety and ease of single handed cruising. These include an electric anchor windlass and custom hand rails. She has a very full inventory of instruments, warps and fenders, a versatile suit of sails including a recent cruising chute by Ullman Sails and many interior improvements for comfortable cruising.
