Description

Solid 1984 Sadler 29 with serious upgrades: lithium house battery, Victron charging and monitoring, Vesper Cortex AIS/VHF, B&G plotter, diesel heating, and more. She sails well and all the expensive kit is already on board.

Not a project, but she does need some cosmetic TLC. The deck would benefit from a repaint, and the interior’s clean but tired in places — don’t expect shiny surfaces. Cooker’s grubby, upholstery is basic, and it’s not been staged for photos — just shown as-is. If you're after a showroom boat, scroll on. If you want a proper cruiser with real-world spec, read on.
