The Northwind 29 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by C&C Design and first built in 1969. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Production

The design was built by Paceship Yachts in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada, who completed 104 examples between 1969 and 1972, but it is now out of production. ^{[1] [4]}

Design

Northwind 29 with a modified walk-through transom

The Northwind 29 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel, with a retractable centreboard. ^{[1] [3]}

The design displaces 6,600 lb (2,994 kg) and carries 3,180 lb (1,442 kg) of ballast. ^{[1] [3]}

The boat has a draft of 6.75 ft (2.06 m) with the centreboard extended and 3.08 ft (0.94 m) with it retracted. ^{[1] [3]}

The production boats were delivered with a factory-fitted Universal Atomic 4 gasoline inboard engine. ^{[1] [3]}

The fuel tank holds 15 U.S. gallons (57 L; 12 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 25 U.S. gallons (95 L; 21 imp gal). ^{[1] [3]}

The design has a hull speed of 6.29 kn (11.65 km/h). ^[3]

Operational history

The boat was at one time supported by an active class club, The Paceship, but the club is currently inactive. ^{[5] [6]}
