Martin 29 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. What makes this Martin 29 special? Described by the owner as a stable and fast sailor with a classic full-bellied hull, this Martin 29 is also a rare find in the Netherlands, making it particularly appealing to buyers seeking something beyond the ordinary. The tiller steering outside provides direct contact with the rudder and complements the sporty, traditional sailing feel. With a clearance height of approximately 11.50 meters, she is suitable for many Dutch routes, ensuring that bridges challenging for taller masts remain within reach. What is her condition and recent maintenance? According to the information provided, the boat is in reasonable condition and was last out of the water in 2025. In the same year, it received a primer and three coats of antifouling, ideal for those looking to start the sailing season without major interruptions. The engine has been serviced, and bilge pumps have been replaced. Additionally, the fuel tank has been fitted with a sensor and gauge, although the fuel gauge is new and still needs to be installed by the buyer. Two portholes were installed in August 2022, and the sprayhood was replaced two years ago. These interventions reflect the practical and user-oriented care taken with the boat. What are the buyer's considerations? Two specific points have been mentioned for the buyer to address in their plans. The old mainsail cover needs to be renewed, and the navigation equipment requires inspection. Additionally, it is noted that some lines in the rigging will need replacement over time. These are common issues for a cabin sailboat of this type, but it is helpful to be aware of them in advance for budgeting and prioritizing purposes. How comfortable is it on board? Inside, the Martin 29 offers a standing height of approximately 1.90 meters, remarkably comfortable for a sailboat in this length class. It features a dining area, mattresses, and a neatly finished galley. There is a two-burner spirit stove, a stainless steel sink, and an electric faucet with a new pump. With two fixed berths and four additional berths, it is suitable for couples seeking space or families occasionally accommodating more people on board. The manual toilet is connected to a 40-liter holding tank, ensuring that waste does not discharge directly into open water. For cooler evenings, there is a heater on board, extending the sailing season and enhancing the cabin's comfort. What about the engine and electrical system? Equipped with a 28 hp Yanmar inboard diesel engine from 1998, featuring electric start and three cylinders, the Martin 29 is well-suited for maneuvering in the harbor and leisurely cruising on inland waters. The diesel tank has a capacity of 45 liters. Onboard, there is shore power available, and it has two batteries with a total capacity of 95 Ah, making it suitable for comfortable use in marinas and shorter stays at anchor, depending on your consumption. What navigation and sails are included? For those seeking a sailboat with navigation equipment, a complete basic set is present: autopilot, depth sounder, chart plotter, compass, log and speedometer, VHF radio, and wind gauge. As the equipment needs inspection, this may appeal to buyers who enjoy optimizing or modernizing themselves. The sail plan consists of jib, genoa, mainsail, and storm jib. The condition of the sails is described as reasonable, fitting for a boat used for leisure sailing on inland waters and lakes. This Martin 29 is an inviting choice for those in search of a classic cabin sailboat with a warm appeal, practical space, and a recognizable design. While it requires attention in some areas, it also offers a solid foundation for customization to suit personal preferences and to derive maximum sailing pleasure from it through the auction at Boatauction.
