Hughes 29
6 / 45 - score 58%
The Hughes 29 is a 29.33ft masthead sloop designed by Howard Hughes and built in fiberglass by Hughes Boat Works since 1975.
190 units have been built.
The Hughes 29 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
