The Northern 29 is a 29.0ft masthead sloop designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Northern Yachts Ltd. (CAN) since 1972.
The Northern 29 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a good 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.
