Solus 29
6 / 228 - score 81%
The Solus 29 is a 28.54ft masthead sloop designed by Bjarne Marcussen and built in fiberglass by Bayliner (Buccaneer/US Yachts) since 1978.
50 units have been built.
The Solus 29 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has a good score and ranks in the top quarter. It is an excellent choice.
