Broker's Comments
This looks like a lovely example of one of these incredibly popular family, bilge keeled, Sadler 29S!
Her first impression are great - a nice, white, shiny exterior and a light, bright and airy interior that smells good and seems nice and dry - she was assessed as in "relatively good condition for her age" in her 2025 survey, showing that "she has had a certain amount of care and maintenance, over the years"
As with a lot of these boats, she is equipped for easy sailing - lines led aft, heating, centre cleats, sprayhood, lazy jacks, roller furling - the list goes on!
I'd say, that if you're a singleton, a couple, or a small family, looking for weekends away, or a little longer, then she could be a real prospect for you - especially given her bilge keels, which may allow that little bit extra exploration.
