Thanks for looking! Up for grabs is this SUPER RARE North Atlantic 29 , junk rigged sailboat.
She is located in Alameda , Ca. (San Francisco Bay Area)
I have decided reluctantly to list my North Atlantic 29 , factory
Junk Rig sailboat
for sale. I have 2 sailboats . . . and just want to concentrate on finishing my other one.
The North Atlantic 29 was designed by the one and only Blondie Hasler and made by the Bounty Yacht company in
California , they made approximately 8-10 of these. They are INCREDIBLY rare . . .and owners rarely sell them.
She would make an excellent "go anywhere"
boat for a solo sailor or couple.
Chris and Jess Bray have done some fantastic voyages on a cold molded version of this design. They voyaged the entire Northwest Passage! you can
google "Teleport" and see videos online of their incredible voyage . . .and how bulletproof the NA29 is.. They are also selling their
boat for $30,000.
She is a U.S. Coast Guard Documented Vessel and is located in Alameda ,
California
She is a spectacular design . . .. . .with a very unique , all
weather "mid cockpit" . . . she can be sailed from inside the warmth of the boat. She also has a gimbaled , swinging seat , so you can sit and 'drive " the boat while relaxing and enjoying the view!
After spending the last few weeks aboard ,
cleaning her up and taking stock , it appears that the previous owner was right in the middle of a complete
refit when he
sold her. Some
gear is only partially installed . . .meaning not wired up yet and never used. She has many projects to complete . . .but is an incredibly well built and ROCK SOLID boat.
The boat is "geared up" very well :
Wind Generator ,
Sailomat 3040
wind vane,
GPS ,
Chartplotter , all wind/speed sailing
instruments ,a new (uninstalled) 20 gallon
fuel tank, 35 lb.
CQR knockoff
anchor with tons of chain, miles of spare line , a never used $3000.
Maxwell power anchor windlass , 2 gorgeous Anderson
self tailing winches ,and even has a "Hasler-esque" clear plexiglass dome for one of the round hatches . . .VERY COOL!
I have the tanbark sail partially rigged (just need to do the parrels) and it and all battens are in fine condition.
The
Volvo MD7a (13 h.p.)was partially taken apart , and I , along with some mechanical help , deduced that he was
cleaning out the
cooling system . . . pretty common on these. I just spent the last week cleaning and putting the
motor back together with new gaskets. She spins freely and has great
compression . . ..but . . ..now the starter is frozen from sitting so long and needs a
rebuild (the starter)
She needs a haul and new
bottom paint.
Previous owner cut out half of the starboard settee to build a proper
galley . . .so , there is a big hole there. The new bulkhead is already cut . . ..ready to build to suit.
a few days of
work sorting the
engine . . .and she will be out sailing , another month of sweat and
elbow grease . . .and you will have a fine , junk rigged vessel that can take you anywhere in
safety , comfort and style.
