Oe 29

Swedish designer Olle Enderlein created this distinctive 29-footer during the early 1980s, with Crown Marine producing just four examples between 1980 and 1981. Despite its limited production run, the Oe 29 represents an intriguing blend of performance and cruising characteristics that reflect Scandinavian design sensibilities of the era. The boat's fractional sloop rig and fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration suggest a design optimized for responsive handling and moderate performance sailing. With a displacement of 6,395 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, the Oe 29 offers reassuring stability while maintaining reasonable sailing performance. The hull's proportions, featuring a waterline length of 21.65 feet within an overall length of 28.74 feet, indicate thoughtful attention to sailing efficiency. This sailboat appears well-suited for coastal cruising and moderate offshore passages, with its comfort ratio of 23.19 suggesting a relatively comfortable motion at sea. The capsize screening formula of 1.88 falls within acceptable ranges for coastal and offshore sailing, while the sail area to displacement ratio indicates spirited performance potential. For sailors seeking a unique boat with Scandinavian pedigree and proven seaworthiness, the rare Oe 29 represents an interesting alternative to more common production boats of the period.
