Tylercraft 29

Built by Tylercraft Inc. beginning in 1975, this 29-footer represents a practical approach to coastal cruising with its distinctive twin keel configuration. The twin keel design allows the boat to sit upright when beached or dried out in tidal areas, making it particularly appealing for gunkholing and exploring shallow waters where conventional deep-draft sailboats cannot venture. With a masthead sloop rig and fiberglass construction, the Tylercraft 29 offers straightforward sailing characteristics well-suited to weekend cruising and coastal exploration. The boat's substantial displacement of 7,200 pounds, combined with 3,000 pounds of ballast, provides good stability and a reassuring feel in moderate conditions. The comfort ratio of 25.18 suggests a motion that favors cruising over racing, while the capsize screening formula of 1.8 indicates reasonable stability for coastal waters. The twin keel arrangement does come with trade-offs, as these boats typically don't point as high or sail as efficiently to windward as their fin keel counterparts. However, for sailors prioritizing versatility, shallow-water access, and the ability to dry out safely, the Tylercraft 29 delivers a capable platform for relaxed coastal adventures and family sailing.
