Built in 1976 by Warrior Catamarans, this distinctive multihull represents an era when performance catamarans were gaining traction among serious sailors seeking speed and excitement on the water. Designed by the collaborative team of John Conser and Vince Bartolone, the Warrior 29 showcases the innovative thinking that characterized catamaran development during the mid-1970s. With its twin daggerboard configuration and fractional sloop rig featuring a rotating mast, this catamaran was clearly designed with performance in mind. The lightweight 2,000-pound displacement combined with 400 square feet of sail area delivers an impressive sail area-to-displacement ratio of 40.41, indicating exceptional potential for speed and responsiveness in favorable conditions. The fiberglass construction with Airex core provides structural strength while maintaining the light weight essential for catamaran performance. The 16-foot beam offers excellent stability and deck space, while the shallow 3.33-foot draft opens up cruising opportunities in protected waters and coastal areas where deeper monohulls cannot venture. This boat appeals to sailors interested in day sailing, coastal cruising, and club racing, particularly those drawn to the unique sailing characteristics and speed potential that only a well-designed catamaran can provide.
