Date :- 14-20/08/2010 Who Sails :- Youth Details :- The 29er is a high performance sailing skiff. It was designed to allow light crews to sail twin trapeze boats and as a training boat for the more powerful 49er. The 29er was designed by Julian Bethwaite with help from Jen Glass. The 29erXX is a high-powered rig for the existing 29er hull; indeed the new rig is extremely similar to the 29er's big brother - the 49er. The lack of an adjustable rudder or other extra controls make the 29erXX a simple design, yet it is extremely sensitive to sailors' movements. 29erXX sailors must be incredibly athletic and coordinated as the skiff provides a continuous challenge to even the most advanced sailors. All UK 29er boats are built by Ovington. Anticipated 50 – 80 boats
