The SUNBEAM 29.1 is the logical development of the modern trailerable cruising yacht. Logical in its' compact dimensions of 8.95m long and 2.5m beam, for unlimited sailing freedom in all types of sailing areas and it is legally trailerable with a suitable vehicle. With its' specially constructed keel and the fast underwater form, the SUNBEAM 29.1 sails extremely well hard on the wind. The rudder with prominent skeg and the optimal underwater dynamics provide extremely good course holding properties and manoeuvrability. The ballast ratio is high at 38%. For shoal water areas a centreboard version with 70cm draft is available.

SYNTHESIS OF FORM AND SECURITY.. 

The SUNBEAM 29.1 is also logical in its' balance of security and comfort. Beginning with the high quality of construction including high level active and passive security, the hull of the SUNBEAM 29.1 is manufactured in solid laminate using hand lay up technique. Torsional strength is assured by the use of internal shells and reinforcement in all necessary areas. The hull thickness increases continuously from the upper freeboard area towards the keel sole. This achieves safety reserves that are way above the normal requirements. The standard of fitting out for active safety is notably higher in the SUNBEAM 29.1 than is normally expected in this size of yacht. From antiskid deck surfaces to rounded corners in the interior, a safe double cable deck railing, a divided pulpit, a pushpit with ladder, a practical reefing system, a sunken travellers, and hand railings in the right places. The stern spoiler is provided with special storage spaces for fenders and lines and the cockpit has a large storage locker and provision for the installation of an auto pilot. Teak surfaces in the cockpit and the spoiler are standard as are self tailing winches, a battened mainsail with lazy jacks, the lighting system and three strong deck hatches. The SUNBEAM 29.1 is conceived as a modern wing keel yacht.
