About the ALEUTKA 29
Available as a kit. Optional fin keel. Draft: 4.5 ft
The Aleutka 29 is a compact, heavy-displacement cruiser designed by John Letcher and built in 1980. With a displacement of 7500.0 lb and a LOA of 29.25 ft, it represents a niche entry in the late-1970s/early-1980s market, though specific hull production counts are not available in the current dataset.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and protected-water sailors who prioritize stability and comfort over high-speed performance. Its cutter rig and substantial displacement make it a comfortable, stable platform for couples or small families seeking a manageable, low-maintenance vessel.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.55 and a displacement of 7500.0 lb, the Aleutka 29 exhibits strong inherent stability suitable for protected offshore passages, though its short LOA of 29.25 ft limits its suitability for extended bluewater voyaging compared to larger designs.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 2-34 and the O'Day 28, which share similar beam widths and displacement characteristics from the same era. These vessels are comparable because they all prioritize interior volume and stability within the 28-30 foot footprint, often featuring similar heavy-displacement hull forms.
