About the ARTINA 29
Some have masthead rigs. Artenko was builder for two years. Then taken over by Swing Yachts and name changed to Artina 291. Thanks to Niklas Holmberg, owner of the boat pictured from 2004-2013, for updated information.
The Artina 29 is a fractional sloop designed by Hans Groop and built by Artekno OY in Finland during 1988. With a displacement of 6834.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 19.93, it offers a balanced blend of performance and stability for its era.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable size with a fractional rig for easier handling. Its dimensions and design make it well-suited for couples or small families seeking a comfortable day-sailer or short-cruise vessel.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.06 and a displacement of 6834.0 lb, the Artina 29 is primarily designed for coastal use rather than extended bluewater passages. Its fin keel and moderate draft of 5.15 ft favor shallow water access over heavy offshore stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other late-1980s European fractional sloops of similar length, such as the Beneteau First 27 or the O'Day 27, which share similar fractional rigging and coastal cruising roles. These models offer similar beam and draft characteristics for easy trailering and marina storage.
