About the CHANCE 29/25 (PACESHIP)

Designed by Britton Chance and built by Paceship Yachts (CAN), the Chance 29/25 is a rare vessel with only 26 hulls constructed between 1973 and 1974. This limited production run creates a distinct market position for this 29.0 ft LOA masthead sloop.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who value a comfortable motion, evidenced by a comfort ratio of 23.09, without the excessive weight of heavier offshore designs.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 7500.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.86, the boat offers moderate offshore stability suitable for protected waters and short passages rather than extreme bluewater expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other early 1970s Canadian-built fin-keel sloops like the Island Packet 28 or Pearson 28, as they share similar displacement ranges and coastal cruising roles.
