About the CORBY 29
The Corby 29 is a 29.0 ft masthead sloop designed by Corby and built in 2007, with an unknown total hull production count. It features a displacement of 6875.0 lb and a beam of 9.4 ft, offering a balanced performance profile with a D/L ratio of 189.52.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable motion (Comfort ratio 20.34) and modern electronics integration over heavy bluewater endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a Capsize ratio of 1.98 and a relatively light displacement of 6875.0 lb, the boat is better suited for coastal and protected waters rather than extended offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other 2000s-era 29-foot performance cruisers like the Beneteau First 29 or O'Day 28, sharing similar masthead sloop rigs and fin keel configurations.
