About the LANCER 29 PS
Power Sailer Model. Like the other Lancer PS models, these boats were more of a hybrid power-sailboat than a sailing auxiliary or motorsailer and can accept large outboard motors. The LANCER 29PS was not built in great numbers.
The Lancer 29 PS is a fractional sloop designed by Herb David and built by Lancer in 1984. With a displacement of 6800.0 lb and a full/long keel, this vessel represents a specific era of American production, though the exact number of hulls built remains unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers who prioritize stability and ease of handling over high-speed performance, given its moderate comfort ratio of 22.0 and traditional hull form.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.96 and a heavy displacement of 6800.0 lb on a full keel, the Lancer 29 PS demonstrates inherent stability suitable for protected offshore passages, though its single-year production run limits long-term parts availability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from the same era include the Cal 29 and O'Day 28, which share similar beam dimensions (9.25 ft) and displacement ranges, offering alternative fractional sloop configurations for nearshore cruising.
