I haven't anything form the twenty-nine point 5 crew in a while. Where have we been? Too busy using our boats perhaps. I wish that were my excuse. Anybody got any interest comments, questions, or concerns about the 29.5s? Among the promised and missing articles: Pictures of bowsprits Custom modifications Usual stuff

Can't write a productive search string.

Andy, Interesting that I should see this posting when I came up to post. I have seen, but can't find recommendations for switching to a three bladed prop on a 29.5 Does anyone have a specific prop that you would recommend, and why? Russ Her Diamond Ring

Try the archives. Search on the term 'prop blade.' Set the model for 29.5. Search posts and replies, search title and message, set the bottom buttons to search for 'all' words.

We're here

When we respond, the "relevant to" box default is whatever it was for the original post. So it's rare for my replies to show as "29.5". Also, more often than not, topics are not really model-specific. So, don't worry - you're not alone. Besides, you might be more right than you think about being out sailing. Big enough to entertain and go long distances, small enough to single-hand. I go out for evening cruises 2-3 times a week and extended sailing on the weekend. I think the 29.5 is just the right size to maximize usage. Of course, I hope everybody thinks the same about their own boats, whatever the size.

Your right Gene

Gene is right about the 29.5 being "Big enough to entertain and go long distances, small enough to single-hand" It is excellent for cruising with the small family. Now I think no matter what the prop size, whether you have autohelm, or whether you have the bimini in the middle, aft, or even forward-its Labor Day Weekend-time to go sailin'!
