J/29 Masthead
Description
The J/29 masthead Rig (1982–1987) is a race-oriented 29 footer. The J/29 is a great performer upwind and can hit 6.5 knots with a 15 knot breeze. The interior is fine for short weekend cruises but it is most at home racing one design or PHRF.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
