29' Vineyard Vixen 29

The Vineyard Vixen 29 is a stout, sweet sailing double ender built on Martha's Vineyard. The design is inspired by L. Francis Herreshoff's Rozinante design, but with a split underbody to improve performance, and additional interior space for added comfort. The result is a gorgeous sailing boat, suitable for day-sailing, weekending and short cruises, that will garner admiration in any harbor.
Imagine has been thoroughly updated from engine to deck, rigging, tanks, cushions and more.
