J29 is a great sailing boat. Very seaworthy, goes great upwind and is a joy to race. Jahmon was bought back in 2015. Raced on Saturdays and regattas in Mahone Bay. The boat is set up well for racing. Also makes for a great cruising yacht. Our reason for selling is because moving onto something larger that is capable for offshore racing.
Here’s where the J/29 excels. She will do 6.5 knots upwind which is good for a 40 footer. To do this in 15 knots of wind with full main and #I genoa is remarkable. The standard fractional rigged J/29 sails under mainsail alone better than most 30 foot cruisers under full sail. This "no problem" alternative comes in handy getting through storms or crowded harbors.There are few boats that will plane downwind under better control with spinnaker. The faster she goes, the more stable she becomes. After the first hour at 11 knots, you actually begin to relax and settle into normal shipboard routine.
