C-29
The Seaward Classic C-29 is a powerful twin engine, four berth, offshore motor cruiser from the Seaward design stable. With its round bilge semi-displacement hull and weighing in at over 6 tons this is a craft designed to provide a high standard of sea keeping, handling and comfort for the cross-channel and cruising owner. The predictable and precise manoeuvrability achieved with the 3/4 length keel, contra-rotating propellers, and large twin foil section rudders, make this a very user-friendly craft when it comes to mooring up.
“A boat you can use, whatever the weather and really go places…” (Nick Burnham, Motor Boat and Yachting)

A generous size shower/WC is located forward on the port side of the forward cabin. The galley is non-gas and is located to starboard. Cooking is by way of a safe and fume free diesel fired ceramic hob. Fuel for the hob is supplied direct from one of the main fuel tanks. A 240v microwave cooker is fitted as standard. Power for the microwave is via the ring main shore supply connection. An inverter/charger is available on the optional extras list. This will enable the microwave and ring main to be used when shore power is not available.
Wheelhouse
The wheelhouse is arranged with the helm to port. Great attention to detail is given to the instrument layout to ensure everything is positioned for ease of use and all equipment and instruments are built in. The navigators position is to starboard with a desk locker for books and instruments. A similar seat is provided to that of the helmsman. The fridge is built into a unit below the navigators seat. An oak drinks locker is fitted aft of the fridge unit with built in stowage for bottles and glasses. A chart drawer is built in to the upper part of this locker. A second settee is fitted in the space between the drinks locker and the aft wheelhouse bulkhead. A stowaway dining table with pedestal is provided with table socket located between the two settees. This table can also be used in the cockpit.
Cockpit
The aft cockpit is self-draining. The forward part contains two hinge back engine boxes with moulded in seats/steps. A full width seat is fitted across the stern with lift up access to the steering gear and emergency steering. Hatches are fitted to the cockpit sole for access to the bilge and provide extra stowage space for ropes, fenders and equipment. Teak gratings are installed over the hatches as standard. The gratings greatly enhance the traditional appearance whilst protecting the hatch covers. A socket is provided in the sole to enable the dining table to be set up in the cockpit for al-fresco dining. A tonneau type cockpit cover is supplied as standard.
