The Seaward 29 is a powerful twin screw, four berth, offshore motor cruiser from the Nelson design stable of TT Boat Designs. With its round bilge semi-displacement hull and weighing in at 6 tons. This is a craft designed to provide a high standard of sea keeping for the cross Channel cruising yachtsman. The predictable and precise maneuverability achieved with the 3/4 length keel, conta-rotating propellers and large twin airfoil section rudders, along with the wide low side decks make this a very user friendly craft when it comes to mooring up at your journeys end. The standard craft is offered with a full cruising specification including hot water, shower, refrigerator and electric windlass. The owner is able to personalise the craft by choosing the materials and fabrics for carpets, berth cushions and cockpit seating from a wide selection. Hide and Alcantara are also available at extra cost. The following information describes the standard layout but other layouts are also available, including an arrangement with the galley located in the wheelhouse.
Seaward boats are built to be enjoyable to drive, easy to handle and are probably the most sea kindly vessels in their size range. The 29 is well suited for offshore use and complies with the requirements of the European Recreational Craft Directive for wind speeds up to force 8 and wave height up to 4 meters. Twin Yanmar inboard shaft drive diesels with contra-rotating propellers are standard on the 29 with the power output of 240hp (28 knots) to suit the performance required.
The craft can be supplied semi custom built or to the following to Standard Specification:-
