The Sadler 29 is a well-regarded British cruising yacht, offering practical accommodation and reassuring sailing characteristics in a manageable package. Lotus is the desirable twin keel version, ideally suited to East Coast cruising and drying moorings. She benefits from the well-known Sadler double-skin hull construction, together with in-mast mainsail furling, diesel heating and a Bukh DV20 diesel engine which has previously been rebuilt.
