Production

The design was built by Paceship Yachts in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada, who completed 104 examples between 1969 and 1972, but it is now out of production.[1][3]

Design
Northwind 29 with a modified walk-through transom

The Northwind 29 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel, with a retractable centreboard.[1]

The design displaces 6,600 lb (2,994 kg) and carries 3,180 lb (1,442 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 6.75 ft (2.06 m) with the centreboard extended and 3.08 ft (0.94 m) with it retracted.[1]

The production boats were delivered with a factory-fitted Universal Atomic 4 gasoline inboard engine.[1]

The fuel tank holds 15 U.S. gallons (57 L; 12 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 25 U.S. gallons (95 L; 21 imp gal).[1]

gollark: Not all of them? OH BEE.
gollark: ALL OF THEM. Am I right in saying that channels have modes, users also have modes, and each user-channel pairing has modes?
gollark: Now I just need to work out how "modes" work.
gollark: But are the records older than Haskell?
