The Chaser 29 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by American Doug Peterson as an International Offshore Rule Half Ton class racer and first built in 1975.[1][2][3][4]
The design was developed into the Buccaneer 295, US Yachts US 27, US Yachts US 29, Triton 27 and Triton 30, all unauthorized copies.[1][2]
Production
The design was built by Chaser Yachts in Erin, Ontario, Canada, starting in 1975, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6]
Design
The Chaser 29 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,600 lb (2,994 kg).[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 5.58 ft (1.70 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 30 hp (22 kW) gasoline engine for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 10 U.S. gallons (38 L; 8.3 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side amidships. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.83 kn (12.65 km/h).[2]
Operational history
The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the Half Ton Class.[7][8]
The prototype was named North Star and won the 1974 Half Ton World Championships, which were held in La Rochelle, France . One of the production boats, named Foxy Lady won the 1975 Half Ton World Championships, held in Chicago .[1][2]
