The Seidelmann 295 is an American sailboat that was designed by Bob Seidelmann as a cruiser and first built in 1982.[1][2][3][4]

Production

The design was built by Seidelmann Yachts in the United States , from 1982 until 1986, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6]

Design

The Seidelmann 295 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 7,200 lb (3,266 kg) and carries 3,200 lb (1,451 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 6.18 ft (1.88 m) with the centerboard extended and 3.25 ft (0.99 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 15 hp (11 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 30 U.S. gallons (110 L; 25 imp gal).[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and dual fold-out settee berths in the main cabin, with a fold-away table. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, icebox and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. The cabin sole is made from teak and holly.[1][2][7]

The design has a hull speed of 6.62 kn (12.26 km/h).[2]
