Boat Name Cross-Reference

Due the smaller fore triangle, the 29 actually has less upwind sail area than the 30. The down wind sail area is higher as the 29's mainsail is larger than the 30 and utilizing the "stock" penalty pole, the 29 has the same sized spinnaker as the 30.

A side-by-side comparison of the 30 and 29 is shown below. Note the differences in keel/rudder shape, open transom, and fractional rig.
