maharg 2 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hi all, does anyone know of, or have experience in the performance of a Carpenter 29? How would it compare to say a Farr 9.2 or Lotus 9.2? I know it would likely be slower than a Y88, but by how much? Does anyone know any history on the Carpenter 29? Link to post Share on other sites
Absolution 7 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Looks like a "fast" Carpenter 29... http://racetrack.org.nz/class.php?rnk=2&s=1&classid=129 is about as fast as a slow Farr 9.2... http://racetrack.org.nz/class.php?rnk=2&s=1&classid=16 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'd say all the 29fters are equally likely to win and it would probably come down to the best crew. Best knot to talk 88's with me But none of the 29's would take a 88 usually I would expect. Knot masses in it but a 88 will always be faster. Link to post Share on other sites
Young Entertainer 59 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I had a look when i bought my boat and they a bit more cruiser orientated than racing, depending on what you want then the Lidgard 29 is good option in the same space, not quite as big inside but definatly sails better, Seems like the lidgard fits at the head of the cruising 29's (Whiting, Davidson, Marauder, Carpenter) and a bit behind the 88's. If you want to take a look at one without the saleman send me a PM, I can also offer a ride Thursdays or during BMW to see how one performs Link to post Share on other sites
sow1ld 2 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 hey farr9.2 will plane where as we have never managed to get the carpenter too! the Carpenter much bigger inside and better looking. Neither will hold a 88 Link to post Share on other sites
