Description

984 Sadler 29 – serious upgrades, honest condition

Solid Sadler 29 with substantial, high-value upgrades already done: lithium house battery, Victron charging and monitoring, Vesper Cortex AIS/VHF, B&G navigation suite, diesel heating, and four Harken self-tailing winches.

This is not a project boat, but cosmetics are honest rather than polished. The deck would benefit from repainting and the interior, while clean, shows its age. Not staged, not glossy — what you see is what you get.

Key upgrades include:
– Standing rigging replaced 2017
– Running rigging replaced 2021
– Harken Radial 40ST primaries ×2 and 16ST halyard winches ×2 (new 2018)
– 270Ah LiFePO? house battery with Victron MPPT, DC–DC charger, smart charger and Bluetooth monitoring
– 3× solar panels
– Vesper Cortex Class B AIS / VHF
– B&G Vulcan plotter with Triton instruments
– Eberspacher D2 diesel heater (professionally installed – this exact boat featured in Yachting Monthly:

The masthead wind sensor is a wireless unit. A loose VHF coax at the masthead likely requires re-securing via mast climb. Priced accordingly.

Additional photos and short videos available via Dropbox on request.

Currently afloat at Chichester Marina (berth paid, transferable subject to approval).

Ready to sail. Structurally sound. Big-ticket items already done.
Final reduction. Viewings welcome. Serious buyers only.

The boat can be viewed independently by arrangement. I’m not able to attend viewings in person due to work commitments.
