Design
The Alpha 29 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 7,275 lb (3,300 kg) and carries 3,042 lb (1,380 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 5.41 ft (1.65 m) with the standard keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 9 hp (7 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 29 U.S. gallons (110 L; 24 imp gal).[1]
