The Vineyard Vixen 29 is a stout, sweet sailing double ender built on Martha’s Vineyard. The design is inspired by L. Francis Herreshoff’s Rozinante design, but with a split underbody to improve performance, and additional interior space for added comfort. The result is a gorgeous sailing boat, suitable for day-sailing, weekending and short cruises, that will garner admiration in any harbor. Imagine has been thoroughly updated from engine to deck, rigging, tanks, cushions and more.
Equipment: GALLEY: Gravity feed alcohol stove (2009) Hand-pump water system Large ice box Good storage outboard and below ELECTRONICS: New Garmin Echomap 64CV Chartplotter (2022) at helm, on adjustable mount Datamarine Depth Sounder New VHF radio (2022) SAILS: Bohndell Main 2011 Stack Pack for main with lazy jacks Bohndell Roller Furling Genoa 2011 Older Hood Main and Genoa CONSTRUCTION: The hull is a hand laid, solid reinforced fiberglass molding, using polyester resins and glass reinforcement. The bulkheads are tabbed to the hull for structural reinforcement with secondary bonding. The deck and cabin is made of molded, cored laminate, restored in 2011. The bottom has an encapsulated keel and a skeg hung rudder.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
The VINYARD VIXEN 29 was also available with a yawl rig.
