More of an advanced boat, the 29er is a fast skiff designed by Julian Bethwaite and first produced in 1998, and is the little sister to the 49er. It is targeted at youth, especially those training to sail the larger 49er. It has a single trapeze and an asymmetric spinnaker much like that of the 49er (although smaller). The popular boat is considered a more rapid alternative to the laser vdinghy and has an international racing class devoted to it.
