Remarks
All sail controls are all in the cockpit including 2 reefs for safe solo sailing. Whether for yourself or family, this Compass 29 is one of the best and last built by Compass Yachts Ltd. As it was launched in Nov 1981 (the last year of production which was from 1974 to 1981). So by then, Compass Yachts Ltd. Had worked out all their early production issues. A new Beta 20hp engine (2016) was installed and has been regularly serviced with very low hours, new standing rigging in July 2018 with a very good hull.
