Remarks
Compass 29's are renowned for their sea keeping qualities and build integrity. Compass Rose is a good example of these timeless classics in honest and original condition. I have owned her for 7 years mostly motoring (and occasionally sailing) on the harbour or out the heads (rarely). 6 feet (2 meters) headroom, spacious dinette for four adults, and multiple berths, alongside a galley and private head, making it practical for weekends or extended trips.

The Bukh 10 motor was totally reconditioned in November 2023 (7k) and has (approx. ) 15 hours. Low use because gearbox replaced and upgraded (clutch cone to plate box completed Feb 2025 - excellent upgrade (4k). All work by Bukh Diesel Sydney. Boat used 4 times since November 2023. Antifouled Jan 2025 ($1800). No evidence of any issues below the water. Solid hull. Regularly hauled out for anti-foul and inspection at Woodford Bay. The rigging (2013?) has had little work as the main is hardly ever used.
New accelerator and gear lever and cables 2023

New prop 2023($1200) New gauges (depth speed) 2022 New toilet pump March 2025 New batteries 2023 (starter, house) New furler rope (2023) Compass Rose is not a speedster but she will get you outside and back home. Ideal entry level yacht and well suited for shorthanded sailing. A fun boat to sail and spend a night on.

Timberwork is reasonable and the upholstery is in good condition. Needs some cosmetic TLC on the internal cabin (sanding paint etc from prior owner).
Over 11k spent on the motor and gearbox (receipts available). Selling because I'm not a sailor and age and mobility is catching up.

Moored Yacht Bay Loungeville. Mooring maybe available.
