Duncanson 29
Effie is a sound, low-maintenance vessel well set up for coastal cruising. Built by Allan Smith, she was launched in 1982 for Bruce Dinham and later spent 18 years in the care of Eric Millard, both fastidious owners. Antifouling is done annually, and the engine is professionally serviced each year. A highlight of this design is the practical cockpit layout, especially when short-handed.
