About the Paceship 29 Cc

Built by the well-regarded Canadian manufacturer Paceship Yachts, the 29 CC represents part of a legacy of practical, well-constructed sailboats that earned a loyal following across North America. Paceship developed a strong reputation during the 1960s and 1970s for producing capable, accessible cruising boats, and the 29 CC fits comfortably within that tradition. Designed with coastal cruising in mind, this boat is likely well-suited to sailors seeking a manageable, family-friendly vessel for weekend adventures and extended coastal passages. Paceship boats were generally known for solid construction, sensible layouts, and sea-kindly hulls that prioritized comfort and reliability over outright racing performance. The CC designation typically suggests a cruiser-cabin configuration, pointing toward a boat with practical accommodations and a focus on livability below decks. For buyers researching this model, detailed specifications can be difficult to track down, which reflects how many mid-century production boats have faded from documentation over time. Despite this, the Paceship name carries genuine credibility among vintage sailboat enthusiasts, and examples that have been well-maintained can offer an affordable and rewarding entry into bluewater-capable coastal cruising.

About this estimate
  • Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
  • Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
  • Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
  • Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
  • Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
  • Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
