Paceship 29 Cc Performance

How the Paceship 29 Cc performs on the water — racing handicap, sail-carrying power, stability and comfort.

+ Add to Compare

The Paceship 29 Cc is designed for cruising comfort rather than racing.

Hull Speed

The theoretical displacement-mode speed limit — determined by waterline length, not engine or sail power.

6.3 kts
A displacement hull pushes a bow wave whose speed is limited by the waterline length. With a waterline of 22.0′, the Paceship 29 Cc tops out around 6.3 knots in displacement mode — after that, the bow wave outruns the hull and resistance climbs steeply.
1.34 × √22.0′ LWL = 6.3 kts
