cascade 29 sailboat review

The Cascade 29 is a 29.0ft cutter designed by Robert A. Smith and built in fiberglass by Cascade Yachts/Yacht Constructors, Inc. since 1961.

355 units have been built..

The Cascade 29 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.

Review of Cascade 29

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The Cascade 29 has been built with different keel alternatives.

Unknown keel type

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.28 - 1.38 meter (4.20 - 4.50 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.45 - 1.55 meter (4.76 - 5.06 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Cascade 29 is typically equipped with an inboard Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine at 30 hp (22 kW).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.6 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Cascade 29 is about 132 kg/cm, alternatively 744 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 132 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 744 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 22m 2 (236 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

1972 Cascade 29

• Description

Seller's Description

It’s time to go Sailing!

Take a look at this very well-kept 1972 Cascade 29 with a wooden boom roller furler!

The shiny hull tells you what you need to know. From the bow to the stern Lazerete the cleanliness and superb fiberglass shine jumps out at you.

As you step inside you can see the nicely polished wood that goes throughout the boat. The two stern sleeping areas are roomy. The vinyl cushions look fresh and clean throughout the boat. The dinette turns into a bed with lots of storage underneath. The head is handy and has a storage area.

Nice reading lights are in the V-berth with storage underneath.

What stands out is the picturesque added yachty steering wheel with the tiller still there in case of an emergency!

The galley is gimballed with a stove and broiler.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The first ‘Cascade’. Some were sold as bare hulls. A modified version of the boat was available as long as the company was in business.

Cascade Yachts - 27' Cascade "pocket cruiser"

• Thread starter Cascade27
• Start date Apr 11, 2020
• Tags 27 foot cascade yachts pocket cruiser sloop
• Forums for All Owners
• Ask All Sailors

Hello all! I'm relatively new to the forum and a relatively new sailor/cruiser although I've driven ski boats all my life. It wasn't until later that I fell in love with sailing. It's a life changing experience and having the love of water already apart of me sailing has made me feel that much more connected to the sea. Last August 2019 I bought a 1980 27' Cascade and have spent many days sailing my local waters in the South Puget Sound ever since. Of course I will be sailing as much of the Puget Sound as possible and then this summer venturing up to the San Juan Islands. Eventually I would like to explore Victoria B.C. and the surrounding islands and inlets, then one day sail to Alaska and explore. I would love to share some pics and get any feedback on the boat. I know Cascade Yachts were built in Portland, OR and were the product of lead designer Robert Smith who took hull #1 and won his division in the Swiftsure Race. She handles well although has a rather narrow beam at 8.83ft. She's a Masthead Sloop. Fin w/spade rudder and displacement of 6,400 lbs. Any thoughts, feedback or anyone else with a Cascade would love to hear from you. Cheers!

Welcome. Nice looking boat.  

David in Sandusky

Looks good to me. But that doesn’t matter. What counts is how you feel on her. The cabin looks like two max for a meal. I’m curious about how many you can sleep. We spend most of our time on our h27 in the cockpit. But it’s good to be able to retreat to the cabin in cold or foul weather. We’ve sailed twice in the San Juans, and a cozy cabin is a plus there. Good luck on her this summer!

Also many were owner finished which degrades the overall often. Could be a fine boat, but don't pay too much. I never bought one when looking, much because toerails that almost always eventually start leaking into the boat. Very very hard to fix. If there are any signs of leakage or etc......... RUN!

Cascade 36' -- Advice Add to quote I've spotted myself a Cascade 36' that I'm interested in purchasing. I believe that this boat is capable of a transatlantic or circumnavigation voyage, but I'd like your opinions. If your a Cascade owner is there any advice that you would give to someone planning to take this sailboat out to sea?   I like Cascades, and I've looked at quite a few of them over the years. I'm not a Cascade owner, but I've come close. They are a narrow, sea worthy design, but they can vary in quality a great deal because so many were owner finished or had unusual decisions made during the completion process. The hulls have a good rep for being strong, and I've seen pristine and well-thought-out interiors, but I've also seen really poor interiors, exposed plywood, bizarre choices... Compared to a boat like a Pacific Seacraft or Islander 36, there's going to be a lot more latitude in quality, and you'd need a really good surveyor to separate a pearl from the rough. (Don't forget a rigging specialist, and perhaps a mechanical specialist.) They have gone long range, but you might be able to score a 42 footer at not much more than a 36, and have more space and a bit more speed. A comparable boat is a Spencer 42. Good luck!   Hey, Free to Sail, Great to see someone your age pursuing such a wonderful dream. I have no first hand Cascade experience, but I know that several have circumnavigated. One noteable example being Jim and Molly Moore's voyage on Swan. If you haven't yet, get your hands on 'By Way of the Wind' Jim's book. He and his wife circumnavigated and then some in a Cascade 36.....It's a great read, very pragmatic, he proves that any can do it provided they have common sense, determination and a good sense of humour.... Jim Moore is to me somewhat of a cruising legend. Best of luck with your dream man, stay focused and do the hard work to make it happen. I really hope it works out for you. Cheers, Craig   My sense of the Cascade is that they were an older, simpler, cruder design. While they seem to have a strong following, the couple that I have come across have been strangely 'customized' in ways that seemingly make little sense (big doghouses, and crude bowsprits). These were a decent design for thier day, but thier day was 40 plus years ago. A huge amount has been learned about designing seaworthy, seakindly, well mannered, designs in the period since. When I look at the design, they are a pretty typical mid-1960's early fin keel design. This was after all the design era that gave fin keel/spade rudders a bad name. In any event, a number of these have allegedly been used for distance voyaging. In my mind this is a poster child for the issue of whether a boat that has done a circumnavigation is a good choice for someone else looking to make a distance voyage. The answer is a resounding "not necessarily". In reality a very knowledgable, lucky, and skilled sailor can get by, voyaging all over the place, with a less than ideal boat. It has happened and continues to happen. But for us mere mortals, the decisions come down to how much risk are we willing to take. And at this point it is not all that cut and dry. Obviously, for some folks there are the bulletproof, go-anywhere cruisers out there. They are mostly too expensive and carry other big compromises that place them out of bounds for most folks. At the other end of the spectrum there are the 'go with what ya have' crowd. For most of us the answer is to find a solid mddle ground and I am not sure that a 30 plus year old boat from a forty year old design, mediocre coastal/racer-cruiser is close enough to a reasonable middle ground for someone aspiring to a circumnavigation with six people. Respectfully, Jeff   Cascade 36 available If anyone is still checking this thread perhaps you'd care to offer an opinion about purchasing this boat as a voyager. Your input will be appreciated.

Not the right boat for me, although on the good side, I'm 6-0" and had plenty of headroom. As I said, the boat was sold without an interior and although it's being improved upon by it's 3rd owner who is pretty handy with tools it will be a non-starter for me. Dang. Way too much work in and out.   It the pitfall of boats from that era.....I have been having similar experiences looking at shipwright fitted vs owner fitted vessels of a simialr vintage llately, and even with the cost difference the owner fitted vessels just don't cut it I find. I keep trying to tell myself it would be a nice project but I think you would basically have to commit to a complete interior refit and that is no small matter.   Can anyone suggest some good alternatives to a Cascade 36 to consider. Price is a big consideration. I'm looking for something blue water worthy with a fin keel.   Cal 34,36 or the Cal 40. Ericson 35-2, possibly some of the Columbia boats. A lot of these will be easier to find on the west coast.   Niagara 35 - the older, non-Encore interior is much better for offshore with four good sea berths.   The Niagara does have a balsa cored hull so that is certainly the first thing I would check. What is your budget and where are you located?   I think these are really neat boats... choey lee Boats For Sale   Mick: I have always had mixed feelings about Cheoy Lee. I think thier boats always look solid but I their details always drive me crazy. Back in the 1980's I did some of the drafting on the Cheoy Lee Wittholz 53. WITTHOLZ 53 (CHEOY LEE) Sailboat details on sailboatdata.com This lists the design date as 1980, but the work I was doing was in 1982-83 so it may have been that I was only doing a revision to the sail plan, keel-rudder and interior layout. The lines drawings were in progress before I worked for Charlie. Jeff   Must have been a revision, or they would've called her the Cheoy Lee Curmudgeon 53. lol...j/k lots of wood to maintian... and IIRC alot of the details as well as functional gear (winches) have that CL stamp, so if you wanna replace original stuff can be a PITA. I still think they do have a bit of a regal quality to them. nice work on the drafting board... for a Curmudgeon...   Funny you should mention this. I was seriously considering a Cheoy Lee Offshore 31 as a project boat but couldn't figure an economical way to transport it from Florida where it was floating to Massachusetts. Then I heard they are really pokey which made me concerned about making my coastal cruising and day sails a drag. I liked the looks and the wood, though this one had a fiberglass cabin top with wood details rather than the whole wood cabin top. I saw one for sale in Maine in decent shape for $13k which seemed reasonable for this solid a boat. Anyone taken one of these offshore?   The Ericson 35 MKII looks great. Nice interiors. Will check out the Cals wen I get a chance. Thanks.   For anyone searching old threads for info on cascades...Cascade 36s were not designed as coastal cruisers or racers as stated by jeff h they were designed and built for circumnavigations. THey were billed as the affordable circumnavihator by csascade.High strength features added that you will not see on other boats You will not find a faster stronger built boat in this price range. Downsides include shallow bilge and buried chainplates. Ports may be lower quality plastic. I sailed mine half way around the world. A forgiving boat that self steers like a dream. Interior layout can be a pitfall but you are getting a fast circumnavigator for peanuts. This is a bluewater boat through and through. These boats are for sailing far. As for the comment that some of these boats have been allegedly used for distance cruising, see jim moores books about sailing on swan. Cascades are cruising all over the place happily and cheaply. Weirdo additions included a garage type thing on the stern that is as ugly as it is damn useful for cruising. (He method of layup on the deck typically results in almost no deck issues .

Don't know if he'll contact you or not. Where are you? Since Cascades were built in Portland OR there are a bunch in that area. Rose City Yacht club has a few. That was the home port of Raindrop which won the Pacific Cup back a few years. I considered buying one as they are such a great deal. I think the value is hit hard by the fact that many were not finished very well below decks as they were kind of a "kit" boat. But I've seen some that are really very nice. Having made my sea bones on one leaves a special place in my heart. Also there is a premium boat works guy in the Portland area that has done mods on many Cascades, like extending the transom and dog houses. Tommy Becker. He does fantastic work.   Thank you! I am located in Michigan the Tawas area i have recently purchased the boat from New Hampshire. The inside is amazing mahogany wood that is finished as beautiful as you can imagine. I will post some pictures on here. I am so great full that you have helped me find the right people Thank you so much!   I have a 1980 Cascade 36. It is a fine ocean boat. We have won many offshore races. I moved the shrouds from the toe rail to the cabin to get a tighter jib sheet angle, so the boat points better. It is strong, dry and comfortable, a very strong boat.   ?             176.2K members Top Contributors this Month 337 IMAGES 1972 Cascade 29 Sail New and Used Boats for Sale Cascade 29 yacht SOLD 1970 Cascade 29 sailboat for sale in Wisconsin 1975 Cascade 29 Cruiser for sale 29' Cascade sailboat for Sale in Tacoma, WA 1973 Cascade 29 Sail Boat For Sale VIDEO Project Seahorse: E13 Return of the Centerboard Sailboat In Seneca Lake #sailboat #sailboats #water #fingerlakes #Rescue, towing op by #inflatable #speedboat of small children shipwrecked on "Optimist" #sailboat Moving Aboard Our Sailboat Zephyr Sealine SC47 from Motor Boat & Yachting Cascade 29: How the website works COMMENTS Thoughts on this Cascade 29 Posts: 93.
