The Cascade 29 stands as a cornerstone of the Pacific Northwest’s boatbuilding legacy, representing a pivotal era when fiberglass construction transitioned from experimental to legendary. Designed by Robert A. Smith in 1961 for Yacht Constructors, Inc., the model was engineered with a specific emphasis on seaworthiness and structural integrity. Unlike the lighter, massproduced designs that would follow in later decades, the Cascade 29 was built using a meticulous handlaidup process that prioritized a high glasstoresin ratio, resulting in a hull that is famously robust. With approximately 360 units produced, it remains the most prolific design from the Portlandbased yard, serving as both a competitive club racer in its heyday and a reliable offshore cruiser for those seeking a "pocket" bluewater vessel.
