The King’s Cruiser 29 represents a significant milestone in the evolution of European production yachting, merging the artistic eye of legendary Swedish designer Pelle Petterson with the industrial precision of the Finnish conglomerate Fiskars. Introduced in the late 1960s and produced through the mid1970s, the King’s Cruiser 29 was a pioneer of the fiberglass revolution, designed to replace the maintainenceheavy wooden cruisers of the era with a vessel that was equally seakindly but far more durable. While the Fiskars name is often associated today with consumer goods, this 29footer reflects the period when the company’s Inha Works division was a dominant force in highquality marine construction, producing nearly 300 hulls of this specific model. The boat is characterized by its elegant, narrow beam and a "sweet" shear line that has allowed it to age with a grace many of its contemporary "fat" cruisers lack.
