The Lancer 293, also known as the Lancer 29 Mark III, represents a departure from the typical motorsailer identity of the Lancer Yacht Corporation. Introduced in 1977 and produced until 1981, this 29foot sloop was built using the refined molds of the C&C 30, a lineage that immediately distinguished it from the trailerable, narrowbeam boats Lancer was primarily known for at the time. Unlike its predecessor, the Lancer 28, which was limited to an 8foot beam for road transport, the 293 boasts a substantial 10foot beam, offering the stability and volume of a true coastal cruiser. In 1982, the model was essentially rebranded as the Lancer 30, though the Mark III remains the definitive iteration of this specific hull form under the 29foot designation.
