The Ohlson 29 is a quintessential Scandinavian cruiserracer from the 1970s, designed by the prolific Einar Ohlson and primarily manufactured by Artekno OY in Finland. Representing a bridge between the classic, narrowentry aesthetics of midcentury wooden yachts and the robust fiberglass engineering of the modern era, the Ohlson 29 is widely regarded for its seaworthiness and elegant, balanced lines. Unlike many of its contemporaries that began favoring beamier, flatter hulls to maximize interior volume, the Ohlson 29 retains a relatively narrow profile and a deepV entry, prioritizing performance in a seaway over dockside living space. This design philosophy reflects the Swedish designer’s background in developing successful 5.5metre and International 5.0metre racers, lending the boat a pedigree of speed and efficiency that remains respected by coastal cruisers today.
