The Van de Stadt 29, frequently referred to in design circles as the Sea Dog (Design #267), is a robust Dutch-designed cruiser that embodies the transition between traditional heavy-displacement philosophy and modern performance-oriented hull shapes. Designed by the prolific E.G. van de Stadt, this model was offered both as a production boat—most notably with GRP hulls molded by the Tyler Boat Company in the late 1960s—and as a set of plans for amateur and custom construction in steel or aluminum beginning in 1978. Its reputation is built on a foundation of "sea-kindliness," making it a favorite for coastal passages and occasional cross-channel jumps.
