SEFA is a beautifully maintained and extensively refit 1976 Vineyard Vixen 29, one of the finest examples of this classic L. Francis Herreshoff-inspired design currently available. Built by Marthas Vineyard Shipyard, the Vineyard Vixen is known for timeless lines, elegant craftsmanship, and excellent sailing manners, blending classic aesthetics with capable coastal cruising performance. This particular vessel underwent a near-complete professional refit in 20172018, including a new engine, updated rigging, electronics, sails, wiring, deck refinishing, exterior woodwork, and numerous mechanical and cosmetic upgrades. The result is a yacht that offers classic charm without the usual restoration burden. The appraisal notes the vessel as being in Above Average Condition throughout, with constant care and professional maintenance. Below deck, SEFA features a warm Herreshoff-style interior with teak joinery, teak and holly sole, opening bronze ports, and accommodations for up to four. The layout includes a forward V-berth, enclosed head, main salon with opposing settee berths, fold-down dining table, and compact galley with alcohol stove, icebox, and stainless sink. A Dickinson solid-fuel stove adds comfort for shoulder-season cruising. On deck, the spacious cockpit provides comfortable seating, tiller steering, updated electronics, generous sail lockers, and wide side decks for safe movement underway. Her traditional double-ended profile, bronze details, teak trim, and refined proportions make her a standout at any mooring or anchorage. SEFA is ideal for a sailor seeking a distinctive classic daysailer/weekender with modernized systems and turn-key readiness. |
