2009 Back Cove 29′

Be Well II

The Back Cove 29 is notable in that she was the first of what soon became a series of Back Cove models produced in recent years by Sabre Yachts. With her Down East lines and single diesel power, the Back Cove 29 combined beauty and simplicity at a price competitive with similar Down East boats her size from other manufacturers. Built on a modified-V with Divinycell coring and a prop pocket to reduce the shaft angle, her modest 2-foot 6-inch draft allows the 29 to operate in unusually shallow water. At the semi-enclosed helm, sliding side windows and an opening center windshield section provide ventilation on hot days. Storage boxes are beneath both helm chairs, and an L-lounge to port on the bridge deck seats three. Note that a center hatch in the bridge deck Lifts at the touch of a switch for easy engine access.

Below, the Back Cove’s well-appointed cabin is accented with cherry cabinets, ash ceiling strips, and a teak-and-holly sole. The galley is to port, head to starboard, and the V-berth is forward—practical accommodations indeed for two adults. Wide side decks are a plus, and so are the sturdy bow rails. The BE WELL II has both bow & stern thrusters for ease of docking. Cruise efficiently at 20 knots with top speeds 26–27 with the single Yanmar 315hp diesel inboard.
