Divine 29

A unique blend of old and new, the DiVine 29 makes good on its claim of being a boat with a difference. David Lockwood has the story

THE HARD YARDSDAY COMFORTSJET SET WILLYHIGHS

Chic looks that will turn heads on the water and ashore.
A hand-built hull that feels stiff.
Commuter comforts and driver thrills - a ride designed to please everyone.
Jet power means you can traverse skinny waterways, and there aren't props to hurt people on watertoys.
A neat accessory for the waterfront homeowner.

LOWS

No self-draining cockpit, no windlass and no accommodation for those rare occasions when you overindulge at dinner.
Jet drive will take some getting used to when parking.
Boat idles forward out of gear.
Maintenance on the timber trim. Limited market for resale.
Premium pricetag for a dayboat.
