Coulam V29 Beach Lander, LANDING PARTY

Broker’s Comments

What an exceptionally versatile machine! Introducing the Coulam V29 Beach Lander – LANDING PARTY.

Nothing beats a landing craft for disembarking your troops, vehicles, and equipment on your chosen beach – although this one is certainly not painted in drab olive, and has a far more benign intent…

Designed by Andrew Wolstenholme with a fast, low-draft medium V-profiled hull, the Beach Lander can do it all. If you wish to carry your quad bike to your island, there is no mucking about. Drop that 1.75-meter-wide bow door down, and you have a proper James Bond-style loading ramp. If you want to take ten friends fishing for the weekend (and who does not want to do that?), load up your kit, file into the wheelhouse, and set off. Maybe you just fancy hitting the beach on a balmy summer’s evening – then load up the forward deck with your favourite portable outdoor kitchen, sling some chairs in (and maybe an event shelter for our somewhat changeable weather), and nose up to your favourite haunts. Trim up the two upgrade 350HP Suzukis, (which deliver a useful 50 knots) drop the bow door, and casually saunter ashore – how utterly fab.

The beamy flare of the forward sections translates into a very stable platform at rest, and underway she is capable of proper fast operation, with excellent protection for passengers or crew – both on deck and in her two-seater centre console. Her high side bulwarks are topped by substantial guardrails, and her massive lay-up is exhibited in the chunky moldings that support her hull topsides.

With sister ships in operation in every conceivable usage from sailing schools to highly adaptable super-yacht tenders, the Beach Lander is hyper-versatile. She is also built like the proverbial and very well-conceived and thought-out. With C-categorization for 10 persons on board, a massive heads compartment (with light and a proper marine WC), a galley wet-bar to her aft cockpit and a complete electronics package to include radar and a superb sonar – she is a veritable chameleon.

Just add water!

Owner’s Comments

As Owner I can’t add much to the colourful brokers comments above other than to say she really is a top spec, very comfortable family day boat which also happens to have a useful front landing ramp.

She actually has wheelchair ramp extensions too so great if that’s what you need. Ultra stable, great sea boat and fantastic performance. Do have a careful read of the specification as there are some hidden gems such as the Air Suspension seats. ££€$ extras!!
