Design
The Seidelmann 299 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal draft keel. The fin keel version displaces 8,000 lb (3,629 kg) and carries 3,600 lb (1,633 kg) of ballast, while the shoal draft version displaces 8,800 lb (3,992 kg) and carries 2,600 lb (1,179 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 5.42 ft (1.65 m) with the standard keel and 4.18 ft (1.27 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 30 U.S. gallons (110 L; 25 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a quarter berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is "L"-shaped and is equipped with a stove, icebox and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.57 kn (12.17 km/h).[2]
