David Sadler (13 February 1921 – 5 March 2014) was a British yacht designer who was responsible for a number of classic production yachts during the period from 1960 to 1980. His designs include the Contessa 26, the Contessa 32, the Sadler 25, the Sadler 29 and the Sadler 32.[1][2] The Contessa 32 is his most successful design, with over 750 built. Just before or around the same time as the Sadler 29 Paul Elvstrom designed the Nordic Family Boat (NF). It looks like a Sadler 29 from any angle. Almost identical great little boats. It's just a bit lighter.
