It has a masthead sloop rig, a slightly spooned raked stem, a raised transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed long keel, cutaway forward.
[1] The boat's galley is located on the starboard side of the cabin, at the bottom of the companionway steps.
Additional sleeping space is provided in the cabin, by the dinette settee, which has a fixed table and a single berth to starboard.
[3] The boat has genoa and jib tracks and four cockpit winches, plus bronze cleats and blocks.
Like the older Alberg 30, this boat has a full keel and places a high priority on seaworthiness.
Despite its full keel design, owners report that when the wind picks up, the Alberg 29 can point quite high and has a good turn of speed.
