TRUE NORTH is a well cared for single owner Tiara 2900 Open, featuring a hardtop with full enclosure for climate control and protection from the elements. She's powered with twin Crusader gas engines and her 11'4" beam provides extraordinary stability. Her comfortable and well-built accommodations afford plenty of room for fishing, entertaining aboard and extended cruising.
The Tiara 29 has a good balance between deck and saloon space, the resulting layout is a hardtop covered wheelhouse area with a raised L-shape lounge across from the twin-seated helm. Behind this is a step-down cockpit serviced by an aft facing lounge, wide combings and a tilt down bench seat along the transom. There is a wide, solid and well hung inward opening transom door with overbuilt stainless steel latches and hinges that typify the excellent overall build quality of the Tiara.
The walkways forward are generous and the flared bow rail extends aft to provide plenty of grab holds when moving about. At the bow, there are solid stainless steel cleats, a windlass and a stainless steel lined pulpit for the anchor. The helm is equipped with a range of instruments covering oil pressure, fuel, temp, volts, tach and a compass. Helm seating is comfortable, spacious and provides good visibility, and the helm deck lifts up to provide rear access to the engines and mechanical space below.
The layout has the head located just outboard and to port of the companionway stairs. This reserves the rest of the saloon as open to the galley, forward berth and a Starboard Ultra Leather settee. Aft of the forward facing settee is additional bulk storage space.
At the foremost bulkhead below is a mirror, doubling natural light and making the living quarters appear larger. There are comfortable upholstered bolsters along the forward berth sides. This double berth is expanded easily with a small flip-up insert. Between the berth and galley is a deep, cedar-lined, hanging locker.
The galley has ample counter space and features a single burner electric cook top, fridge, single basin stainless steel sink, microwave, drawer storage below and ample storage in sliders outboard. Other features include the shore powered air-conditioning and a Clarion sound system. Natural light comes from portholes and deck hatches and night lighting is mostly mounted overhead.
