The boat has a draft of {{convert|5.25|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel and is normally fitted with an outboard motor for cruising, docking and maneuvering.

Operational history

In a review Bruce McArthur wrote, "like the other Lancer PS models, these boats were more of a hybrid power-sailboat than a sailing auxiliary or motorsailer and can accept large outboard motors. The Lancer 29 PS was not built in great numbers."
