Dear Readers
C&C 29
Produced in two decidedly different versions, this boat sold well behind the c&c name. the original mk i design was a good light-air boat, but was a handful in heavy air..
The story of C&C Yachts is a boating industry epic. The company was founded when designers George Cuthbertson and George Cassian got together with three boatbuilders in 1969 to capitalize on their joint racing success (Red Jacket, a C&C design built by Erich Bruckman and the first balsa-cored racer ever, won the 1968 SORC). Ian Morch and George Hinterhoeller were the other originals. Few sailboat manufacturers have ever achieved such dominance.
Focusing on the racer/cruiser ideal, a reputation for fairly sophisticated construction, and continued race course success (their Redline 41 Sorcery was the last production SORC winner until the late ’80s), the Canadian aggregation grew to own manufacturing plants in three countries and an estimated 20 percent of the US sailboat market. Along the way it offered up a flotilla of well-accepted dual- purpose designs (plus one or two “anomalies” like the ugly-duckling Mega 30) and brought corporate purpose and polish to the “cottage industry” of producing sailboats.
However, recession in the ’80s, competition from a used-boat market (very much of its own making), unfavorable currency fluctuations, and finally a hostile takeover which removed Cuthbertson, last of the founding principals, sent the giant on a downward spiral. Through ownership changes and even receiverships the name (and curtailed production) limped on. Then a fire in 1994 destroyed 40 molds and three near-complete 51-footers. Finally Fairport Marine, the parent company for Tartan Yachts, bought “the name and a few molds” in 1997. Says Tim Jackett, chief designer and general manager at Tartan, “It was an opportunity to take advantage of C&C’s reputation for performance.” He has since introduced two new C&C boats of his own design. “We’re excited that we’re going to have a separate start for a fleet of our C&C Express 99s at Key West this winter,” Jackett reports. (For a review of the new C&C 99, see Practical Sailor’s June 2003 issue.)
From beginning to end (with the exception of its “pure cruising” Landfall series) C&C put racing potential first. That led to hull forms colored by various rating rules, but it has also meant boats with healthy sail area for their displacements; weight-conscious construction; efficient, controllable rigs, and optimized hydrodynamics. Some, like the 30, 35, the 40, and the most-popular C&C 27 (over 1,000 built) have become “classics” and remained remarkably competitive. Others, the C&C 29 among them, were less popular.
The problem with the 29 may have stemmed from difficulty of replacing winners like the 27 and 30, or from being a “transition” between the CCA archetype and the IOR hull form, or from her departure from the “all-round boat” performance model. Whatever the causes, however, they led to a Mark II version that was, in reality, an entirely different boat. The original 29, introduced in 1976, was 29′ 7″ overall. The new boat, launched in 1983, was over a foot shorter. This wasn’t the result of a chopped transom or a plugged mold: The MK II version was narrower (by 11″), lighter (by 800 lbs.) and carried considerably less sail. Thus, while used boat listings will all say “C&C 29”, the distinction between MK I and MK II is much more important in this case than with most other manufacturers and models.
Design The MK I version of the 29 grew out of a management directive to “make our little boats more cost-effective to build.” The resulting 29 was a lighter (by 500 lbs.) and cheaper (700 lbs. less ballast) alternative to the 30. Says Hank Evans, one-time C&C sales manager, “The thinking was to take some of the volume out of the underbody and put it in the topsides, thus reducing wetted surface… This volume was placed above the waterline in rather extreme topside flare. This produced a beamy and roomy interior above the waterline where the space was used for living and storage.”
The “rather extreme” topside flare noted by Mr. Evans is now fairly commonplace.
The new boat was virtually as “liveable” as the 30 that she was meant to replace. However, Evans remembers, the 29’s hull shape “produced a boat that was ‘tender’ at the dock and initially under sail. As the boat heeled the flare became immersed and the boat stiffened markedly. It is actually hard to get the windows of the MK I wet. Unfortunately, as the boat heeled and immersed all that topside flare, the unwanted drag not only slowed her down, it tended to push the bow to windward. That, combined with the rudder becoming less effective (even coming out of the water at times) at greater angles of heel, caused unintentional and undesired round-ups.”
Evans says that the original 29 was one of Cuthbertson’s least favorite designs. “While the 29 was a great success (over 600 sold) with many one- design fleets, and is a pretty good-looking boat, it left a lot to be desired from a design standpoint. It was very fast and nicely balanced in light and moderate air, but the only way to sail her in a breeze is to ease the traveler all the way down and carry the main almost fully aback. Racer/cruisers are not generally intended to be sailed like dinghies.”
A common modification to the MK I 29, especially in heavy-wind areas like San Francisco Bay, is a C&C-designed, 500-pound “shoe,” permanently affixed to her original keel.
“The 29 MK II is a totally different boat,” says Evans. “The two boats have nothing in common but their names.”
The MK II version relies more on ballast than shape when it comes to stability. Though her lead fin weighs the same 2,700 lbs. as her predecessor’s, it’s thicker, straighter, and attached to a deeper stub. In addition to a ballast/displacement ratio improved from 36 to 40 percent, the new boat thus has a decidedly lower center of gravity. Though she is narrower (9′ 5″ beam vs. 10′ 4″) the MK II offers effective form stability due to relatively hard bilges that are carried well fore and aft of her midpoint. U-shaped sections in her forefoot, smooth waterlines, and a “skeg/bustle” leading into the rudder also give her an underbody that helps to smooth out the “crankiness” that characterized the MK I’s performance in a breeze.
Some of the other differences reflect racer/cruiser evolution over the decade separating their design. The MK II has a larger mainsail which, says chief designer Rob Ball, “makes her more effective in puffy conditions.” Her keel is a retreat from the shark-fin profile evident in the MK I, toward a higher-aspect/more vertical planform. Ball explains: “The theory is that you can keep cutting drag by sweeping the keel aft without affecting lift that much. The tank said the shark fin was the way to go. Our boats have always done well off the wind and in light air, but when the ‘Peterson-style’ (vertical trailing edge) foils came along, they proved very fast upwind in a breeze. We moved in that direction to stay competitive, but we did it before we explored the swept-back keel as much as we wanted. Still, there’s no doubting that you can make a straight-edged keel thicker and thus have room for more ballast.”
The MK II’s rudder is also deeper and has a higher aspect ratio than the less effective blade on the first 29.
C & C yachts have been distinguished by a sharp, aggressive, and functional aesthetic from the outset. The two 29s are good examples of the “look of speed” that was a C & C hallmark. But there are subtle differences: With a longer bow overhang, boxier transom, and “scattered” window treatment, the first 29 clearly dates from an earlier time. With a curvier sheer and higher bow, a jaunty counter, and house windows streamlined for effect, the MK II looks much more modern.
Construction Both C&C 29s were built of solid fiberglass with balsa-cored decks. Part of C&C’s pioneering (in addition to balsa coring) was in the use of fiberglass “pans” or structural grids built into the boat to both locate furniture and help distribute working loads. Says Rob Ball, “We’ve used many different forms of grid. We began with a combination of fiberglass with wooden furniture, went more toward an all-glass structure, went back to wood due to market pressure, and finally arrived at inserting the grid and taping and foaming it in place while the hull is still in the mold. Grids, in any case, demand a lot of precision in both molding and assembly.”
The two 29s have very similar grid systems. They extend above the waterline to seat level. Additional furniture is built in and bulkheads are taped and tabbed in place. These bonds, though they may be hidden behind furniture or beneath a headliner, are critical. Checking them should be a first priority with any used boat survey. One owner of a 1979 boat, in fact, reported separation between his hull and the bulkhead supporting a chainplate.
Over the years, laminates have gotten thinner as builders have come to trust more in the properties of their materials. Still, in 1982 the MK II exemplified the sort of robust lay-up that could make interior reinforcing grids seem almost irrelevant: Behind the gelcoat are two 1.5-oz. layers of chopped matt. That is backed by Fabmat, a bi-axial blend of 1.8- and 1.0-oz. matt. Over the “impact area” of the forward third of the boat are arrayed 4-mm plies of Coremat. Additional 1.5- oz plies and another layer of Fabmat are added in the way of the keel, and further layers of Fabmat are used to counteract local loads. Enough MK I owners reported blistering to suggest that it was a significant problem with the older boat, though none reported the pox as catastrophic. A single owner reported “just a few” blisters with the MK II.
Decks on both boats were also built in much the same way. They were cored with 1/2″ end-grain balsa. In areas where hardware is attached, the coring was 1/2″ plywood. A flange of solid glass 6″ wide encircles the deck molding and facilitates the hull/deck attachment. That is done by placing the deck on an inward-turning flange of the hull, sealing the joint and inserting a vinyl rubrail, then bolting the two parts together through a full-length slotted aluminum toerail—another C&C hallmark.
A problem with the MK I has been the mast step. It’s a wooden block, and many owners report having to replace it due to rot.
C&C glasswork has generally been rated above average, but owners of both models have registered complaints about gelcoat crazing and small cracks on the cockpit sole and in the area of winches.
Accommodations Though they have been cruised widely, neither 29 approaches “liveaboard” standards of comfort. The MK I layout is straightforward—a quarterberth and nav station to port, galley to starboard, saloon amidships, a full-width head, and a forecabin that, according to one owner, is “somewhat cave-like.”
Most owners find their boats ideal for a couple and say that space becomes more of a problem with each additional shipmate. Recognizing the limits of a boat under 30 feet and one designed primarily for racing, the majority of early 29 sailors say things like, “We love our boats and cruising in them.”
Still, there are various specific complaints: “The table’s in the way.” “The guy who designed the head door obviously never had to use it.” “What the hell do you need the sink forward for?” “The berths are too short and the overhead is too low.” “There’s no hanging locker.” “The ports leak.” “The deck leaks.” “She needs more tankage.”
The shorter, narrower MK II has no nav station (though a clever swing- down cutting board might be a suitable substitute). The galley is cramped by the companionway stairs, but a bulkhead table opens up the saloon, and there is a hanging locker.) Ventilation (via an overhead port just aft of the mast) is improved, too. Siting the forehatch in the forward slope of the house also improves airflow.
The early 29s were powered by Atomic-4 gasoline engines. The switch to diesel came well into the MK I’s production run. Even using the tidy Yanmar 2 GM, space in the engine compartment is tight and access inconvenient on both boats. While sound insulation appears adequate one owner calls his engine a “clunking, vibrating annoyance, to be used as little as possible.”
The combination of a balanced spade rudder, fin keel, and standard two-bladed prop gets poor reviews for backing with control, and several owners complained that similar-sized auxiliaries were “much faster than we are under power.”
Conclusions In summing up his feelings for his 29 (MK I) Hank Evans says, “Quality and design pay over time.” That’s a catchy mantra, and many owners indeed report that their ancient 29s are “faster, better-looking, and more admired” than more modern competitors.
It’s certainly true that, amidst a host of very similar-looking boats churned out by many builders during the high-volume production years of a couple of decades ago, both the MKI and MK II versions of the C&C 29 stood out from the crowd. They didn’t, in our opinion, stand out entirely on their own design merits, but partially because of the reputation established and trails blazed by the C&C company. Even after all these years, that name commands respect—Tim Jackett and his fellows at Fairport/Tartan were wise to acquire it.
Between the two different versions, more than 1,000 C&C 29s were sold. That’s a success story for any production sailboat.
At press-time, there are 31 listed at www.yachtworld.com, in both versions, by brokers countrywide. Asking prices vary widely, between about $15,000 and $30,000. There doesn’t seem to be a strong correlation between version and price, or even engine type, although listings show several boats that have been converted from the Atomic-4 to Yanmar or Universal diesels.

Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Northern 29
A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 16.5 suggests that the Northern 29 will approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors.
A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 51.8 means that she'll stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.
A Displacement/Length Ratio of 337 , tells us she's clearly a heavy displacement cruising boat. You can load her down with all your cruising gear and equipment and it will hardly affect her waterline.
Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 25.5 suggests that crew comfort in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not encouraging news for anyone prone to seasickness.
Her Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.9 tells us that she would be a safer choice of sailboat for offshore sailing than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
The Northern 29: A Classic Coastal Cruiser
The Northern 29 is a monohull sailboat with a fin keel and a skeg-hung rudder. It has a fiberglass hull and deck, with a lead ballast. The mast is keel-stepped and the rig is simple and efficient, with a single spreader and a backstay. The sail area is 35.9 m², which gives the boat a sail area/displacement ratio of 16.5. This means that the boat is moderately powered and can handle a variety of wind conditions.
The Northern 29 has a displacement of 3,289 kg and a ballast/displacement ratio of 51.7%. This means that the boat is heavy and stiff, with a good righting moment if heeled or capsized. The boat has a comfort ratio of 25.3, which indicates that it is suitable for coastal cruising and can handle moderate seas. The boat has a capsize screening of 1.9, which means that it has a low risk of capsizing in bad weather.
The Northern 29 has a waterline length of 6.5 m and a beam of 2.7 m. It has a draft of 1.4 m, which allows it to access shallow waters and anchorages. The boat has an air draft of 12.8 m, which means that it can pass under most bridges and power lines.
The Northern 29 has an auxiliary engine, which is usually a Universal Atomic 4 gas engine with 30 HP. The fuel capacity is 38 l, which gives the boat a limited range under power. The water capacity is 57 litres, which also limits the duration of cruising without refilling.
Accommodation The Northern 29 has a spacious and cozy interior, with enough room for four to six people to sleep comfortably. The layout consists of:
- A V-berth in the forward cabin, with storage lockers and shelves;
- A head compartment to port, with a marine toilet and a sink;
- A hanging locker to starboard, opposite the head;
- A main saloon with two settees that can convert into berths, and a folding table in the center;
- A galley to port, with a two-burner stove, an icebox and a sink;
- A navigation station to starboard, with a chart table and an electrical panel;
- A quarter berth aft of the navigation station, which can also be used as storage.
The interior has plenty of natural light and ventilation, thanks to the large windows and hatches. The headroom is about 1.8 m, which is adequate for most people. The cabinetry and trim are made of teak wood, which adds warmth and elegance to the atmosphere.
Hull and Deck The hull and deck of the Northern 29 are made of fiberglass, with balsa core in some areas for stiffness and insulation. The hull shape is round-bottomed, with a moderate freeboard and overhangs. The deck is flat and wide, with non-skid surface and teak toe rails. The cockpit is aft, with a tiller steering system and an engine control panel. The cockpit seats are long and comfortable, with storage lockers underneath.
The deck hardware is simple and functional, with stainless steel fittings and cleats. The bow has an anchor locker and a bow roller for easy anchoring. The stern has a boarding ladder for easy access to the water.
Mast and Rigging The mast and rigging of the Northern 29 are designed for performance and ease of handling. The mast is made of aluminum alloy, with a single spreader and a backstay. The mast is keel-stepped, which adds strength and stability to the rig. The boom is also made of aluminum alloy, with an internal reefing system.
The sail plan consists of a mainsail and a genoa, which are controlled by winches and tracks on the deck. The sails are made of dacron, with reinforced corners and battens. The boat also has a spinnaker, which can be flown from a spinnaker pole on the mast.
The rigging is made of stainless steel wire, with swaged terminals and turnbuckles. The rigging is simple and efficient, with a forestay, a backstay, two upper shrouds, two lower shrouds and two intermediate shrouds. The rigging is adjustable, with a backstay tensioner and a babystay.
Keel and Rudder The keel and rudder of the Northern 29 are designed for stability and maneuverability. The keel is a fin keel, with a lead ballast. The keel has a moderate aspect ratio, which means that it is not too deep or too shallow. The keel provides lift and reduces leeway when sailing upwind.
The rudder is a skeg-hung rudder, which means that it is attached to a skeg that extends from the hull. The rudder has a balanced shape, which means that it has some area forward of the rudder post. The rudder provides good steering control and reduces weather helm when sailing on the wind.

US 29 is a 29 ′ 5 ″ / 9 m monohull sailboat designed by Douglas Peterson (unauthorized) and built by Bayliner (Buccaneer/US Yachts) starting in 1977. Rig and SailsAuxilary power, accomodations, calculations. The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement RatioA measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3 - SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement RatioA measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length RatioA measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort RatioThis ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 ) - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening FormulaThis formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more. CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64) A slightly modified and later version of the BUCCANEER 295 (hull design originally derived from the PETERSON 30 1/2 TON/CHASER 29??). US Yachts was owned by Bayliner. Later the molds were sold to Pearson Yachts were it became (for a very short time) the TRITON 30. Embed this page on your own website by copying and pasting this code.

Stephen and Margaret R.I.P Alan Nye Scott · Jul 15, 2012It is my unhappy task to relay to you an email I received today from Steve Davies: On July 13th Alan Nye Scott, builder of our wonderful boat, passed away as a result of injuries sustained in an accident in his vehicle at a railway crossing in Belleville. I’m told he was 87 years of age. I was not a close friend of Alan, but I would see him now and then not only around “sailing circles”, but sometimes just bump in to him at Canadian Tire on a saturday morning. He was always friendly and asking about “the vessel” and how things were going making sure I was keeping her in shape. He actually contacted me recently when he saw an issue with some rudder / keel repairs that I was working on. He kindly offered advice and it was a great help. I’m sure judging by his friendly nature and all the wonderful sailing associations he had that he lived a rich life full of wonderful family and friends. He leaves behind a great legacy of all the fantastic boats that he built. He had recently acquired a 29 of his own and was making plans to whip her into shape and to his liking and enjoy some sailing. Sadly that didn’t happen for him, but he was doing what he loved right up to the end… I heard him say once in conversation something to the effect of “I just can’t seem to stay away from messing about with boats” Steve Davies Restless V , Alberg 29 Hull #1 In addition to being the man responsible for commissioning the Alberg 29 (and very rare Alberg 34), Alan Nye Scott was president of J.J Taylor, the company responsible for all the Canadian-made Contessa 26s and Contessa 32s. The Contessa family, the Alberg family, and the sailing world at large has lost a legend.

Alberg 29 Specifications | LOA: | 29’3” | | LWL: | 22’3” | | Beam: | 9’2” | | Draft: | 4’6” | | Sail area: | 416 sq. ft. | | Displacement: | 9000lbs. | | Keel: | 4000lbs. | | Motor: | 15 hp diesel | | PHRF Rating: | 222 | | Hull Speed: | 6.32 knots | | Builder: | Nye Yachts | What is an Alberg 29?The full keel traditional line of Carl Alberg’s designs have long commanded the respect of the yachting world. Their shorter waterline and long counter add speed in both light and heavy air. The fair hull shape and full keel (not long keel) provide a tracking ability and comfort in a seaway which few other designs can match. What then, is the difference between the Alberg 29 and other designs by the same architect? She is a more modern hull with increased stiffness resulting from firmer bilges, increased beam and the fact that her fullness is further aft. In addition, a deeper draft and wider keel lowering the center of ballast (lead) by several inches along with a higher ballast-displacement ratio, add to her stability. The bows are finer than other designs and the keel more cut away, reducing wetting surface. A higher aspect mastead-rig and larger foretriangle result in better balance, less weather helm and more efficient windward performance. Her stiffness results in an ability to carry more sail. A beamier hull provides comfort. The galley is laid out for safety in heavy seas or while racing, and the quarter berth navigation table is new to Alberg production boats. The craftmanship and attention to quality are unsurpassed. There is a difference in “full keel” yachts and even between similar Alberg designs. For the cruising yachtsman, there is no reason to sacrifice speed, performance and club racing for the comfort and safety of a sea-going vessel. (From the 1980 Nye Yachts Alberg 29 brochure.)

Maine's Cole Brauer becomes first American woman to race sailboat alone and nonstop around worldThe 29-year-old boothbay resident and new york native was one of more than a dozen sailors competing in the global solo challenge, published march 8, 2024 • updated on march 8, 2024 at 10:33 am. Alone, Cole Brauer braved three oceans and the elements as she navigated her sailboat for months. When she and her 40-foot sailboat arrived Thursday in A Coruna, Spain, the 29-year-old Boothbay, Maine, resident and New York native became the first American woman to race nonstop around the world by herself, traveling across about 30,000 miles. Brauer, all 5-foot-2 and 100 pounds of her, is one of more than a dozen sailors competing in the Global Solo Challenge. Brauer was the youngest and only woman in the group that set sail in October from A Coruna. The starts were staggered. Brauer took off Oct. 29. As of Thursday, some in the field had dropped out of the race. The race took Brauer south along the west coast of Africa, around the Cape of Good Hope and then eastward toward Australia. From there, she continued east where Brauer faced the unpredictable, treacherous and deadly Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America before continuing northeast across the Atlantic Ocean toward Spain. The race took her 130 days to complete. “This is really cool and so overwhelming in every sense of the word,” NBC News reported Brauer saying before drinking Champagne from her trophy Thursday while being celebrated by family and fans. While Brauer is the first American woman to circumnavigate the globe alone by sea, she is not first woman to do so. Polish sailor Krystina Chojnowska-Liskiewicz finished her 401-day voyage around the globe on April 21, 1978, according to online sailing sites . Kay Cottee of Australia was the first woman to achieve the feat nonstop, sailing off from Sydney Harbor in Australia in November 1987 and returning 189 days later. The global voyage is not an easy one, even on a vessel with a full crew. “Solo sailors, you have to be able to do everything,” Brauer told the NBC “Today” show Thursday. “You need to be able to take care of yourself. You need to be able to get up, even when you’re so exhausted. And you have to be able to fix everything on the boat.” Satellite communications allowed Brauer to stay in touch with her racing team and connect with fans on social media, where she posted videos from the race and her boat, “First Light.” Along the way she encountered 30-foot waves that tossed her about the boat, according to NBC News. She injured a rib and even gave herself an IV to fend off dehydration. Sailing solo means not just being a skipper but a project manager, said Marco Nannini, the race’s organizer. That means steering the vessel, making repairs, knowing the weather and keeping yourself healthy, he said. “The biggest asset is your mental strength, not the physical one,” Nannini said. “Cole is showing everyone that.” One of Brauer’s social media posts from Dec. 8 showed her frustration. “I haven’t really had the bandwidth to get into everything that’s been going on the past 48 hours, but the short version is the autopilot has been acting up again and I needed to replace some parts and do a rudder recalibration,” she wrote. “For once the light air is actually helping, but it’s been exhausting, and I’m sore and tired.” “It’s all part of the journey, and I’m sure I’ll be feeling better once the work is done and I’ve gotten some sleep,” Brauer added. “But right now things are tough.” But she’s handled the tough, even though some in the sport believed it wouldn’t be possible due to her gender and small frame. “I push so much harder when someone’s like, ‘no, you can’t do that,’ or ‘you’re too small,’” Brauer said. “It would be amazing if there was just one other girl that saw me and said ‘Oh, I can do that, too,’” she added.
