That stability graph definitely shows the 29-2 as tender. However I could wash the windows on the 25-2 if I had a mind to. I also owned a 33-1 which, when we were racing, would have the person responsible for helping the genoa around when tacking, ankle deep in water if the wind was up and they were slow in getting off the low side. I don't see the 33-1 on the chart.
I'm reluctant to argue with a proven methodology, but I find the 29-2 to be both stiff and forgiving compared to the other 2. To me the 29-2 heels to a certain point where the rail is still not buried and then says you really should do something with the main and if you don't it will start to round up rather than continue to heel. Is it possible that this behaviour is due to the hull shape and this is not captured in the stability test which is static. If so that could explain why the boat is rated as tender, but will only heel to a certain point in real world conditions.

It would only happen when the sailing hard to weather with the rail buried. If I were going to tighten the hull/deck joint screws I'd start with those closest to the chainplates. This is not an issue with the 29-2 as it is a very stiff boat and doesn't appear possible to bury the rail. Martin C&C 29-2 Recalculating
