It's a '77, so a Mark I, first year of the 29 according to sailboatdata.com. The Mark II came out in '83. This particular boat has a longer carbon fiber rudder, possibly to match the Mark II design.
Not sure of the other differences, or why the 29 seems to be a bit of black sheep among C&Cs. Is it because of its 1/2ton IOR heritage?
