About the Allmand 35 Pilot House

Built during the early 1980s by Allmand Boats Inc., this distinctive cutter-rigged cruiser represents a thoughtful approach to coastal and offshore sailing. The pilot house configuration provides exceptional weather protection and visibility, making it particularly appealing to sailors who value comfort during extended passages or year-round sailing in challenging conditions. Designed collaboratively by W.H. Scott and T.R. Allmand, the 35 features solid fiberglass construction with a fin keel and rudder mounted on a protective skeg. This hull configuration strikes a balance between performance and directional stability, while the generous beam of 11.67 feet creates spacious accommodations both above and below deck. The cutter rig offers excellent sail handling versatility, allowing for reduced sail area in heavy weather while maintaining good balance. With a comfort ratio of 23.33, this boat leans toward the more comfortable end of the cruising spectrum, though the moderate displacement keeps performance respectable for coastal passages. The capsize screening formula of 2.04 suggests reasonable stability for offshore work, while the pilot house design makes it especially suitable for northern climates or extended cruising where crew comfort is paramount. Production ran from 1981 to 1985, making these boats relatively uncommon but sought-after among pilots house enthusiasts.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 16.11
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
 35.83
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
 239.65
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 23.33
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 2.04
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 7.11 kn
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
 2.19
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 1,174.64 pounds/inch
SA/Displacement (Calc) Calculated Sail Area to Displacement ratio using actual measured sail dimensions rather than reported values. More precise than the reported SA/Disp figure. 16.11
