Designed by the legendary Sparkman & Stephens naval architecture firm, this 35-footer represents classic American yacht design from the mid-1970s. Built by Aura Yachts starting in 1975, the A35 showcases the timeless proportions and seaworthy characteristics that made S&S designs renowned worldwide. With her moderate displacement of 12,000 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, this masthead sloop delivers the stability and comfort that coastal cruisers demand. The fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration provides responsive handling while maintaining directional stability in following seas. Her 26-foot waterline generates a respectable hull speed of 6.83 knots, making her well-suited for extended coastal passages and weekend cruising. The fiberglass construction ensures durability, while the generous 11-foot beam provides ample interior volume for comfortable accommodations. Her comfort ratio of 26.37 indicates a boat that moves through waves rather than riding over them, characteristic of designs prioritizing seaworthiness over pure speed. The capsize screening value of 1.93 reflects good offshore capability, though she's ideally suited for coastal and near-shore cruising where her classic lines and reliable performance truly shine.
