UNDERWATER PROFILE Below the waterline, you'll find twin rudders and three keel options: shoal (4' 11 " ), deep-draft (6' 7 " ) and a hydraulically lifting keel (4' 1 " - 8' 4 " with no bulb). That last one will deliver the best performance when sailing upwind and will still let you anchor in shallow coves. AT FIRST GLANCE Once you step aboard via the manual drop-down transom, you'll be standing between two helm seats which fold up and out when not in use. It's a clever way to declutter the back when it's time to have fun in the water. Twin wheels are mounted on integrated binnacles and a large dropleaf table sits between two benches that can host four for dinner. An option worth considering is the upgraded chocks at the transom. They're beefy and will handle big loads in a surgy marina with ease. Options here include an electric halyard winch at the companionway. Teak slatting on the swim platform is a standard feature. ONBOARD LIVING Accommodations are ample and deceptive. You don't feel like you're on a 35-footer when standing in the saloon. An L-shaped galley is to starboard with a two-burner stove and a top-loading fridge. A microwave and a 2000-watt inverter are optional. It's a small space but a good chef will lack for nothing. The saloon is where things get interesting. Notice the wide settees that magically The helm seats are great for bracing yourself while looking ahead and driving, and they fold away when not in use to for better access to the swim platform. fit into a 12-foot beam. They've been made wider presumably so they're comfortable for sleeping when you need extra berths. The port settee also forms the seat for the aft-facing nav desk that folds away when not in use. With it stowed, you make the port berth longer by adding a cushion insert. Another nice touch is the head that can morph from a wet head in the three aft cabin version to a large bath with a separate shower stall in the two-cabin Up to eight can get comfortable in the cockpit while underway and that's impressive on a 35-footer.
