The J35 is an easy boat to sail and as a cruiser can give good performance with small easy to trim sails.

J35 yacht review. Yachting Monthlys Scuttlebutt. Island Packet 439 Boat Review. Easily handled by a family it offered plenty of space below for accommodations that were plain but practical.

Boat Review from our April 2012 issue. However if you re interested in excellent performance quality construction and very competitive sailing at a reasonable cost the J35 is worth a very serious look. Designed by Rodney Johnstone in the US and built under licence locally in Australia by Bashford Boats these boats are a great example of what a racercruiser is all about.

Designed by Rodney Johnstone in the US and built under licence locally in Australia by Bashford Boats these boats are a great example of what a racercruiser is all about. Designed primarily as a club racer for both in and off shore with Cat 4 safety equipment but has all. I raced against the E34 many many times and while its a beautiful and well made boat the owner always had trouble sailing to the rating.

I really love these boats. CLASS RULES LIMITATIONS. Boats that float nearly perfectly on their class-required draft stripes do show a bit of a competitive edge over those that may weigh a little heavy.

Its a well-balanced boat with excellent feel if you have a tiller model on all points of sail. Great boats dont happen overnight. 1 of 5 Revised.

These endearing characteristics gave the J35 a parallel life as cruising boat. In terms of cruising amenities the shoal-draft J108 picks up where its smaller sibling the J95 left off. 33 Hans Christian 38 Hardin 44 Voyager Hardin 45 Hunter 37 Hunter 41AC Hunter Passage 42 Hylas 44 Irwin 52 Islander 38C J24 J35 Little Harbor 51 Morgan 32 Morgan 34 MK II Morgan 382 Northwest 38 Rhodes 41 S2 92C Sadler 29 San Juan 24.
