Bandholm 35

Danish designer Knud Olsen created this well-balanced 35-footer for Bandholm Boats in 1979, establishing a reputation as a capable coastal cruiser with respectable sailing performance. The fin keel and skeg-hung rudder configuration provides excellent directional stability while maintaining good maneuverability in tight quarters, making it equally suited for harbor sailing and extended coastal passages. With a displacement of 12,787 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, this masthead sloop offers the stability and comfort expected from a serious cruising yacht. The moderate beam of 10.83 feet creates a comfortable interior without sacrificing sailing ability, while the 5.91-foot draft provides good windward performance. Her comfort ratio of 28.39 indicates motion characteristics well-suited for extended passages, though she's nimble enough for weekend sailing. The fiberglass construction typical of late 1970s Danish boatbuilding reflects solid engineering principles and durability. Her 6.93-knot hull speed suggests respectable performance under sail, while the 23-horsepower auxiliary engine provides adequate power for maneuvering and motoring in calm conditions. This design represents the era's focus on seaworthy family cruisers that could handle both coastal exploration and occasional offshore passages with confidence.
