Coronado 35 Ms

Built from 1971 to 1976 by Coronado Yachts, this William Tripp Jr. design represents a classic era of American sailboat production when builders focused on creating affordable yet capable cruising boats for the growing recreational sailing market. The masthead sloop configuration and moderate proportions make this a well-balanced coastal cruiser suitable for weekend adventures and extended coastal passages. With a displacement of 13,000 pounds and 4,700 pounds of ballast, the design offers the stability and sea-kindly motion that Tripp was known for incorporating into his work. The fin keel with rudder mounted on a skeg provides good tracking and maneuverability while maintaining the directional stability that cruising sailors appreciate. The fiberglass construction has proven durable over the decades, with many examples still actively sailing today. The boat's comfort ratio of 31.03 indicates a motion that favors stability over quick response, making it well-suited for families or crews who prioritize comfort during longer passages. The capsize screening value of 1.72 suggests good stability characteristics for coastal and near-offshore sailing. With 500 square feet of sail area, the rig provides adequate power for cruising while remaining manageable for smaller crews, embodying the practical approach that made Coronado designs popular among recreational sailors of the era.
