About the Elizabethan 35 Sailboat

Designed by the renowned British firm Holman and Pye and built by Peter Webster Ltd., this classic fin-keeled sloop represents mid-1960s British yacht design at its finest. With only 15 hulls constructed beginning in 1965, the Elizabethan 35 stands as a rare example of quality fiberglass construction from this pivotal era in sailboat manufacturing. The yacht's traditional proportions and substantial 14,000-pound displacement create a stable, seaworthy platform well-suited for coastal cruising and offshore passages. Her masthead sloop configuration with 405 square feet of sail area provides balanced performance across varying wind conditions, while the moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio of 11.2 suggests predictable, comfortable sailing characteristics rather than pure racing performance. At 34.58 feet overall with a 25-foot waterline, she offers respectable accommodation potential within her 9.08-foot beam. The five-foot draft fin keel configuration delivers good windward performance while maintaining reasonable harbor access. Her comfort ratio of 41.09 indicates excellent motion characteristics in seaways, making her particularly appealing for extended cruising. The Elizabethan 35's combination of Holman and Pye's proven design philosophy and limited production numbers makes her a sought-after classic among discerning sailors who appreciate traditional British craftsmanship and seaworthy design.
