Etap 35I

Built by Belgian manufacturer Etap Yachting starting in 1992, this 35-footer represents the company's commitment to unsinkable yacht construction through their innovative foam-filled hull design. The Etap 35I stretches nearly 35 feet overall with a moderate beam of 11.5 feet, creating a well-balanced platform that appeals to both coastal cruisers and those venturing further offshore. The fractional sloop rig and fin keel configuration deliver respectable sailing performance, with the boat's hull speed reaching over 7 knots. At 11,464 pounds displacement with 3,836 pounds of ballast, the design strikes a practical balance between stability and performance. The comfort ratio of 22.22 suggests this yacht leans toward the sportier end of the cruising spectrum, while the capsize screening formula of 2.05 indicates reasonable offshore capability. Etap's signature unsinkable construction sets this boat apart from conventional fiberglass yachts, using closed-cell foam between inner and outer hull shells. This unique feature provides exceptional safety margins and has earned the brand a devoted following among safety-conscious sailors. The 28-horsepower engine provides adequate auxiliary power for maneuvering and calm-weather motoring, making the 35I a versatile choice for serious coastal cruising and limited offshore passages.
