Designed by Shad Turner and built by W. D. Schock Corporation from 1984 onwards, this 35-footer represents a well-balanced approach to performance cruising from the mid-1980s era. With 83 hulls produced during its production run, the Schock 35 found a solid niche among sailors seeking a capable coastal cruiser with respectable sailing performance. The boat's fin keel and spade rudder configuration, combined with a sail area to displacement ratio of 22.1, delivers spirited performance while maintaining good handling characteristics. At 10,000 pounds displacement with 4,500 pounds of ballast, the design strikes a reasonable balance between stability and speed potential. The moderate beam of 11.75 feet provides adequate interior volume without sacrificing sailing performance. Turner's design philosophy emphasized creating boats that could handle both weekend coastal cruising and more extended passages with confidence. The masthead sloop rig keeps sail handling straightforward, while the fiberglass construction ensures durability and relatively low maintenance. With a comfort ratio of 18.64, the Schock 35 leans toward the performance end of the spectrum while still offering reasonable accommodations for extended cruising along the coast or to nearby offshore destinations.
