Designed by Shad Turner and built by W. D. Schock Corporation beginning in 1984, this 35-foot masthead sloop represents a thoughtful balance between performance and comfort for coastal cruising and club racing. The wing keel configuration offers reduced draft while maintaining stability, making it well-suited for shallow harbors and protected waters where traditional deep-draft vessels might struggle. With a displacement of 9,500 pounds and 4,000 pounds of ballast, the boat strikes a moderate balance between the light-displacement racing boats and heavy cruising vessels of its era. The fiberglass construction and relatively modest beam of 11.75 feet contribute to predictable handling characteristics, while the generous sail area of 639 square feet provides respectable performance in light to moderate conditions. The comfort ratio of 17.71 suggests this boat leans toward the sportier end of the cruising spectrum, likely appealing to sailors who prioritize sailing performance alongside comfortable accommodations. The capsize screening formula of 2.22 indicates good stability for coastal sailing, though it's best suited for protected waters rather than extended offshore passages. Hull speed calculations suggest capable performance for weekend cruising and local racing, making it an attractive option for sailors seeking versatility in familiar waters.
