Sunrise 35

Built by Young Sun in Taiwan starting in 1980, this 35-footer represents classic offshore cruising design philosophy with its traditional long keel configuration and cutter rig. The substantial 22,000-pound displacement and generous ballast of 8,500 pounds create a stable platform that inspires confidence in challenging conditions, while the moderate beam of 11.75 feet ensures comfortable motion at sea. The long keel design provides excellent directional stability and allows the boat to track well on long passages, though it sacrifices some maneuverability in tight quarters compared to fin keel designs. With a draft of 5.67 feet, the boat offers a good compromise between stability and harbor accessibility. The cutter rig configuration provides versatility in heavy weather, allowing sailors to balance the sail plan effectively when conditions deteriorate. Performance expectations align with comfortable passage-making rather than speed, with the 750 square feet of sail area providing adequate power for the boat's displacement. The comfort ratio of 39.39 indicates this yacht prioritizes seaworthiness over speed, making it well-suited for extended offshore cruising and liveaboard applications. The capsize screening value of 1.68 suggests good ocean-going capability, while the 30-horsepower engine provides reliable auxiliary power for harbor maneuvering and motoring in calm conditions.
