Built by Endeavor Catamarans from 1994 to 2001, this 35-foot cruising catamaran represents designer Bill Hephurn's approach to affordable multihull sailing. With only 28 hulls produced during its seven-year production run, the Victory 35 Cat occupies a unique niche in the American catamaran market of the 1990s. The boat's shallow 2.83-foot draft and modest displacement of 9,500 pounds make it well-suited for coastal cruising and gunkholing in protected waters. Its 16-foot beam provides excellent stability and generous interior volume, while the masthead sloop rig with 620 square feet of sail area delivers respectable performance. The SA/Displacement ratio of 22.19 indicates moderate sailing characteristics that prioritize comfort over speed. Fiberglass construction keeps maintenance reasonable, and the 27-horsepower auxiliary engine provides adequate power for maneuvering in marinas and motoring in light air. Without daggerboards or asymmetric hulls, this design emphasizes simplicity and ease of handling over windward performance. The Victory 35 Cat appeals to sailors seeking an entry-level catamaran for weekend cruising and coastal exploration, offering the stability and space advantages of multihull sailing without the complexity of high-performance designs.
