About the AERODYNE 35
Also called SOUTH 35. Water ballast:1763 lbs./800 kgs. A number of different rigs available.
The Aerodyne 35 is a high-performance cruiser designed by Groupe Finot and built by Bellamer in Finland, with production records indicating a single build year of 2000. With a hull count listed as unknown, this rare vessel combines a fractional sloop rig with a rotating spar, offering a distinct blend of racing pedigree and cruising comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced sailors seeking a fast, responsive coastal cruiser who value performance and are comfortable maintaining a rare, low-production vessel with specialized rigging.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 7055.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.41, the Aerodyne 35 is primarily a coastal performer rather than a heavy bluewater cruiser, though its fin keel and robust construction allow for protected offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the First 36.7 and Beneteau First 36.7, which share the same era and performance-oriented fractional sloop layout, though the Aerodyne distinguishes itself with its unique rotating spar rig and lighter displacement.
