About the ALBERG 35
Also available as a yawl.
Designed by Carl Alberg and built by Pearson Yachts (USA) from 1961–1967, the Alberg 35 is a classic full-keel sloop with 280 hulls produced. It is renowned for its heavy displacement of 12600.0 lb and robust construction, reflecting Alberg's philosophy of seaworthiness and comfort over pure speed.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideal for traditional coastal cruisers and conservative bluewater passagemakers who prioritize stability, comfort, and proven offshore capability over high-performance racing metrics.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a D/L ratio of 406.9, a capsize ratio of 1.67, and a full/long keel, the Alberg 35 is highly capable offshore, offering exceptional stability and motion comfort in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- It compares closely to the Pearson 36 and other late-1950s/early-1960s full-keel designs like the Tartan 34, sharing similar displacement, beam, and a focus on heavy, safe offshore cruising.
