About the ALBERG 35

Sailpages Buyer's Take

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.
