About the ALC 35 (LE COMTE)
The ALC 35 (Le Comte) is a classic 1968 design by W. Tripp and A. Lecomte, built by LeCompte in the Netherlands. With a displacement of 12000.0 lb and a beam of 10.0 ft, it represents a substantial, heavy-displacement cruiser from the late 1960s, though the exact number of hulls built remains unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers who prioritize comfort and stability over high-speed performance, given its high D/L ratio of 299.24 and Comfort ratio of 29.97. It appeals to owners seeking a robust, traditional sailing experience with a masthead sloop rig.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low Capsize ratio of 1.75 and significant ballast of 5799.6 lb, the ALC 35 exhibits strong inherent stability suitable for offshore passages. Its heavy displacement and fin keel design suggest it can handle rough seas, provided the hull integrity is sound.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Tartan 35 and the O'Day 35, which share similar production eras and heavy-displacement characteristics. These vessels are comparable due to their focus on seaworthiness and interior volume rather than racing pedigree.
