About the BANDHOLM 35
The Bandholm 35 is a Danish-built cruising sloop designed by Knud Olsen, with production records indicating a single build year of 1979. As a fin-keel masthead sloop, it offers a displacement of 12787.0 lb and a beam of 10.83 ft, reflecting a design focused on stability and comfort rather than high-speed planing.
- Best for:
- This vessel is well-suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable, stable ride over extreme performance. Its moderate comfort ratio of 28.39 suggests it handles chop well, making it a good candidate for relaxed cruising in moderate conditions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.86 and a displacement/length ratio of 299.57, the Bandholm 35 exhibits good inherent stability for offshore passages, though its single-year production run limits the breadth of long-term bluewater ownership data.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau First 36 and the O'Day 35, as they share similar dimensions, displacement ranges, and a focus on family-friendly coastal cruising. Like the Bandholm, these designs prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over racing pedigree.
