BOUNTY 35 (COLE)

About the BOUNTY 35 (COLE)

The Bounty 35 is a classic cruising sloop designed by Peter Cole and built by Mayrack Marine/Hutton Yachts, with production records indicating builds from 1975. This vessel represents a specific era of British yacht construction, characterized by its robust fin keel and masthead sloop rig, though its exact total hull count remains unverified in available data.

Best for:

This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and those seeking a classic, comfortable liveaboard experience, particularly owners willing to invest in significant maintenance of its aging composite structure. Its moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio suggests it is best for relaxed cruising rather than high-performance racing.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 15432.0 lb and a low capsize ratio of 1.69, the Bounty 35 possesses the physical characteristics for offshore passage-making, though its bluewater readiness is heavily contingent on the condition of its deck core and rudder assembly.

Comparables:

Comparable vessels include other late-1970s British fin-keel cruisers such as the Hallberg-Rassy 35 or the Hallberg-Rassy 32, which share similar displacement, beam, and cruising-oriented designs. These boats are comparable due to their emphasis on seaworthiness and interior volume over speed, typical of the era's production yachts.
