About the CAPTIVA 35
Similar to the ALMAND 35.
The Captiva 35 is a 34.75 ft masthead sloop designed by Walter Scott and built by Captiva Yachts (USA) in 1980. With a displacement of 15100.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 28.42, this vessel represents a specific era of American yacht construction, though the exact total hulls built remains unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable motion and manageable size over high-performance racing metrics. Its moderate sail area/displacement ratio of 14.46 indicates it is well-suited for relaxed cruising rather than aggressive performance sailing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.89 and a displacement of 15100.0 lb, the Captiva 35 demonstrates solid offshore stability and seaworthiness for coastal and nearshore passages. Its fin keel and moderate draft of 5.17 ft provide adequate performance for protected waters, though its single-year production run suggests limited long-term parts availability for serious bluewater expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from the same era include the Cal 35 and O'Day 35, which share similar beam dimensions and displacement characteristics. These vessels are comparable because they all offer a balance of interior volume and offshore capability typical of late-1970s and early-1980s American production yachts.
