Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Coronado 35 is a William Tripp Jr. designed masthead ketch built by Coronado Yachts in the USA from 1971–1976. With a displacement of 13000.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 31.03, this vessel is recognized for its robust construction and balanced performance, though the exact number of hulls built remains unspecified in available records.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, comfortable passage maker, as evidenced by the high frequency of dodger and bimini installations indicating a focus on protected, relaxed cruising.
Bluewater capability:
With a capsize ratio of 1.72 and a displacement of 13000.0 lb, the Coronado 35 demonstrates strong offshore suitability, supported by owner reports of solar, wind generator, and watermaker installations for extended passages.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include the Cal 35 and O'Day 35, which share similar production eras, displacement ranges, and the popular masthead ketch configuration favored by owners seeking a balance of speed and stability.
