About the CORONADO 35 MS
See also CORONADO 35.
The Coronado 35 MS is a classic American cruising sloop designed by William Tripp Jr. and built by Coronado Yachts (USA) between 1971 and 1976. With a displacement of 13000.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 31.03, this vessel is engineered for a stable, comfortable ride, though the exact number of hulls built remains unverified in available records.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and couples seeking a comfortable, motion-dampened passage maker with ample interior volume. Its moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio of 14.52 suggests it is ideal for relaxed cruising rather than high-performance racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.72 and a displacement of 13000.0 lb, the Coronado 35 MS demonstrates strong inherent stability and offshore potential, making it a capable bluewater cruiser for experienced sailors.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Cal 35 and the Island Packet 38, as they share similar displacement ranges and design philosophies focused on comfort and stability over speed. The Coronado 35 MS also aligns with other William Tripp Jr. designs from the early 1970s that prioritize seaworthiness and livability.
