About the DEHLER 35
Draft: 2,15 m/7.05' (racing) 1,62 m/5.31' (shallow) Displacement: 5.430 kg (racing) 5.830 kg (shallow) Ballast: 1.815 kg (racing) 2.190 kg (shallow) Not to be confused with the earlier DEHLER 35 CWS (1993).
The Dehler 35 is a performance-oriented fractional sloop designed by Simonis & Voogd and built by Dehler, with production records indicating a build year of 2010. This model combines a lightweight displacement of 12169.0 lb with a beam of 11.45 ft, resulting in a low D/L ratio of 186.48 that prioritizes speed and agility over heavy displacement comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and performance sailors who prioritize sailing dynamics and ease of handling over heavy bluewater displacement. Its fractional rig and relatively light displacement make it an excellent candidate for short-handed or single-handed cruising in protected waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.99 and a comfort ratio of 22.94, the Dehler 35 is designed for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extreme offshore passages. Its fin keel and relatively light displacement suggest it is best kept within sight of land or in well-charted coastal routes.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau First 36 and the J/36, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and performance-focused hull forms. These models are comparable due to their emphasis on upwind performance and modern deck layouts, though the Dehler often features a more refined European build quality.
