Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Edel Cat 35-1, also known as the Adventure 10m, is a rare fractional sloop catamaran designed by Marc Edel and built by Edel in France. Production was limited to a single year, 1985, with the exact build count remaining unknown.

Best for:
This vessel suits coastal cruisers and light-displacement enthusiasts who prioritize speed and shallow draft over heavy offshore protection. Its low displacement of 7000.0 lb and high SA/D ratio of 31.58 make it ideal for short-handed sailing in protected waters.
Bluewater capability:
With a capsize ratio of 4.15 and a comfort ratio of 6.24, this boat is not well-suited for serious bluewater cruising due to its light displacement and narrow beam-to-length ratio for offshore stability.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include other 1980s European catamarans like the Lagoon 320 or Fountaine-Pajot models, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and beam dimensions around 19.82 ft. These vessels offer similar performance characteristics but often with higher build volumes and more established support networks.
