About the ETAP 35i

The Etap 35i is a fractional sloop designed by an unknown designer and built by Etap Yachting, with production records indicating a build year of 1992 and an unspecified total hull count. This vessel measures 34.84 ft LOA with a displacement of 11464.0 lb, offering a balanced performance profile characterized by a comfort ratio of 22.22 and a capsize ratio of 2.05.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a stable, comfortable ride with moderate performance, as indicated by its D/L ratio of 209.84 and beam of 11.52 ft. It is well-suited for couples or small families seeking a manageable fractional sloop with ample interior volume for short to medium passages.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 11464.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.05, the Etap 35i is primarily designed for coastal cruising rather than heavy offshore passage-making. Its fin keel and moderate ballast ratio suggest it is best suited for protected waters and short offshore trips rather than extended bluewater voyaging.

Comparables:

Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau First 36 and the O'Day 36, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and displacement ranges. These vessels offer similar coastal cruising capabilities and interior layouts, making them direct competitors for buyers seeking a 35-foot performance cruiser.
