About the FORGUS 35
Designed by Hugo Samuelsson and built by Forgus Yachts (SWE) between 1977 and 1983, the Forgus 35 is a rare Swedish cruiser with only 28 hulls produced. Its authoritative specifications confirm a displacement of 12787.0 lb and a beam of 11.15 ft, indicating a substantial, heavy-displacement vessel.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and bluewater adventurers who prioritize seakeeping and comfort over raw speed, given its high comfort ratio of 25.57 and heavy displacement.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.91 and a high displacement-to-length ratio of 214.41, the Forgus 35 is well-suited for offshore passages, offering stability and motion comfort in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other heavy-displacement Scandinavian designs from the late 1970s, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 35 or Nautor's Swan 36, due to similar build quality, displacement characteristics, and focus on offshore capability.
