About the HUSTLER 35
Molded by Tyler Boat Co. and most finished by E. C. Landamore & Co. Ltd.
Designed by Donald Pye and built by Tyler Boat Co. (UK) from 1971–1979, the Hustler 35 is a rare vessel with only 45 hulls produced. Its compact 35.17 ft LOA belies a substantial 11949.0 lb displacement, resulting in a heavy, comfortable cruiser with a Comfort ratio of 27.92.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who prioritize interior volume and comfort over raw speed, given its moderate SA/D ratio of 14.81 and stable, heavy displacement.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low Capsize ratio of 1.85 and a D/L ratio of 312.43, the Hustler 35 is well-suited for offshore passages, offering excellent stability and motion comfort in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other 1970s British fin-keel cruisers like the Hallberg-Rassy 35 or Oyster 36, the Hustler 35 shares a similar emphasis on robust construction and liveaboard comfort, though it is significantly rarer with only 45 hulls built.
