About the MAESTRO 35
Designed by Eivind Still and built by Jonmeri and Maestro in Finland, the Maestro 35 is a robust cruiser from 1985. While the exact number of hulls built is unknown, the fleet is characterized by its heavy displacement and traditional Scandinavian construction quality.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable passage maker who prioritize interior volume and protection over high-speed performance. Its heavy displacement and moderate sail area make it well-suited for relaxed cruising rather than racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 11464.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.04, the Maestro 35 is well-suited for offshore passages, offering significant stability and motion comfort in heavy seas.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 35 and the Nautor's Swan 35, as they share similar heavy-displacement characteristics, fin keel designs, and a focus on offshore comfort from the mid-1980s. The Maestro 35 offers a similar balance of stability and interior space found in these other European cruisers.
