About the MAMBA 35
The Mamba 35 is a fractional sloop designed by Jan & Harry Becker and built by BK Marin AB from 1981–1988. With a displacement of 11464.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 25.92, it offers a balanced blend of performance and stability for its era.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, moderately heavy-displacement cruiser that remains manageable for short-handed sailing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.81 and a D/L ratio of 205.56, the Mamba 35 possesses the stability and mass required for offshore passages, though its fin keel and fractional rig prioritize coastal agility over extreme heavy-weather endurance.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 35 and the Nauticat 35, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, heavy displacement characteristics, and a focus on safe, comfortable cruising.
