About the MG 335
Also built in Canada by Canadian Sailcraft as the CS 34.
The MG 335 is a fractional sloop designed by Tony Castro and built by MG Yachts/Marine Glass (UK) between 1986 and 1994. With a displacement of 8900.0 lb and a beam of 11.25 ft, it offers a comfortable cruising platform, though the total number of hulls built is unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, moderately heavy cruiser with a fractional rig, particularly owners willing to manage specific structural maintenance issues common to this era of UK-built yachts.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.18 and a D/L ratio of 187.55, the MG 335 demonstrates moderate offshore stability, though its bluewater readiness is contingent on addressing critical deck core moisture and keel structural integrity.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other mid-1980s to early-1990s fractional sloop cruisers of similar length and displacement, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 34 or the Beneteau First 343, due to similar beam and comfort ratios.
