The Hughes 35 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1977.[1][2][3][4]

The Hughes 35 is a development of the North Star 1500, which was built by North Star Yachts prior to Howard Hughes re-acquiring the company in 1977. Both the Hughes 35 and the North Star 35 are variants of Sparkman & Stephens's design number 2166 as are the Aura A35 and the SHE 36.[1][2][5][6]

Production

[edit]

The design was built by Hughes Boat Works in Canada, starting in 1977, but it is now out of production.[1][2][7][8]

Design

[edit]

The Hughes 35 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a swept fixed fin keel. It displaces 12,000 lb (5,443 kg) and carries 5,400 lb (2,449 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 5.80 ft (1.77 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]

The boat is fitted with an inboard engine for docking and manoeuvring and has a hull speed of 6.83 kn (12.65 km/h).[2]
