The Cole Bounty 35 is a quintessential example of the Australian "cruiserracer" evolution that defined the 1970s and early 1980s. Designed by the esteemed naval architect Peter Cole, whose influence on the Australian marine industry is comparable to that of Sparkman & Stephens in the United States, the Bounty 35 was conceived as a productionfriendly version of his successful oneoff racing designs. Emerging from an era where seaworthiness and competitive IOR (International Offshore Rule) performance were not mutually exclusive, the Bounty 35 offers a robust fiberglass platform that has remained a staple in Australian club racing and coastal cruising for over four decades. While the builder context of the era often involves a transition of molds between various yards, the Bounty 35 is most commonly associated with Bounty Yachts, though it shares significant DNA with its smaller sibling, the East Coast 31, and its larger, more famous predecessor, the Cole 43.
