Degerö 35 S Buyer's Guide
Shopping a used Degerö 35 S on the brokerage market means looking at a Swedish Södergren-designed cruiser from 1985 onward, built as a masthead-sloop fin-keeler with a skeg rudder and a genuinely liveable two-cabin interior. These are boats that have typically seen real cruising, so the questions are less about the design and more about how any individual hull was kept.
Layouts on the Used Market
The standard interior places the galley to port running fore-and-aft, the chart table and aft-cabin door to starboard, a V-berth forward, and a saloon seating six with headroom over 1.9 metres. The aft double sits under the cockpit and carries its own hanging and storage lockers. A separate heads with hand-pump toilet, holding tank, and shower with wet locker serves the plan. Some boats were ordered with mahogany rather than the standard Burmese teak interior, and fitted carpets were a factory option rather than a universal fit.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Boats on the market commonly carry a bow thruster, AIS, autopilot, chartplotter, inverter, hot water, and an EPIRB—a cluster that speaks to owners who equipped for independent navigating and docking without shore power. The standard Furlex headsail furling and twin Lewmar-equivalent winch pairs are usually still in place, but the presence of an inverter and hot water means the DC and pressurised-water systems have been integrated beyond the bare factory spec. A buyer should confirm the bow thruster battery feed and the inverter cabling are tidy, since those are the additions most likely to have been owner-fitted.
What to Inspect
The balsa-cored deck and topsides above the waterline are the first place a viewing goes wrong. Press around every stanchion base, winch bolt, and hatch frame for softness or spongy give; brown staining or a dull thud underfoot signals water in the core. The skeg-hung rudder should be checked for play at the 86 mm stainless shaft—lift the helm and feel for movement in the delrin glide bearings, and look for weepage at the rudder-hull join. The lead keel's eight 24 mm bolts should be examined for crevice corrosion at the nuts and for any hull-gelcoat crazing where the moulded extension meets the hull. Inside, trace the holding tank discharge pump and deck fitting for past leaks, and confirm the galley gas stop valve still operates.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These yachts are typically found in the Netherlands and Finland. Before you commit, walk the checklist:
- Press the deck and bulwarks for core softness at every penetration.
- Check the rudder shaft for play and weepage at the skeg.
- Inspect the keel bolts for corrosion and hull crazing at the joint.
- Verify the holding tank pump and deck discharge are leak-free.
- Confirm the bow thruster and inverter wiring is neat and fused.
