The Express 35 stands as the sophisticated flagship of the brief but impactful collaboration between Bill Goman and naval architect Steve Killing. Launched in 1983, the design reflects a transitional period in Canadian boatbuilding where the performancefirst ethos of C&C Yachts—where both founders honed their craft—began to meld with a more refined approach to cruising comfort. Built in Midland, Ontario, the Express 35 was designed to satisfy the "racercruiser" dual identity, offering a hull that could hold its own on a PHRF course while providing the volume and amenities necessary for extended Great Lakes or coastal passages. As the largest model in the Goman/Express lineup, it followed the commercial success of the Express 30 and the smaller Express 20, serving as the ultimate evolution of Steve Killing’s early independent design philosophy.
