Introduced in 1993, the Fountaine Pajot Tobago 35 represented a significant milestone for the French shipyard, bridging the gap between small, coastal catamarans and the larger offshore voyagers of the era. Designed by the esteemed naval architecture firm Joubert/Nivelt, the Tobago 35 was a departure from the boxy aesthetics of previous decades, introducing the sleek, aerodynamically curved "eyebrow" coachroof that would become a brand hallmark. Constructed using a vacuumbagged foam core sandwich, the vessel achieved a light displacement of approximately 9,000 pounds, a figure that remains impressive even by modern standards for a 35foot cruising multihull. This lightweight construction, combined with a relatively generous sail plan, established the Tobago 35 as a nimble entrylevel cruiser capable of bluewater passages when handled with care. Production continued until approximately 1997, leaving a legacy of roughly 140 hulls that remain highly sought after on the preowned market due to their balance of performance and manageable size. Detailed specifications and its place in the brand's timeline are maintained by the manufacturer on their Previous Models archive.
