The Hughes 35 stands as a quintessential example of the 1970s performancecruiser evolution, bridging the gap between the era’s burgeoning IOR (International Offshore Rule) racing influence and the demand for robust, seakindly coastal voyagers. Designed by the prestigious firm Sparkman & Stephens (Design 2166), the hull was originally introduced as the Northstar 1500 during the period when Hughes Boat Works was owned by US Steel. Following Howard Hughes’s reacquisition of the company in 1977, the model was restyled and rebranded as the Hughes 35. Its pedigree is further evidenced by its international siblings; the design was produced in the United Kingdom by South Hants Engineering as the S.H.E. 36 and saw a variation released as the Coronado 36. This global footprint underscores a hull form prized for its balance of speed and predictability in offshore conditions.
