The Niagara 35, designed by Mark Ellis and built by Hinterhoeller Yachts, stands as a quintessential example of the "high-end cruiser" philosophy that defined the Canadian boat-building industry in the late 1970s and 1980s. Emerging from the St. Catharines facility under the watchful eye of George Hinterhoeller, the model was produced between 1978 and 1990, with roughly 300 hulls completed. It was conceived as a vessel capable of serious offshore passage-making while remaining manageable for a cruising couple. Unlike many of its contemporaries that chased racing ratings, the Niagara 35 was purpose-built for the cruising sailor, emphasizing structural integrity, clever interior ergonomics, and a hull shape that prioritizes sea-kindliness over raw speed.
