The Ohlson 35 stands as a quintessential example of the transition between the elegance of traditional wooden yacht design and the industrial durability of early fiberglass construction. Designed by the celebrated Swedish naval architect Einar Ohlson and featuring hulls molded by the Tyler Boat Co. Ltd., this model reflects a period when "overbuilding" was the standard. While Einar Ohlson was perhaps most famous for his 5.5metre racing designs, the Ohlson 35 applied those sleek, lowdrag principles to a cruiserracer capable of offshore passages. The partnership with Tyler Boat Co. was crucial; while the early iterations of the 35 were crafted in wood, the move to GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) allowed for a wider distribution of the design while retaining the signature "Ohlson look"—characterized by a graceful sheer line, a narrow beam, and a balanced overhang at the bow and stern.
