The Parker 235 represents a refined evolution in the British lifting-keel tradition, designed by Bill Parker and introduced in the mid-1990s as a sophisticated successor to the Parker 21. Built with the same meticulous attention to detail as the larger 275 and 325 models, the 235 was engineered to bridge the gap between a high-performance dinghy and a true coastal cruiser. It is a vessel that defies the typical compromises of its size, offering a heavy lead-filled lifting wing keel rather than the lighter water-ballast systems found in many contemporary trailer sailers. This design choice ensures a level of stiffness and "big boat" feel that allowed the 235 to achieve an RCD Category C rating, making it a capable choice for crossing open bays and exploring the UK’s more exposed coastlines.
