The Pawtucket 35 is a rare but respected artifact of the Rhode Island boatbuilding tradition, designed by Charles Withington and primarily constructed by Standard Marine in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, during the late 1960s and early 1970s. As a quintessential "heavy cruiser" from the early era of fiberglass production, the Pawtucket 35 was conceived during a time when designers were still overengineering hulls to ensure structural integrity. This model is often categorized alongside the rugged offshore voyagers of its day, such as those from Allied or Pearson, emphasizing seakindliness and ultimate stability over lightair speed. While the builder, Standard Marine, did not achieve the commercial scale of its neighbors like Bristol or Pearson, the Pawtucket 35 remains a cult favorite for traditionalists seeking a stout, fullkeeled platform for bluewater passages.
