The Rafiki 35 represents a pivotal chapter in the history of Taiwanese yacht construction, emerging from the Lien Hwa Industrial Corp. shipyard during the late 1970s as a robust, albeit more conventional, alternative to its famous sibling, the Rafiki 37. While the 37footer gained notoriety for its doubleended "canoe" stern and Colin Archerinspired lines, the Rafiki 35 was designed by Canadian naval architect Stan Huntingford with a traditional transom stern and a focus on maximizing internal volume and structural rigidity. Huntingford, known for his work on the Cooper and Sceptre lines, brought a distinctively West Coast North American perspective to the project, resulting in a vessel that prioritizes heavyweather survival and longrange cruising over lightair agility. Often overshadowed by the 37, the 35 is regarded by many offshore sailors as the more practical "sea home" due to its increased cockpit space and more efficient use of its 35foot length.
