Designed during a golden era of New Zealand yacht design, the Ross 35 represents the pinnacle of lightdisplacement, highperformance cruiserracers from the drawing board of legendary naval architect Murray Ross. First launched in 1983, this fractional sloop was engineered to challenge the conventional, heavier cruiserracers of the decade. In an era dominated by stout, deepbodied designs, Murray Ross championed easily driven, lightdisplacement hulls that maximized speed and athletic handling. The Ross 35 carved out a distinct niche, offering a more aggressive, highperformance sailing experience than competitors like the Farr 1020 or Davidson 35, while still retaining enough interior accommodation and cruising amenities to satisfy family weekend trips and coastal passages.
