Designed by the legendary firm of Sparkman & Stephens, the Impala 35 is a classic cruiserracer that captures the transition of yacht design into the International Offshore Rule era. Conceived in 1969 under S&S Design Number 2008, the model was born during a golden era of ocean racing, heavily sharing its DNA with the celebrated S&S 34—the design that propelled British Prime Minister Ted Heath’s Morning Cloud to a class victory in the 1969 Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. While the S&S 34 found immense fame in the United Kingdom and Australia, the Impala 35 was built in Italy by Niccolò Puccinelli’s Cantiere Navale 71 in Castiglione della Pescaia. Simultaneously, the design was produced in Denmark by Bianca Yachts as the Sagitta 35. The Impala 35 represents a purist’s approach to offshore sailing, combining timeless Italian craftsmanship with a hull form designed to handle the most unforgiving ocean conditions.
