The Santana 35, designed by Shad Turner and introduced in 1978 by W.D. Schock, represents a pivotal moment in West Coast performance yacht design. Emerging during the height of the International Offshore Rule (IOR) era, the Santana 35 was conceived as a fast, competitive racer that didn't sacrifice the structural integrity required for offshore passages. Distinctive for its sleek, "flush deck" profile, the model broke away from the traditional trunk cabin aesthetic of its predecessor, the Santana 30, offering a modern, aggressive look that remains striking even decades after the last hull left the Corona, California, factory. While the builder, W.D. Schock, eventually shifted focus toward more contemporary daysailers like the Harbor 20, the Santana 35 remains a hallmark of their commitment to highperformance fiberglass construction.
