Sirius 35 DS Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used market for a Sirius 35 DS means looking at a 2010-launched deck saloon that was the first of the builder’s modern range, conceived to deliver the volume of a 40-footer in a 35-foot hull. These are German-built cruisers with a split-level interior and a raised salon, offered in two-, four-, or six-berth layouts with one or two heads, and a buyer should understand the variants before chasing a specific boat.
Layouts on the Used Market
The signature split-level plan drops the galley, heads, and private cabins below a deck-level lounge that wraps the viewer in near-panoramic glass. In the two-berth version the entire forecabin forward of the mast bulkhead is given over to a large bed and a pull-out sofa with opposite shelf and television space. The four-berth layout tucks the owner’s cabin amidships, half beneath the seating, with a full-width double. Because the aft cabin was deleted for a utility and storage space reached by sliding the saloon seat forward, every example carries a dedicated workshop unusual on a boat this size.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Used boats will vary, but the consequential factory equipment centers on power, sail handling, and self-sufficiency. The standard Volvo Penta D2-40 or the listed D2 50 diesel drives a saildrive with folding prop through a double cooling system, and tankage starts at 150 liters diesel, 220 liters water, and 138 liters holding with displays and dockside pump-out. Sail handling is built around a self-tacking jib and a two-spreader rig with in-boom single-line reefing; a performance rig with 23 percent more cloth was a quoted option for those wanting pace.
What to Inspect
A survey should focus on the as-built specifics. The keel is attached with up to ten 20 mm stainless bolts through flat-rolled steel and carries about 2.6 tonnes of cast iron or an optional lead bulb, so check the keel-to-hull fastenings and any signs of movement closely. The hull is hand-laid GRP with vacuum-adhered sandwich above the waterline and a fully laminated hull-deck joint, and the hull-deck connection and bulkheads being laminated from all sides is a point to confirm visually for previous repair. With the saildrive and folding propeller, inspect the diaphragm and gearbox for wear per hours.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Buyers should simply search widely for used Sirius 35 DS yachts. For a used 35 DS, confirm the berth count and head arrangement you want, verify the keel type matches your cruising draft, and have the workshop and engine access exercised during survey. Check the tank displays and overboard systems operate, and confirm the rigging option fitted. A short checklist:
- Decide two-, four-, or six-berth layout and head count
- Match keel option to draft needs (deep fin to lifting)
- Inspect keel bolts and hull-deck lamination
- Verify saildrive, folding prop, and tank systems
- Confirm self-tacking jib and reefing rig condition
