Sunrise 35 Buyer's Guide
Shopping a Sunrise 35 on the brokerage market means taking a long look at a cutter from the yard Young Sun that began production in 1980, with design attribution varying by source on whether Robert H. Perry drew her. These are heavy cruisers with solid fiberglass hulls, long keels, and a teak-dense interior that rewards careful inspection of both structure and layout before you commit. A used Sunrise 35 typically shows her age in the details, so a thorough walkthrough is essential.
What to Inspect
The interior is where the Sunrise 35 will test a buyer. The saloon table sits across the path to the settee, so confirm you can live with stepping over it every time you settle in. Measure the gap at the navigation station: the corner of the nav table sits about 10 inches from the engine cover, and that sliver is all you get for access. Walk the doorway sequence from the head and from the passageway into the berth — several doors in a small footprint make the transit feel closed-in, and you should judge whether that bothers you underway. On deck and aloft, note the wood mast and boom if fitted; a timber spar should be checked for rot, finish integrity, and fastening condition distinct from an aluminum rig. Owners report hull laminate 1-3/8 inches thick at the bilge turn, so sound the hull there for thinning or repair. Also confirm the canoe stern and wide side decks are sound, and check the sturdy mast pulpits and hip-height safety lines for corrosion or movement.
