The Wauquiez Pretorien 35 represents a highwater mark for 1980s European yacht design, bridging the gap between traditional IORera aesthetics and the modern demand for robust offshore performance. Designed by the British firm Holman & Pye and built in NeuvilleenFerrain, France, the Pretorien 35 earned a reputation as a "bulletproof" cruiser capable of transoceanic passagemaking. Production ran from approximately 1979 to 1986, with about 212 units produced. The boat is characterized by its significant use of solid fiberglass laminates, a deepV entry, and a high ballast ratio that makes it exceptionally stiff in a blow. Unlike many of its contemporaries that utilized balsa or foam cores in the hull to save weight, Wauquiez opted for a heavier, more durable construction method that has allowed these vessels to age with remarkable grace.
