The Wauquiez Pretorien 35 represents a high-water mark for 1980s European yacht design, bridging the gap between traditional IOR-era aesthetics and the modern demand for robust offshore performance. Designed by the British firm Holman & Pye and built in Neuville-en-Ferrain, France, the Pretorien 35 earned a reputation as a "bulletproof" cruiser capable of transoceanic passage-making. 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 deep-V 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.
