The Niagara 35: A Classic Cruiser Sailboat

When it comes to classic cruiser sailboats, the Niagara 35 stands out as a timeless beauty. Built in 1981, this pre-owned vessel offers a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and style. From its fiberglass hull to its sleek design, the Niagara 35 is a true gem on the waters.

Design and Construction

The Niagara 35 boasts a fin keel design with a maximum draft of 1.60 meters (5 feet and 3 inches), allowing for excellent stability and maneuverability. With a length overall of 10.69 meters (35 feet and 1 inch) and a beam width of 3.48 meters (11 feet and 5 inches), this sailboat offers ample space for both cruising and relaxing.

The interior of the Niagara 35 is thoughtfully designed, featuring double stainless steel sinks, hot and cold pressure water, and a newer water pressure pump. The cabin is equipped with a cabin fan for added comfort, along with an Adler Barbour refrigeration system for keeping your drinks cool on warm days.

Performance and Handling

Equipped with a sail drive system, the Niagara 35 offers smooth and efficient propulsion through the water. The sail area of 540 ft² provides ample power for cruising in various wind conditions, while the L.W.L (Length WaterLine) of 8.13 meters (26 feet and 8 inches) ensures good speed and stability.

For added convenience and safety, the Niagara 35 comes equipped with a range of electronic and electrical features. These include voltage and amperage monitoring, a Uniden MC535 VHF radio, a Raymarine 2000 wheel pilot, and a Pro Teck 3 bank 20 amp charger. Additionally, the sailboat features a Garmin map 541s GPS for easy navigation on the waters.

Additional Features and Equipment

When it comes to comfort and convenience, the Niagara 35 does not disappoint. The sailboat comes with a range of additional equipment, including woodwork in excellent condition, winch handles, and a Volvo MD11C 23 hp diesel engine for reliable power. The teak cockpit sole adds a touch of elegance, while the stern boarding ladder makes it easy to access the water.

For safety and peace of mind, the Niagara 35 is equipped with a heaving line, as well as oil and temperature alarms on the engine. Life jackets, a man overboard pole, and a horseshoe life ring are also included for added safety measures.
