Old thread, that I wasn't aware of. I own a SC 35 since 7 years back and have been living onboard and cruising full time ever since.(2 people onboard)
Please feel free to ask me anything.... Sailed her about 15000 miles by now.
Great build, solid as a rock. Heavy boat but moves nicely in light air despite that. High aspect rig a big part of that I believe.
Straight shaft with the stern tube through the substantial skeg. Shaft is about 7'/2mtrs long in
bronze.
Port
salon bunk slides out to a double with the table folded. Quite clever solution that comes with a quarter bunk behind chart table port side. Some of them have no quarter bunk together with an aft facing chart table. Gorgeous
wood work and joinery through out. State of art in fact.
At 6'1" I find every piece of
gear in the
cockpit to be exactly at the right spot and angle! Perhaps Mr Gillmer was my length. It's a superb
classic passage maker. Another plus in this part of the world is that the
shallow draft (5') allows us to
anchor where few keelboats dare to venture.
Mine is unfortunately
for sale ( see ad at sailboatlistings.com) due to
family issues. It is in
French Polynesia with
import tax paid and on it's own private
mooring in the best cyclone hole of the area.
