Coronado 35

The Coronado 35 is an American sailboat that was designed by William H. Tripp Jr. as a cruiser and first built in 1971.

The Coronado 35 design was developed into the Portman 36 in 1978 and later into the Watkins 36 and the Watkins 36C.

Development
The Coronado 35's hull is mostly likely derived from the moulds used for the 1970 vintage, Tripp-designed Columbia 34 Mark II, which were also used for the Hughes 36 and the Hughes-Columbia 36.

Production
The design was built by Coronado Yachts in the United States between 1971 and 1976, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Coronado 35 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a center-cockpit ketch rig or an optional masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a raised transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 13000 lb and carries 4700 lb of ballast.

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft with the standard deep draft keel and 3.8 ft with the optional shoal draft keel.

The boat is fitted with a Palmer P-60 gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 29 u.s.gal and the fresh water tank also has a capacity of 29 u.s.gal.

The design has a hull speed of 7.03 kn.
