About
The ARAGOSA 35 follows her 38 sister and is of the same family of radius bilge steel hulled yachts designed for cruising comfort and performance. The hull shape closely resembles a round bilge hull and at first glance, one would expect her to have been built from fibreglass. Ted Brewer aficionadas will recognize her as Brewer Design #212.
Construction is solid with closely spaced longitudinal stringers on widely spaced athwartships frames, forming a strong grid to resist collisions or grounding. Having been professionally built and finished by Aragosa Yachts in Ontario, her fit and finish is absolutely superb.
The accommodations of the 35 offer ample room for the cruising family or for a couple with guests. Storage is generous and the necessities, such as a roomy head, a wet locker and a good navigation area, have not been forgotten.
The spacious U shaped galley features a deep double sink, large ice box (or refrigerator) and ample stowage for dishes and supplies. A fixed, drop-leaf cabin table has good seating for the crew and additional storage for cutlery, condiments, etc.
The deep cockpit gives good protection to the crew in adverse weather and wide side decks offer a safe working platform for sail changes.
Her tall double-spreader cutter rig with inside chainplates provides drive for the long waterline hull. Below water, the NACA fin with end plates assures good windward ability, while generous beam, firm bilges and a solid ballast ratio supply the necessary stability so she can stand up to a good breeze.
All in all, the yachtsperson looking for a good performing steel auxiliary cruiser would do well to consider this beautiful and capable Aragosa 35.
