The Thomas 35, also called the T-35, is an American sailboat that was designed by Graham & Schlageter as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1988.[1][2][3][4]
Production
The design was initially built by Thomas Marine of Arlington Heights, Illinois, starting in 1988 and later by Tartan Marine in Painesville, Ohio, United States , but it is now out of production.[1][3][5][6]
Design
The Thomas 35 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop, with some later production boats supplied with a masthead sloop rig instead. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 9,800 lb (4,445 kg) and carries 4,450 lb (2,018 kg) of lead ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 6.83 ft (2.08 m) with the standard keel.[1][3]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3GM diesel engine of 27 hp (20 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 35 U.S. gallons (130 L; 29 imp gal).[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for eight people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths and two additional upper pilot berths in the main cabin and two aft cabins with a single berths. The galley is located on the port side at the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and includes a shower. Cabin headroom is 74 in (188 cm).[1][3][7]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1]
The design has a hull speed of 7.4 kn (13.7 km/h).[3]
Operational history
The boat was named as Sailing World's Boat of the Year for 1990.[7]
