The Hughes 35 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1977.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The Hughes 35 is a development of the North Star 1500, which was built by North Star Yachts prior to Howard Hughes re-acquiring the company in 1977. Both the Hughes 35 and the North Star 35 are variants of Sparkman & Stephens's design number 2166 as are the Aura A35 and the SHE 36.[1] [2] [5] [6]
The design was built by Hughes Boat Works in Canada, starting in 1977, but it is now out of production.[1] [2] [7] [8]
The Hughes 35 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a swept fixed fin keel. It displaces 120000NaN0 and carries 54000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [2]
The boat has a draft of 5.8feet with the standard keel.[1] [2]
The boat is fitted with an inboard engine for docking and manoeuvring and has a hull speed of 6.83kn.[2]
