Coronado 35
# 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 13,000 lb (5,897 kg) and carries 4,700 lb (2,132 kg) of ballast.

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard deep draft keel and 3.8 ft (1.2 m) 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. gallons (110 L; 24 imp gal) and the fresh water tank also has a capacity of 29 U.S. gallons (110 L; 24 imp gal).

The design has a hull speed of 7.03 kn (13.02 km/h).
