Design

The Express 35 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 11,500 lb (5,216 kg) and carries 5,300 lb (2,404 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 6.50 ft (1.98 m) with the standard keel and 5.40 ft (1.65 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. The boat is fitted with an inboard engine.[1][4]

A tall mast version was also produced, with a mast about 1.8 ft (0.55 m) higher than standard.[1][5]

The design has a hull speed of 7.22 kn (13.37 km/h).[6]

gollark: You should write all the code backwards and wrap it in a `loadstring` and `reverse`.

gollark: You should copy random segments of code from potatOS to spice it up.
gollark: That is *such* a hexahedral policy, really.
gollark: NEVER!
