Description
This well cared for 1978 Niagara 35 is a timeless and robust cruiser designed by Mark Ellis and built by Hinterhoeller Yachts in Canada, with approximately 260 hulls produced between 1978–1990. Below decks she unfolds into a comfortable living space with generous beam (11′-5″) delivering volume uncommon in this size. The teak joinery adds classic elegance, and her dual-cabin layout (or later “Encore” layout) suits couples or small crews. On the water she performs with confidence: reviewers describe her as stable, stiff and capable of 8+ knots even in 20-knot winds.
With a masthead sloop rig, fin keel and spade rudder, this boat offers performance that belies her cruising focus. She appeals to sailors who want a capable passage-boat that still provides onboard comfort for weekends or longer voyages. The owners have converted PAILLARD with a cutter rigging, offering even more controlled performance on big water, higher wind conditions.
