This is a very unique vessel. Mark Ellis design, built by Hinterhoeller in Canada, it is a blue water cruiser with space and comfort for long distance passages. The cabin, galley, and saloon layout offer spacious live aboard accommodations and privacy. She’s a proven and very capable vessel built for blue water. Very reliable Volvo Penta MD11C diesel and S110 Sail drive. The boat is Cutter rigged with runners and mast steps all the way to the top. Four sails. North Sails full battened main with 2 reef points in a very solid shape. 120% furling Genoa, solid, no rips. Staysail on hanks and storm jib. All sails need a good wash, due to their lack of use. The mainsail cover and the dodger canvas are good as a template only. Boat was hauled fall 2024 brand new bottom job with antifouling and anodes redone; all thru hull serviced ( two replaced). New Sail Drive S110 ( ordered from England -rebuild) with a new prop and new diaphragm/seal just installed in 2024. New Exhaust Elbow and Raw Water Pump. Mounted on the centerline is an Extremely reliable Dickinson antarctic diesel heater ( need service). In a bow is the sail locker and workshop. There are quarter berths with ventilation fans on each side and the companionway steps in between. There are custom teak framed screens on all deck hatches and the companionway. To starboard is the walk-thru head with shower. On center is a custom teak tool cabinet.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
The first NIAGARA 35 was shown at the 1978 Toronto International Boat Show. About half of the 260 hulls built at the St. Catharines Ont. plant went to the U.S.
The original interior has 2 quarterberths in a cabin just inside the companionway. The head and galley separate it from the main saloon which extends forward of the mast with the forepeak left as storage. In 1984, a second interior (The Encore) was in introduced. This featured a large double berth forward, separated from the main saloon by a head and shower. A u-shaped galley is located to port next to the companionway, with a quarterberth and nav station to starboard.
A Volvo 21-hp diesel was the standard auxiliary. Later, this was changed to a three-cylinder Volvo, or four-cylinder Westerbeke. The bowsprit was extended in 1985.
