In the present very experienced ownership for 13 years, this Dehler 35 Cruising is a fast, powerful yet easily handled yacht. The interior is light and attractive and in remarkably good condition for her age, and she is well equipped for cruising. The hull has been cleaned off down to the epoxy coating ready for a choice of antifouling and relaunch. These yachts are definitely a cut above the more common production yachts both for sailing performance and build quality.

The Dehler 35 Cruising, sometimes referred to as the 35CR, was designed by Cees van Tongeren of the Van de Stadt design office. The yacht is a development of the 1988 onwards series of "CWS" or Central Winch System Dehler cruiser/racers, starting with the 36CWS. The original CWS yachts had a single large central electric winch in the cockpit. This worked well, but needed a certain amount of practice for the user to always have the right control line loaded on the one winch, and it was only practical because these earlier 36CWS yachts had a self-tacking headsail.

Built from 1996 to around 2001, the 35 Cruising has twin electric winches either side of the large dished wheel, with control buttons both forward of the wheel and on the console built into the "dished" wheel. These 35 foot Dehlers had a choice of shallow bulbed, deep bulbed, or very deep "torpedo" keels, this yacht having a deep lead bulbed keel, as shown on the plan at left.

The hulls and decks are GRP sandwich, with kevlar reinforcement in places, and the area around the keel is solid GRP. These Dehler 35s have a 7/8th fractional rig with a slightly overlapping headsail.

'Yachting Monthly' tested an early version of this Dehler 35 and reported ".... She is well-balanced, fast, light on the helm and has an easy well-damped motion" and ".... She is a delightful boat to sail and eminently capable of coastal or offshore cruising".
