The Starlight 35 was an evolution of the extremely popular Starlight 39. Sharing the lines and appearance of her big sister the Stephen Jones designed Starlight 35 is a large yacht for 35’ and has proven a very capable offshore cruiser. Below decks the Jon Sherwill designed interior provides a modern and spacious living space, ideal for two couples cruising in comfort.

The London Boatshow 2000 display yacht CAPELLA of LORNE is the last of the Starlight 35’s to be moulded for Rival Bowman Yachts by Westerly Marine Construction.

Press Review:

‘The Sadler Starlight 35 has a reputation of being a tough, long-legged blue water cruiser with an above average sailing performance. She is built to last and her outstanding seakeeping qualities and well-balanced handling make her a delight to sail.’

Ducan Kent, ‘Sadler Starlight 35: a solid 35-footer’, Yachting Monthly, January 13th 2021.

Heading to her new home in Northern Ireland her new owners have an excellent weekend to get to grips with their new yacht. Set to be a regular visitor to the waters of the west coast we look forward to seeing them afloat later in the year.
