Overview The Tahitiana 35 is a robust and seaworthy sailing vessel designed for bluewater cruising. Originally inspired by John Hanna’s famous Tahitian Ketch, the Tahitiana 35 was developed as a steel-hulled version to provide increased durability and strength, making it an ideal choice for long-distance voyaging. First introduced in the 1970s, this 35-foot cutter-rigged sailboat has gained a solid reputation among sailors who value traditional lines, rugged construction, and dependable ocean-going performance. Design and Construction The Tahitiana 35 is a full-keel sailboat featuring a cutter or ketch rig configuration. It is known for its heavy-displacement hull, which enhances stability in rough seas. The boat’s design prioritizes self-sufficiency and comfort during extended offshore passages. With a steel hull, this vessel is far more resistant to damage compared to fiberglass alternatives, providing sailors with added security in challenging conditions. Specifications: Length Overall (LOA): 35 feet (10.67 m) Beam: Approximately 10 feet (3.05 m) Draft: 5 feet (1.52 m) Displacement: Around 10,000 - 12,000 kg (22,000 - 26,500 lbs) Hull Material: Steel Rigging: Cutter or ketch Keel Type: Full keel Sailing Performance The Tahitiana 35 is not designed for speed but rather for reliability and safety. Its full keel enhances directional stability and provides excellent tracking while reducing leeway. The cutter rig option allows for flexible sail configurations, making it easier to balance the boat in varying wind conditions. Though it may not accelerate as quickly as modern fin-keeled yachts, its predictable handling and heavy displacement ensure a smooth and steady ride. The boat performs exceptionally well in heavy weather, allowing sailors to undertake ocean crossings with confidence. Its ability to carry large quantities of supplies further supports its suitability for extended offshore adventures. Interior and Accommodation The interior of the Tahitiana 35 is designed for practicality and efficiency. Given its traditional design, the layout prioritizes safety and ease of movement rather than maximizing interior volume. Common Interior Features: Sleeping Arrangements: Typically accommodates 4-5 people with a forward V-berth, a settee berth, and additional bunks. Galley: Compact yet functional, featuring a stove, sink, and ample storage for provisions. Saloon: A comfortable space with a dining table and seating area. Head: A marine toilet with basic amenities. Storage: Designed for long voyages, with extensive storage for food, water, and equipment. Construction Strength and Maintenance One of the key advantages of the Tahitiana 35 is its steel hull, which offers superior resistance to impact and grounding compared to fiberglass or wooden hulls. However, steel boats require diligent maintenance to prevent rust and corrosion, particularly in saltwater environments. Regular inspections, proper painting, and cathodic protection are essential to prolong the vessel's lifespan. Ideal Usage The Tahitiana 35 is best suited for: Long-distance offshore cruising – Designed for ocean passages and extended voyages. Liveaboard lifestyle – Offers sufficient space and comfort for long-term living. Expedition and adventure sailing – Due to its rugged build and seaworthiness.

RIVAL 41 C ‘TEXION’The Rival 41C was designed by Peter Brett and built by the Southern Boatbuilding Company (Southampton, UK) to the highest quality and safety standards, Lloyds 100A1 class.The sail area versus displacement ratio suggests that the Rivel 41C will, in the right conditions, readily approach her maximum hull speed and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of cruising sailors.The ballast versus displacement ratio means that the Rival 41C will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves. A displacement vs length ratio tells us the Rival 41C is a heavy displacement cruising boat, you can load her down with all your cruising gear and equipment, and it will hardly affect the waterline.The comfort ratio of the Rival 41C in a seaway is excellent. Her motion through the waves is slow and predictable. The heeling is such that the decks stay dry, except for some splash water in caseof heavy seas. The capsize screening formula tells us that the Rival 41C is very safe for ocean passage sailing. The keel is incorporated in the S shaped bottom hull, which is a very safe design.To the owner’s experience, the best sailing performance of a Rival 41C is close to the wind,approx. 30°. In a blow of 7 Beaufort, with a reef in the main sail, she ploughs through the waves at the speed of 7,5 knots. Half-wind and downwind sailing with a backstay wind is very comfortable, with good speed and easy steering. Cruising downwind at 180°, she needs at least 10 knots of apparent wind to keep the course steady with the wind vane. Sailingdownwind in very light airs requires some attention, but the Code Zero sail will keep the yacht moving. It is the owner’s experience that a few degrees off course steering in this particular condition makes passage-making comfortable and easy.The present owner, for 28 years, made passages of more than 200 miles per day in a force 8-9, with speeds through the water between 6-11 knots in big waves. The steering remained very easy by hand, using the electronic autopilot or the wind vane. Despite high breaking waves, no water was coming on the deck, even not behind the aft cabin. She was not running off the rudder. There was no condition where the yacht couldn’t keep her course.Like a train on the tracks, the yacht remained on her rump line.The present owner bought the Rival 41C in 1995 from an English surgeon who maintained her meticulously. Since he acquired the yacht, he has made yearly investments in maintenance to the highest standards and upgrades: (1) new teak deck (2013), (2) new rigging and stow away mast (2013), (3) 220V generator, (4) complete set of Raymarine instruments and communication system, (5) all the electrics, wiring, switches and dashboard have been replaced, (6) a new Mitsubishi engine was installed in 2014 and again rebuilt in 2022, replacing all the gaskets and pumps, (7) an electric cooker was installed as well as (8) a 3-bladed feathering* VarioProp (9) a powerful bow thruster was installed and (10) new upholstery of the cushionsand seats. Every winter season, the yacht has been placed out of the water on the hard. All the cushions, sails, and ropes have been stored in a dry room during winter.This Rival 41 c is now berthed in Antwerp - Belgium. The Rival 41C Texion is very easy to sail; all the lines to manipulate the main sail and foresails are let to the cockpit. Unrolling and reducing sail area can therefore be done easily and safely.The Rival Texion sailed the Mediterranean, went around the UK, crossed the Atlantic Ocean,and sailed the last four years between the nine islands of the Azores. She was sailed back to Antwerp, without trouble from the Azores during summer 2024.The main remarkable aspects of the yacht are the safe cockpit, her beautiful shear lines, together with the quality of the gel coat of the rump, the cockpit and the deck without cracks. She looks great. When moored in a harbour, the yacht gets a lot of attention from sailors and people walking close by because of her immaculate state. A full specification sheet and a file with 87 photos are available upon request.
