Overview

The Baba 35 hunkers down in heavy air, cutting through the waves with such stability you'll feel safe even if taking water over the rail. She's unexpectedly fast and agile; with a hull speed of 7 and registering 8.1 on the GPS on occasion, and with the modified full keel she has a surprisingly small turning radius. Her prop is skeg protected, which minimizes risk of damage from crab pots or underwater debris. A Robert Perry design, she's a real head turner, drawing compliments from the dock and on the water, cutting an elegant profile whether flying three sails or two. Her teak exterior trim is professionally maintained, as are all her systems, and she comes with an original Ta Shing dinghy.

The teak interior is brightened by a butterfly hatch and cream colored crown and headliner. The wrap around galley stabilizes the chef while heeling, and her comfy v-berth has doors for privacy when needed. She has built-in air conditioning/reverse cycle heat for use at the dock and a propane heater for use underway in winter. Since she reportedly came from the factory with fiberglass decks, her interior hasn't suffered the wear and tear of excessive water intrusion so common in boats that have teak decks removed.

If you are looking for a truly classic sailing yacht, you owe it to yourself to see this Baba. But be forewarned; you'll fall in love!
