Equipment & upgrades

With the poise of a proven passagemaker, this two-owner Broadblue 435 is a refined evolution of the Broadblue 42, a contender in last year’s Boat of the Year competition, and it was engineered for the realities of bluewater life. In light air it truly shines, confidently making 7.7 knots in just 11 to 12 knots of true wind under full mainsail and a large reacher, delivering the steady progress every distance sailor prizes. Its 776 square feet of sail area are governed by a versatile, easy-to-manage cutter rig that opens up dependable storm and downwind combinations, ensuring adaptable cruising across changing conditions. At 43 feet (13.15 meters) length overall with a beam of 6.78 meters (22.24 feet) and a shallow 1.20 meters (3.94 feet) draft, it threads into tight harbors yet stretches its legs offshore with a reassuringly stable platform. Displacement is 10,500 kg (23,149 lbs), balanced for speed, comfort, and carrying capacity. Power comes from twin 40 HP diesel engines for reliable maneuvering and confident motoring when the breeze fades, supported by generous tankage with 132 gallons (500 liters) of fuel and 158 gallons (600 liters) of fresh water for extended autonomy. Built for serious ocean work, the hulls are solid fiberglass below the waterline, while the topsides and deck are glass-over-balsa core to combine strength, stiffness, and weight savings; watertight bulkheads further elevate safety at sea. Construction meets the highest European Union standards, carrying EU Category A (Ocean) certification with Lloyd’s-approved materials for enduring integrity and peace of mind offshore. On board, the accommodations are thoughtfully arranged for a couple who live aboard and roam far, with a spacious salon and a well-laid-out galley that make life at sea effortless, yet with ample room to welcome friends from time to time. As the only example of its kind available in the United States, this Broadblue 435 is a rare chance to own a light-wind thoroughbred and a true bluewater partner in one.
