 The Med for less

A yacht for cruising the Mediterranean? It sounds expensive but you don’t have to spend a fortune to cruise in the sun. In August’s YM James Jermain assesses a selection of contenders costing less than £35,000 and suggests what key features you should be looking for. Here are some extra comments and dimensions. To read more and discover what James’s first choice was in each category see the August issue.

Traditional cruisers Rival 34 Price: £23,000 to £32,000 Over the years the Rival 34 has developed a reputation as the definitive small blue-water cruising yacht. This is mainly because she is almost indestructible with a safe and workmanlike, rather than spacious accommodation. If getting to the Med worries you more than quality of life once there, this is a good choice. The high, full bow makes her dry and sea kindly and the long fin keel and substantial skeg give her good manners under sail. She cannot be accused of being quick although the deep fin-keel version is significantly better to windward than the shallow alternative. On long passages she is untaxing. The steering is well balanced and she will look after herself for long periods. The helm is light and the compact sail plan easily managed. The accommodation is cosy due to the narrow beam and little better than the Rival 32 on which she is based. Yet she can sleep up to seven, including five in the saloon plus a quarterberth and a two-berth forecabin. The saloon and the after part of the accommodation, the quarter berth, chart table and galley, are separated from the saloon by the distinctive Rival ‘keyhole’ bulkhead. The amidships heads is on the small side but stowage is excellent and headroom under the narrow coachroof is adequate. All the fittings on the Rival are substantial and designed to take the rough and tumble of offshore cruising. Rivals seem to go on forever with little more than an occasional cosmetic face-lift. LOA 10.38m (34ft), LWL 7.57m (24ft 10in), beam 2.94m (9ft 8in) draught 1.42m (4ft 8in) or 1.78m (5ft 10in), displacement 4,940kg (10,900 lb), sail area 41.2m2 (443sq ft).

Hallberg-Rassy Ramus 35/NAB 35 Price: £25,000 to £40,000 This is the forerunner of the Hallberg-Rassy range, which was launched in 1967 and remained in production until 1978. In the UK Reg Freeman fitted out Rasmus hulls to a very high standard and substantially similar layout as the NAB 35, all of which had wheelhouse cockpits. She is a heavily built, long-keeled, long-distance cruiser with a spacious interior laid out in a surprisingly modern way. The saloon is to port with the large galley and chart table along the starboard side. The main sleeping cabin is aft of the cockpit and accessed from a hatch behind the helm. This is less of a problem in the dry climate of the Med and keeps the sleeping and living areas well separated. The heads is large and the forecabin a useful guest cabin. She was offered in various versions including ketch or sloop, and wheelhouse or windscreen, and the interiors, though mainly in rather dark mahogany, were also produced in teak. She has superb stowage. Under sail she makes heavy going of a long beat but off the wind she is powerful and very easily handled. For Med cruising the large diesel is a bonus but the long keel does make handling under power in small harbours a bit nerve-wracking. The cockpit is a good size and very deep, giving good protection offshore. In the ketch version the mizzen makes a practical support for a bimini. LOA 10.67m (35ft), LWL 8.80m (28ft 9in), beam 3.02m (10ft), draught 1.37m (4ft 5in), displacement 6,090kg (13,440 lb), ballast 2,500kg (5,500 lb), sail area 46.37m2 (499sq ft)

Super Sovereign 35 Price: £30,000 to £40,000 Not many of these Holman & Pye offshore cruisers were launched but they are worth seeking out, particularly those built by JW & A Upham. She is a solidly built, well-fitted-out cruiser intended from the start to be a long-distance vessel. The doghouse-style deckline gives a spacious, well-lit interior with generous headroom in the key areas. She is a comfortable boat in a seaway and the ketch rig gives reasonable performance. Below decks she is laid out for easy use at sea but has the space to be comfortable in harbour too. The saloon was laid out in various ways but all had good stowage. The galley was secure and well fitted and there are up to six berths, depending on layout. LOA 10.67m (35ft) LWL 7.92m (26ft), beam 3.05m (10ft), draught 1.52m (5ft), displacement 7,417kg (16,352 lb)

Comfortable living Price: £32,000 to £38,000 At the top end of our price range, the Sun Odyssey 34 has a more performance-oriented hull than its Oceanis rivals and is, in some ways, an idiosyncratic, though innovative design. The hull reflects designer Daniel Andrieu’s work for the Half Ton Cup but the rig is moderate and easily handled, though still with plenty of power for those who find a generous turn of speed livens up their cruising. Below decks, she is one of the smallest boats to offer two heads compartments complete with showers. As a result the chart table is small and the galley, though large enough overall, is tucked away behind the companionway. The saloon has curved seating, which is comfortable during the day but not practical for sleeping on. There are, however, two roomy double cabins, one forward and one aft. A more conventional owner’s version with a single heads was also offered and would be more practical for our purposes LOA 9.98m (32ft 7in), LWL 8.04m (26ft 4in), beam 3.50m (11ft 5in), draught 1.90m (6ft 2in), displacement 4,700kg (10,362 lb), ballast 1,300kg (2,860lb)

Dufour 35 Price: £22,000 to £35,000 Michel Dufour was never afraid to go out on a limb and this is about as far from the trunk in terms of appearance as you can get, particularly for the 1970s when she was a bestseller. Not strikingly beautiful, maybe, but she is hugely spacious with full headroom, even under the semi-flush decks. She is substantially built and heavy with generous ballast. The extensive use of internal mouldings makes her a little stark below decks, but the interior is full of interesting and effective detail. The cleverly thought out galley, chart table and quarterberth are partially separated from the rest of the accommodation by a full height bulkhead. The saloon is large and contains a single and convertible double dinette plus a pilot berth. The forecabin has an offset double. Stowage is adequate. This boat was designed for serious passage making as well as Mediterranean living. Performance is good despite her weight as she sets a plenty of sail. She is comfortable offshore and her high topsides make her dry in high seas. The vast majority of these boats stayed in France and of all the boats in this group, this is perhaps the one to look for ‘on site’, not because she can’t make the passage, but because there are more bargains. LOA 10.75m (35ft 3in), LWL 8.50m (27ft 10in), beam 3.48m (11ft 4in), draught 1.84m (6ft), displacement 6,300kg (13,860 lb), ballast 2,600kg (5,720 lb), sail area 72m2 (775sq ft)

Moody 33 Price: 25,000 to £33,000 Angus Primrose shocked the sailing world when he launched this ugly duckling of a boat in 1973. Observers said it would never sail but they were wrong. They said you could never fit that amount of space in a boat and make it work. They were wrong. Her after cabin layout (with access via the cockpit) made her very popular with families, as did the huge saloon with its large dinette facing a longitudinal galley. The chart table is small. With plenty of volume in the ends both the sleeping cabins are spacious, as is the heads between saloon and forecabin. The after cabin has two single bunks and is ideal for children with generous stowage of its own. Despite the innovative design, the décor was very 70s and the imitation teak laminate and plastic mouldings have dated and may need some refurbishment. The bolted bulkheads have also developed a tendency to move. Under sail the Moody 33 is no race winner and windward performance in a heavy sea is not good. But off the wind in a good breeze she bowls along with the best of cruisers. The cockpit is deep and well protected and the wheel is light and responsive provided she is not over canvassed. A MkII version from 1978 had a longer after cabin coachroof and a bigger saloon. An aft-cockpit version appeared briefly in 1979, which had an even more roomy interior and all three were replaced by the Moody 333 in 1980 which used the same hull but had a walk-through to the after cabin, a better chart table and L-shaped galley. All can be found for under £35,000. LOA 10.06m (33ft), LWL 8.69m (28ft 5in), beam 3.51m (11ft 5in), draught 1.35m (4ft 4in), displacement 4,765kg (10,505 lb), ballast 1,1734kg (3,815 lb), sail area 42m2 (452sq ft)

Something different

Voyager 35 Price: £33,000 to £40,000 Another take on the wheelhouse theme, this time with a full, fixed keel, is the Trident Voyager 35 by Angus Primrose/Bill Dixon. The long deck saloon covers not only the internal steering position and the galley but also the after end of the saloon, which is on the same level. She had a long production run beginning in the mid-1970s when she was regarded as ahead of her time. Early interiors had dated plastic finishes and a face-to-face dinette but later models from the 1990s were more or less custom-made to much higher standards. They tended to have a more conventional saloon arrangement with an L-shaped dinette and a settee. The cockpit is a good size and very well protected. She is a good offshore cruiser with go-anywhere handling and moderate performance. Many have sailed long distances. Most early boats were sold as mouldings for home or professional completion. Trident later did most of the fitting out themselves. LOA 10.70m (35ft), LWL 8.00m (26ft 3in), beam 3.20m (10ft 6in), draught 1.52m (5ft), displacement 5,600kg (12,320 lb), ballast 2,318kg (5,110 lb), sail area 41m2 (440sq ft).

Westerly 33 Price: £27,000 to £35,000 The predominantly ketch-rigged Westerly 33 from 1977 is a solid family cruiser and another with a completely separate after cabin which is ideal for children or couples who want to separate sleeping and living quarters. The ketch rig has limited advantages from the performance point of view but the sail plan is very easily handled and the mizzen is an excellent place from which to hang all sorts of cruising kit – from biminis to radar and wind generators. She came with bilge or fin keels, the latter being more suitable for the Mediterranean unless a canal transit is planned. The after cabin is quite small but has full-length bunks. The main accommodation had a good saloon which feels very open thanks to the two straight settees either side of a central table. The galley is well fitted, but the outboard-facing chart table is a bit awkward. The forecabin is broad with a large double. The heads is to one side amidships with two hanging lockers opposite. Stowage throughout the boat is excellent and the woodwork typical of Westerly’s chunky style. Under sail, the 33 is pedestrian but safe and easily handled. Sloop-rigged versions are a little quicker. In 1980 she evolved into the Discus with walk-through access to the after cabin and an aft cockpit option. LOA 10.15 (33ft 3in), LWL 8.69m (28ft 5in), beam 3.44m (11ft 3in), draught 1.67m or 1.34m (5ft 5in or 4ft 4in), displacement 6,516kg (14,336 lb), ballast 2,700kg (5,940 lb)

First 345 Price: £33,000 to £40,000 As an antidote to the worthy but dull performance of some boats here, there are some cruiser racers which also make good Med cruisers, and the First 345 is one of them. Despite her sporty heritage, she was in some ways a forward-looking boat in that her interior had been designed partly with the Mediterranean charter market in mind. For this reason she had a modern feel below decks with an open saloon, large chart table and effective galley. They were built with one or two after cabins and the heads was sized to fit. The forecabin was on the narrow side and stowage throughout could not match that of, say, the Westerly 33. Under sail, though, she is delightfully well mannered and light on the helm. Performance up wind is her strong point but she is also better than average with the wind free as well. In stronger winds she needs to be reefed quite early or she gets heavy on the helm. LOA: 10.50m (34ft 8in), LWL 8.90m (29ft 2in), beam 3.50m (11ft 6in), draught 1.45m or 1.90m (4ft 9in or 6ft 2in), displacement 5,500kg (12,100 lb), ballast 2,114kg (4,651 lb), sail area 64m2 (690sq ft)

Heavenly Twins Built from 1971 to the mid-1990s, this was the ultimate small ocean-crossing cat, which built up a huge reputation for seaworthiness and good accommodation, albeit at the expense of performance. Off the wind in a decent blow, however, these boats could give a good account of themselves. Designer Pat Paterson made some remarkable passages in one of the early, 26ft models. Over the years the boat grew by a foot and was improved in numerous ways. Later HTs still fetch big sums but older versions are well within our budget. The feature of the boat is the deep, well-protected central cockpit and the two large double after cabins, which in some versions were merged into one huge cabin. In early boats these were accessed through the cockpit but this was later modified to a walk-through. In the forward section is a large saloon, which can also sleep two. The heads is in one hull with the extensive navigation area and the galley is in the other. Headroom is good in the hulls. The rig is low aspect and easily managed. She was rigged as a sloop or a cutter and had long, shallow moulded keels. LOA 8.00m (26ft 2in), LWL 6.60m (21ft 6in), beam 4.20m (13ft 9in), draught 0.60m (2ft), displacement 4,072kg (8,960 lb)

Comanche 32 Price: £25,000 to £30,000 This is the larger sister to Macalpine-Downie’s popular Iroquois and a much more spacious and capable cruiser. By modern standards she has a sleek, low profile and a narrow beam. Most had stub keels but a few were built with centreboards. They were originally sold with single or twin outboards but many have been converted to twin diesels. The accommodation offered two small double cabins in each stern, a single in one bow and a heads in the other. The saloon was spacious and converted into a large double. The chart table was on the bridge deck. Headroom on the bridge deck was 1.78m (5ft 10in) and in the hulls 2.00m (6ft 6in). LOA 9.80m (32ft 2in), LWL 8.75m (28ft 9in), beam 4.21m (13ft 10in), draught 0.96m (3ft 2in).

Voyager 35 (Primrose)

Voyager 35 (Primrose) is a 35 ′ 0 ″ / 10.7 m monohull sailboat designed by Angus Primrose and built by Trident Marine Ltd. starting in 1972.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Trident Marine produced three variations of the same Angus Primrose designed 35 foot hull, the WARRIOR (centre cockpit), CHALLENGER (aft cockpit) and VOYAGER (pilothouse) versions.

Review of Voyager 35

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat is equipped with one cabin, 6 berths, a galley, 303.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

The Voyager 35 is equipped with a long keel. A full keel provide a better directional stability than a similar boat with a fin keel; on the other hand, better directional stability means also that the boat is more difficult to handle in a harbour with less space.

The keel is made of iron. Many people prefer lead keel in favour of iron. The main argument is that lead is much heavier than iron and a lead keel can therefore be made smaller which again result in less wet surface, i.e. less drag. In fact iron is quite heavy, just 30% less heavy than lead, so the advantage of a lead keel is often overstated.

The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.52 - 1.62 meter (4.99 - 5.29 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Voyager 35 is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta 2003 T diesel engine at 43 hp (32 kW). Calculated max speed is about 7.1 knots

The transmission is a shaft drive. A shaft drive will in the long run require less maintenance than other types of drive e.g. a sail drive.

The fuel tank has a capacity of 151.0 liters (39 US gallons, 33 imperial gallons).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Voyager 35 is 1.81, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.8 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Voyager 35 is about 169 kg/cm, alternatively 947 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 169 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 947 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 19m 2 (204 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

If you need to renew parts of your running rig and is not quite sure of the dimensions, you may find the estimates computed below useful.

What is the Trident Voyager 35 sailboat like to sail?

Based on Published Design Ratios for the Trident Voyager 35:

Her Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of just 13.2 suggests that the Voyager 35 will need a stiff breeze to get her going. In light conditions, unless you've got plenty of time on your hands, motor-sailing may be the way to go.

Her Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 314 means that the Voyager 35 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.

Her Displacement/Length Ratio of 314 tells us the Voyager 35 is clearly a heavy displacement cruising boat. You can load her down with all your cruising gear and equipment and it will hardly affect her waterline. Not an ideal choice for coastal sailing, but she'll come into her own on an offshore passage in testing conditions.

Trident voyager 35.

Description

We are very pleased to offer for sale this stunning Trident Voyager 35. Carefully owned by the current owners and having had around £90,000 spent on it in their ownership, this is offered at a great price and the boat is ready for launch having just been prepared, including: new antifouling, hull polished and new anodes.

The current owners purchased this yacht in August 2014 and over that following winter & spring (2014 & 2015) an expensive refit was undertaken by Fox's Workshop and Marina. The refit was undertaken to make the boat easier to handle with a crew of one or two. An overview of this refit and more recent upgrades include:

New bow thruster New sea cocks New electric windlass Complete new mast New standing rigging, running rigging New furling genoa and in-mast furling mainsail New main winch for centralised sail handling New Raymarine suite of instruments and sensors including radar, AIS and both passive and active radar target enhancers New iCom VHF radio with access in cabin and cockpit Regular service of the Volvo Penta 2003T, 43hp engine (engine laid up during Covid period) Fuel tank emptied and cleaned Complete rewire of both 240V and 12V electrics Replacement of most electrical components Solar panel on stainless-steel arch New batteries TV and stereo fitted New water system New toilet system New life raft (next inspection due 7 June 2025) New Eberspacher heater fitted in 2017 but never used.

There are several home-made items onboard that are designed to make life even easier - especially for short-handed boat handling, including heavy duty mooring lines for use when alongside and when at anchor or on a swinging mooring.

Trident Voyager 35 - Details

Fully refitted and ready to go. The Long Keel, Deck Saloon, Trident Voyager, designed by Angus Primrose and built by Trident Marine is a solidly built cruising yacht with many of the advantages of a motor sailer but with excellent sailing qualities. This early example, built in 1978, has been extensively restored over the last three years including a new Mercedes Diesel engine, new instruments, new sails, new rigging, new fuel tank, etc. etc. Ready for serious sailing, the only significant restoration left to do is cosmetic work to the hull and superstructure. Set up for single handing with roller reefing genoa and single line two point slab reefing main and a cruising speed of up to 8 knots, she would make an ideal long distance cruiser for a couple. The wheelhouse helm has been replaced by the autohelm remote control to give a much improved nav station space.

Accommodation:

V berths with infill forward. 1 Double berth and 1 single berth in saloon/wheelhouse. Heads with shower.

2 burner stove with grill and oven. Fridge (70 watt 12 volt DC). Sink and drainer, hot water (gas) and cold water (with filter). Microwave (230v). Solar Powered Ventilator.

Roller genoa 2005, good condition. Main, 2005, single line 2 reef, good condition (new single line reefing boom), lazyjacks and stack pack. Cruising Chute, unknown age, in good condition.

Instruments:

Radar. Chart Plotter. Navtex. Wind speed and direction. Depth. Speed/log. Rudder indicator. Clock. Barometer.

Electrical System:

12 volt. Shore power. Wind generator. 1 KW inverter. 220 volt heater. Portable petrol generator.

TV/DVD. Radio/CD player. Remote control Autopilot. DSC VHF. Four person liferaft. Four Lifejackets. Dinghy and 4 HP 4 stroke Yamaha outboard. 1 manual bilge pump. 2 electric bilge pumps (1 manual, 1 automatic). Bow-thruster.

Additional Info:

Built on the same hull as the Trident Warrior and Challenger, these yachts are well sought after as long distance cruisers and have a strongly built go anywhere reputation. Fitted with davits, boarding ladder at stern, 6 roller fairleads, Aquaprop drive and a Brunton Propellor. Fitted with a bow-thruster for easy manoeuvring in the close confines of a marina. She is not fitted with a holding tank but space is available to fit one. Fully refitted, she is in sail away condition.

Trident 35 Information needed

• Add to quote

Hello and good day everyone. I am in need of any information about a Trident Marine Warrior 35. No one seems to know much about this boat built overseas. I am unable to find this boat in NADA or the BUC books. I appreciate anything you may have. Jeremy  

Try a search on google.com for "Trident Marine" "warrior 35". I looked at a couple of the sites returned (mostly current owners) and they give rave reports about this boat E.g. "Designed by Angus Primrose, they are regarded as safe, reliable and steady passage makers. Time has proved the design to be one of the best ocean going yachts available." I also saw a note that said they were available as "part built - ready for home completion" Jonathan  

The Warrior 35 was built by Trident Marine in the UK. I think it is no longer in production. Trident''s mainstay is the Warrior 40MkIIa and a deck saloon version called Voyager 40. They also build the Scanyacht 290, a long keel wheelhouse cruiser. The 35 was a popular yacht and second hand models are from time to time available. eg 1979 35s are selling for 30 to 35000 gbp. See Yachting Monthly. Trident Marine can be contacted at: Cranleigh Road, Porchester, Fareham, Hampshire PO16 9DR. England. Tel. 44(0)1329 231456 e-mail: [email protected] Int: www.tridentmarine.co.uk Paul Burns is the contact at Trident Marine who can provide vessels at various stages of build. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Ron Riley

Trident Marine Warrior 35 (Primrose)

• Thread starter Murt
• Start date 24 Nov 2022
• 24 Nov 2022

Hi all, I'm brand new to this form and am looking for design documents for a Warrior 35 built by Trident Marine, designed by Agnus Primrose. Built in 1973. I bought her in August of this year and am currently upgrading her. I intend to fit her out as a live aboard in the next years. Because of this I would like to have the design documents so that any changes made will not impact on her design and structure. Kind regards, Murt.

Hello and Welcome Unless you are very lucky I very much doubt such documents exist or would be publically available. If there is a Warrior 35 Association they might know. Both of the boats I have owned from the 1970's and 80's don't even have a sales brochure. Good luck with your hunt.

Hi Murt I assume you have seen these guys? In an early episode I think they met a Trident Warrior expert who completely stripped and rebuilt one. He has his own channel but I cant remember the details https://www.youtube.com/@SailingCadoha  

I think @BobnLesley might have a Warrior 35? As others have said, I'd be surprised if official drawings can be found. But for what you're planning, it's usually fairly straightforward to work out which bulkheads are structural- the important points being anything that holds up the rig, usually via a mast compression post and chain plates. I wouldn't mess with those at all.

I presume you've seen this page Warrior 35 archive details - Yachtsnet Ltd. online UK yacht brokers - yacht brokerage and boat sales Other than that, I recall an article in PBO years ago where they asked the owner of one what she was like going astern. "Oh, she does what she wants and we pretend we meant it"  

I'd caution against making too many changes to fitted joinery - refitting a boat is not the same as doing up a house. Some people have totally stripped hull interiors and basically wrecked the boat forever, as they grossly underestimated the amount of work involved in properly refitting new bulkheads to a curved space.

Have you considered changing your expectations rather than the boat? They were designed to live aboard and by all accounts are excellent cruising boats. I would suggest any change will be for the worse in this regard. If you make more space you remove storage. Add appliances and increase power needs, meaning more time at the fuel dock. Read the book “get real, get gone” it’s a real eye opener! That said, if by “liveaboard” you mean cheap slum in Brighton marina then consider a different boat and leave this one for the cruisers.  

Murt said: Lol, yes there is more than a bit of that when going astern but not quite out of control. You just need to start from a distance. (NM) That is the page that gave me a glimmer of hope that something may be found on this wonderful INTERNET of ours. Kind regards, Murt. Click to expand...

Tranona said: Many of the boats were home completed so there is a lot of variation in the detailed fitout. However the two bulkheads either side of the mast are both structural and should not be altered. The space in between the main bulkhead and the aft bulkhead to the cockpit, that is the saloon/galley/chart table was often changed. The one in the Yachtsnet review is the standard one as Primrose deigned it, and very similar to the Moody 33 which was his next production boat (although otherwise very different type). The Warrior layout set the standard for liveaboard cruising boats from UK builders (Moody, Westerly, Colvic etc) for the following 10 years or so and still has a lot going for it, despite the fact that in this hull form it results in rather cramped accommodation. Would urge you not to mess about with it too much. It is what it is and difficult to see what you could do to improve it as a long term long distance cruising boat. Click to expand...

OK. As already hinted at I doubt you will find the original drawings. The design dates from the dying days of the Illingworth and Primrose partnership. You can see the similarity between the lines and those of Gypsy Moth and several of the one off racers such as Outlaw with the short waterline and cutaway forefoot. These had a bit of a reputation for being a bit of a handful downwind because of the lack of buoyancy aft and the rudder forward. Suspect that this is masked in the Warrior by the small sail area, particularly the main. In case you don't have it this is a link to the sailboatdata page sailboatdata.com/sailboat/warrior-iii-primrose which shows the low SA/Disp and above average Disp/WL. Figures like this were considered proper for a "blue water" cruiser at the time, although actual sail area would be greater because most would have large overlapping genoas. Never seen one with a bowsprit or cutter rig so presumably weather helm is not a big issue and there are ways of getting decent sails within the standard rig. However it could well be that some were built with taller masts as the displacement and ballast ratio suggests it could carry more sail. You have probably noticed in the yachtsnet review a sketch of the lines. I suspect this comes from a magazine article from back then. It was common for Yachting Monthly to publish analysis of designs when they were introduced and Angus was a regular contributor then. Not sure how you would find out as the back copy service has been dead for years. Hope this helps and good luck with your project.  

Hi @Murt , I have a late Voyager 35, same hull but different lid. Standard boat had the same rig as the Warrior. However, my boat was fitted out for long term/offshore cruising. It has a custom rig, twin spreader mast that may be a few centimetres taller than standard and cutter rig with jib on a short platform bowsprit. Interior bulkheads and semi-bulkheads around the mast step as standard and looks similar to the Warrior. As my working sail area is probably a bit bigger than standard (although Primrose did draw a cutter rig to the stemhead without bowsprit) and my rig is heavier than standard you could increase the sail area a bit. Have sent you a PM re copies of brochures.

History of Samara Oblast

The territory of the present Samara region became part of the Russian state in the middle of the 16th century, after the Kazan and Astrakhan khanates were conquered by the Russian state. In the 17th-18th centuries, the territory around the middle Volga was colonized by migrants from other regions of Russia and foreigners (in particular, the Volga Germans).

The intensified colonization of the region began only in the second half of the 18th century. From the mid 19th century, this region experienced economic growth. Samara became an important center of the Russian domestic grain market, which led to the development of trade and industry in the city. In 1851, Samara became the center of Samara guberniya (province).

In 1935, Samara was renamed into Kuybyshev (the historical name was returned in 1990). In Soviet times, industrialization had a serious impact on the development of the region. Construction of plants producing explosives, poisonous substances and ammunition began in the town of Chapayevsk.

During the Second World War, the region became one of the centers of the defense industry of the USSR. In 1941, an oil processing plant was put into operation in Syzran providing the army with fuel. Several aviation plants were evacuated to Kuybyshev from Moscow and Voronezh. They started production of “Il-2” attack aircraft.

More Historical Facts…

In 1942, a railway passed through Syzran to supply Soviet troops during the Stalingrad Battle. In 1941-1943, diplomatic missions of foreign countries to the USSR were located in Kuybyshev (Samara). In 1941, there were plans for transferring the capital of the country to Kuybyshev in case the German troops capture Moscow.

In the 1950s-1960s, this region was one of the leading centers of oil extracting in the USSR. In 1945-1951, Kuybyshev and Novokuybyshev oil processing plants were built. At the same time, construction of Zhiguli hydroelectric power station was resumed. It was put into operation in 1955. Because of this construction, the town of Stavropol was flooded and was rebuilt in a new place and received a new name - Tolyatti.

Later, the construction base created during the construction of Zhiguli hydroelectric power station was used to create a series of other large industrial enterprises in Tolyatti - “KuybyshevAzot” mineral fertilizer plant, “Tolyattikauchuk” synthetic rubber plant (1964-1966), the Volga Automobile Plant (1970), and the largest in the country and the world manufacturer of ammonia “TolyattiAzot” (1979).

At the same time, aviation production was expanded. Kuibyshev Aviation Plant began production of the most mass Soviet passenger medium-haul aircraft Tu-154. The Soviet rocket space program orders were also fulfilled at this plant (“Progress” rockets).

In the post Soviet period, due to saved economic potential, Samara oblast has become one of the main economic centers of the country.
