1972 Hallberg-Rassy Ramus 35 center cockpit

Designed for long distance cruising the Rasmus 35 has numerous circumnavigations to her credit and remains a practical choice for extended voyaging and local cruising alike. Considered Hallberg-Rassy's first production sailboat, the Rasmus 35 was well ahead of her time and with 760 hulls produced, one of the most popular models to come from the legendary Swedish boat builder. The high quality build and thoughtful design are evident throughout Topaz. She has been well maintained and has withstood the test of time, showing remarkably well for a boat of her vintage. With all systems operational, ample storage and accommodations for six across three mahogany lined cabins, Topaz is ready to carry you across the waves on adventures far and wide.
