Free State Yachts
The Rasmus 35 was designed by the leading Swedish designer of elegant yachts of the 1960s, Olle Enderlein. 760 boats were made between 1967 and 1978.The name "Rasmus" is German and means God of Winds. The design of the Rasmus 35 was in many ways ahead of its time. It was the first sailing yacht in the world with a windscreen. That made her centre cockpit very well protected, while keeping with elegant lines. All these important basic points, together with timeless lines makes this yacht pleasing still today and she will also be as attractive in 10 or 20 or 30 years from now. In other words, this is a genuine Hallberg-Rassy.
Here’s an opportunity to own well built, strong bluewater cruiser at an affordable price. Even today, its balance of classic and innovative design turns heads. This is a go-anywhere boat. The shallow draft means you can tuck into the most protected Chesapeake Bay harbors or round the globe as many Rasmus owners have done.
