{"product_id":"brewer-35-patina","title":"Brewer 35 - PATINA","description":"\u003cp class=\"isselectedend\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eLow maintenance. Safe. Manageable. Comfortable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003e These were clearly central considerations when PATINA’s original owners commissioned Ted Brewer to design this exceptional 35-foot cruising sailboat. The result is a compact, purpose-built offshore cruiser that combines the forgiving sailing characteristics of Brewer’s cutaway full keel and distinctive “Brewer Bite” with the strength, durability and repairability of an aluminum hull. Her 3\/16-inch 5086 aluminum construction, approximately 7,000 pounds of internal lead ballast, protected rudder and watertight collision bulkhead provide a level of structural security rarely found in a boat of this size. Just as importantly, PATINA was designed to be maintained and repaired by her owners. The bare aluminum deck and cabintop, welded mounting plates for nearly all deck hardware, excellent systems access and remarkably well-documented installations eliminate many of the maintenance challenges found on more conventional cruising boats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eHer 35-foot size was carefully chosen to be manageable by two people without sacrificing the comfort, storage or systems necessary for extended cruising. PATINA’s mechanical spaces are exceptional for a boat of her size, with excellent access to the engine, fuel system, refrigeration, water heater, holding tank and other critical systems. Her systems were selected and installed with an emphasis on simplicity, accessibility and redundancy, including both primary and backup autopilots, a Monitor windvane, substantial electrical capacity, solar charging and a comprehensive inventory of spare parts and tools. Detailed schematics and documentation accompany the installations, making the boat unusually approachable for an owner who intends to cruise rather than simply maintain a yacht.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eBelow decks, PATINA feels like a genuine cruising boat rather than a 35-foot boat trying to imitate a larger yacht. The Pullman berth, well-appointed U-shaped galley, excellent navigation station and functional head provide comfortable accommodations for a couple, while thoughtful storage is found throughout the interior. The cherry and maple interior is warm and practical, with modular joinery that can be removed for access to the hull and systems. Above deck, the spacious cockpit is protected by a hard dodger and tall coamings, while the large sail and chain locker, cockpit lockers and deck storage provide ample room for sails, cruising gear, spares and provisions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003ePATINA’s history reflects the purpose for which she was built. Her original owners cruised the Pacific Northwest and prepared her for extended offshore cruising. Her second owners continued cruising the Salish Sea before taking her south to Mexico for a season and subsequently returning her to Seattle. Since 2023, she has received an impressive program of maintenance and upgrades, including new electronics, solar and charging equipment, standing rigging, windlass and anchor chain, alternator, refrigeration, portlights and hatches, rudder bearings, pumps and numerous other systems.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003ePerhaps most importantly, PATINA is being offered as a true cruising package. Extensive spare parts, tools, maintenance supplies, emergency equipment, canvas, multiple anchors and rodes, offshore communications equipment and a remarkable assortment of cruising gear are included. She has been thoughtfully prepared, actively used and substantially updated. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swiftsure Yachts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48033811890339,"sku":null,"price":159000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6271\/5299\/files\/DSC_48442.jpg?v=1787422360","url":"https:\/\/swiftsureyachts.com\/products\/brewer-35-patina","provider":"Swiftsure Yachts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
