I'll be in Portland until May 4. Then I'll be heading to Astoria to race the Oregon Offshore (track us at www.oregonoffshore.org ), from Astoria to Victoria. After that I'll be cruising until mid August. email me, Dave if you want to meet to talk about 35 Mk III's.
Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR I'm not sure Alan's around much, but I'll chip in. There are some original tiller 35's. The cockpit is designed for a wheel so it's a little crowded with tiller, but the tiller gives you great cockpit space at anchor as well as better feel at the helm.

He's had Thirsty for a long time. With any luck he will even answer your original question about a tiller equipped 35 mk-3.

Keep the list informed on how you far out. And where do you sail from? Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.
