Hi Shawn,
The ad identifies her as a 35 mk-2 and only $30,000.
Nice set-up for extended B.C. coastal cruising with solar panels,
water maker and Solent jib. The Solent jib is a good choice for
short-handed cruising but a PITA for tacking the genoa if it can't be
moved aft (not practical with the furler on it). The dodger is okay
and most coastal cruiser like them. I don't as a personal preference
(mostly 'cause they're ugly and impair good visibility while sailing.
No stability issues with any of that, or the big honking anchor on
the bow. And you will sleep well in a blow. :)
The older marinized VW diesels are known for cracked head issues but
since it is only operating at 50% load at max (check the prop size)
it likely doesn't get hot enough to suffer at the head, but continuos
running at low load can lead to carbon buildups (sticky rings & valve
problems).
For a well found cruiser that appears ready to go I think $30 grand
is a bargain.
Cheers, Russ

Hello,
I am considering a '74 36' mk2, with several modifications, and I am
curious about how they might affect the boat in terms of suitability
for coastal cruising (BC coast) and possibly a trip around Vancouver
Island. Perhaps some here are familiar with the boat 'Callisto' which has:
Twin furlers rigged with 150 genoa and 90 jib.
VW diesel with dual alternators, reported 4000 hrs.
Watermaker
Aluminum framed dodger (not the most attractive, but appears well built).
The asking price is $32k CAD, which seems high.

Interested in thoughts on this boat, and the 35-2 in general.
Thanks
