The Defender 35 is a 35.27ft masthead sloop designed by Eva M. Hollman and built in fiberglass by Dekker & Sons (Jachtwerf F. Dekker en Zonen) between 1978 and 1985.
9 units have been built.
The Defender 35 is a light sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.
