Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

Stephen Jones drew up the first of Sadler International’s Starlights, the 38 in 1988, which soon after became the 39. He followed this in 1991 with the equally popular Starlight 35.

The company was rescued from the recession in 1993 by Rival Bowman Yachts , which continued to build the range, launching an improved MkII model with a slightly larger rig.

Sadly, it too went under in 1998 and the moulds were sold to Rustler Yachts , which built a few more to order.

In total 105 were launched.

Design detail of the Sadler Starlight 35

The 35 was similar to the 39; in fact several of the deck mouldings and the entire cockpit were incorporated into the 35, giving her the feel of a much bigger boat.

She has a long bow overhang and a noticeable sheer rising from quite a low freeboard aft, to high bows with a little flare to keep her dry in heavy seas.

She is relatively heavy by modern standards and has a healthy amount of form stability, together with generous ballast to enable her to carry a good sail area and keep her stiff and upright in a blow.

Her hefty ballast keel is bolted onto a GRP stub, keeping the weight low and forming a deep bilge to stop any water from reaching the accommodation when heeled.

The cockpit has enough space for three to work the boat, and more for relaxing on deck. Credit: Bob Aylott

Starlights came with a wing keel option, which is said to add lift to windward whilst keeping her draught as shallow as possible.

Though built using the foam-filled technique, Jones never claimed her to be unsinkable, unlike the earlier Sadlers.

But she still had an inner moulding, bonded to the hull at the ring frames, with closed-cell foam injected between this and the hull.

This produced plenty of additional positive buoyancy as well as insulating the hull from the cold and noise.

The inner moulding provided the basis for much of the furniture and a smooth, easy-to-clean finish inside lockers and stowage bins.

The decks on the Sadler Starlight 35 are wide with a very effective, moulded-in, non-slip surface.

The coachroof melds nicely into the foredeck and there are virtually no slippery areas to avoid except, maybe, the top of the cockpit coamings.

All lines leading back to the cockpit from the mast run under hinged covers, which protect them from the sun and remove a trip hazard.

The handrails – big, through-bolted stainless rails leading all the way from the sprayhood to the foredeck – are excellent.

Her foredeck has a deep chain locker with a plinth for a below-decks windlass, twin chunky bow rollers for self-stowing anchors, sizeable deck cleats and fairleads integral to the aluminium toe rail.

The cockpit is spacious enough for a crew of three to work in without hindering each other.

A flared topside gives the Starlight 35 a racy look. Credit: Bob Aylott

It has a deep, self-draining well with a seat-height bridge deck and a cutaway aft to clear her large wheel.

Steering from the coamings is easy and comfortable and she has stowage aplenty in three deep lockers.

Access to the small transom platform and hinge-down boarding ladder is through a rail gate and requires climbing over the helm seat.

She has a stout masthead rig with deck-stepped, twin spreader Seldén mast.

Her standing rigging is generously sized and boasts both fore and aft lower shrouds plus an adjustable back stay.

She has a fully battened mainsail with lazyjacks and luff cars for easy handling.

All lines are led into the cockpit via clutches, to two Lewmar 30ST winches.

The primary winches are Lewmar 48STs, which handle the large genoa with ease.

The Starlight 35 is comfortable to live on for extended periods. Credit: Bob Aylott

Under way A 29hp Volvo drives a two-bladed prop through a conventional shaft, which gives her the ability to cruise at around 6 knots at an economical 2,400rpm.

Maximum speed is just over 8 knots at 3,600rpm.

She goes where you point her and is easy enough to manoeuvre at close quarters, providing you make allowances for the prop walk.

Her spreaders are swept aft just 10°, allowing the boom to go nearly right out without the mainsail fouling on them, so the chances of an accidental gybe are minimal.

Her deep rudder and skeg kept her tracking dead straight with little effort on the wheel.

Working through tacks and gybes is easy and safe, thanks to a sensible deck layout and good, strong deck gear and winches.

Her mainsheet is just forward of the pedestal, within easy reach of the helm, but the genoa winches are set a bit too far forward to reach from behind the wheel.

Upwind she ploughs a dead straight furrow as soon as the genoa is trimmed.

The helm is light until she is really pushed and the deep rudder means she never breaks out.

The chart table is spacious, with plenty of stowage. Credit: Bob Aylott

In one test sail we had the lee rail well under during a few 22 knots plus gusts with little effect except that the hard-over rudder was knocking a knot off our speed and we had to gimbal the tea mugs!

Her wing keel exhibits the same effect as a much deeper fin and appears to produce no more leeway than a normal fin keel.

The wings also have a damping effect, which helps prevent pitching in big seas.

The Sadler Starlight 35 tacks easily and confidently through 80° and will point right up to 32° off the apparent wind until the mainsail luff starts flapping and the speed drops off.

Her favourite point of sail is around 45° off the wind, when she’ll see 7 knots in a stiff breeze.

Despite having a tall bridge deck, going below is made safer thanks to sturdy stainless grab bars each side of the companionway, both above and below the hatch.

The lower step is the engine box, which is well forward, making it easy to access the engine for servicing.

Accommodation

The layout is pragmatic and well suited to long-term cruising.

Because she has foam between the GRP inner moulding and the hull, a small amount of interior volume is lost, but this is barely noticeable.

Her navigation area, just inside to port, contains an Admiralty chart-size, forward-facing chart table with neat instrument storage trays.

There’s a deep bin beside the table for pilot books and logs, and ample space for electronic instrumentation next to the switch panel and on the half bulkhead.

The conventional saloon has a central drop-leaf table and settee berths. Credit: Duncan Kent

The L-shaped galley is large and has all you’d need for preparing and cooking during a long voyage.

There are two deep sinks, a large fridge and a fully gimballed cooker with crash bar and bum strap.

The abundant stowage is well organised and partitioned, and the worktop fiddles are deep enough to rest your tea mugs against when heeled.

Above are two portlights.

Yachting Monthly reviews the Sadler 29

Can the Sadler 32 rival the Contessa 32 on the water?

The face that launched 600 boats

Beauty behind the Contessa 32

Teak handholds on the deck head enable you to go forward safely.

The saloon isn’t huge, but it is seamanlike and the two 1.98m x 0.65m (6ft 6in x 2ft 2in) settees make excellent sea berths.

The starboard side also has a pull-out extension.

Light and ventilation are good thanks to the four ports each side (two openable), so despite teak in abundance it isn’t gloomy.

Electric lights all have a red/white option for night passages.

Beneath the seating is stowage, and above are a mix of lockers and fiddled shelves.

The table seats four to six comfortably and has a large bottle store.

A fiddled centre section ensures items stay put when the leaves are folded down.

The two cabins are roomy enough and comfortable, with plentiful lockers and shelves and a small dressing area with standing headroom.

Duncan Kent is a technical writer for marine publications and websites

The berths, however, are not large by modern standards.

The fully lined heads compartment, aft of the nav station, is a good size and has a shower seat over the toilet.

Headroom, like the saloon and aft cabin, is 1.83m (6ft).

The Sadler Starlight 35 has a reputation of being a tough, long-legged blue water cruiser with an above average sailing performance.

She is built to last and her outstanding seakeeping qualities and well-balanced handling make her a delight to sail.

• Starlight 35 Yacht

The starlight 39 took the sailing world by storm. Here was a yacht, which did everything, yet it became apparent after a year or so that there was something missing . . . a smaller version. Enter the Starlight 35, which shares virtually identical lines and layout to her larger sister. Shorter by four feet, a foot less beam, minus 170 square feet of sail area and 4,000 lbs less displacement – these are the principal differences.

It is hardly surprising that the 35 attracted keen interest from sailors planning long distance voyages. What is surprising is that this same boat appealed to coastal and family yachtsmen, moving up from smaller yachts and sometimes unsure of their ability to handle a larger vessel. These owners have found the 35’s docility, responsiveness and manoeuvrability soon makes them feel comfortably at home.

Significantly too, the 35 has been chosen by several previous owners of larger, heavy displacement cruising yachts who have wanted to move into something which is smaller and easier to handle and maintain. They have selected the 35 because it handles like a proper yacht and possesses many of the traditional yacht qualities, so often lacking in today’s mass-produced production craft.

The 35 was clearly going to be fast but what was surprising was that a fully-kitted cruising yacht was capable of beating dedicated racers, exactly as happened in the 1991 Round the Island Race. In this event, a Starlight 35 finished second in Channel Handicap Class 5, less than two minutes behind the winner of the Cowes Week Britannia Cup, while another won her non-rated division. Not a bad performance by boats loaded with creature comforts and raced by family crews, who rarely compete together as a team!

The Starlight 35 is a big 35 – she really is 35 feet long on deck. Compare her measurements with other 35 footers, look at her features and speak to some of the owners… it will become clear why the Starlight 35 sets the standards by which others are judged.

Broker's Comments

This Starlight 35 comes to the market with new standing rigging 2022 and a recently replaced engine in 2017. Her interior is in very nice condition and feels very spacious and light and airey. Outside she has teak decks which are original though understandably showing some age. Stephen Jones drew up the first of Sadler International’s Starlights, the 38 in 1988, which soon after became the 39. He followed this in 1991 with the equally popular Starlight 35. 1993 Rival Bowman Yachts, continued to build the range. They are renowned for performance with stability.

Broker's Comments

I know these yachts have an awesome reputation in the yachting universe, but until I started researching this particular one I didn’t really know why. Then I found the pedigree! Originally built by Sadler, then taken over by Rival Bowman, Bowman Yachts and then Rustler, these are all names to conjure with – all known for build quality, reliability and seakeeping, no wonder these yachts command top prices!

We can follow ownership trail all the way back to when she was sold new by Clarke and Carter back in 1993, and we have invoices for all the important improvements carried out by this knowledgeable and conscientious owner, who is only selling because a change in circumstances forces his hand.

Among the improvements (mostly to facilitate shorthanded sailing) are new sails from Banks, new ball racing cars for ease of hoist and drop, a heavy duty spinnaker, new winches two years ago, PONTOs grinders for the halyards and 4 speed trimmers for the genoa. New Tekdek flooring in the cockpit, copper coat on the hull, engine rebuild summer 2016, this list goes on, and it is all great stuff!

I have never sailed one of these, but if you look up the many reviews on the internet you will definitely want to come and see this iconic yacht!
