saga 35 sailboat

Review of Saga 35

Basic specs..

The boat is typically equipped with an inboard diesel engine at 60.0 hp (44 kW).

The transmission is a shaft drive. A shaft drive will in the long run require less maintenence than other types of drive e.g. a sail drive.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Saga 35 is 1.71, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Saga 35 is about 241 kg/cm, alternatively 1352 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 241 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1352 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

2002 Saga 35

• Description

Seller's Description

The Saga 35 was designed by Bob Perry, who is well known for other performance cruisers. The Saga 35 may be built for speed, but she is a cruiser through and through. Her near-plumb bow with massive SS bowsprit and maximized sailing length are a direct result of Mr. Perry’s intentions. Under way, the Saga 35 extends her sailing waterline to over 34 feet. This longer waterline creates a yacht with the hull speed and sailing potential of a conventional 40-foot cruiser, yet the modest beam and moderately light displacement create less drag to provide the nearly effortless sailing of a smaller boat. The easily driven hull form requires less energy to attain speeds comparable to heavier, beamier cruisers. Lower loads on sails and sheets mean less stress on the boat’s structure, resulting in longer life. Under sail, the Saga 35 will reel off the miles with uncommon ease.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The Saga 35 was designed by Bob Perry, who is well-known for other performance cruisers. The Saga 35 may be built for speed, but she is a cruiser through and through. Her near-plumb bow with massive SS bowsprit and maximized sailing length is a direct result of Mr. Perry's intentions. Underway, the Saga 35 extends her sailing waterline to over 34 feet. This longer waterline creates a yacht with the hull speed and sailing potential of a conventional 40-foot cruiser, yet the modest beam and moderately light displacement create less drag to provide the nearly effortless sailing of a smaller boat. The easily-driven hull form requires less energy to attain speeds comparable to heavier, beamier cruisers. Lower loads on sails and sheets mean less stress on the boat's structure, resulting in longer life. Under sail, the Saga 35 will reel off the miles with uncommon ease. With the 38hp diesel engine, estimated top speed is 8 knots with 7.3 knots at normal cruise rpm. Ranger's auto-pilot provides another hand while underway.

Ranger is hull #6 of 10 and rarely does one see such a well-kept SAGA 35 on the market. She is equipped with a Variable Geometry Rig (designed by Bob Perry) that adjusts the sail proportions to eliminate an overlapping headsail when sailing close-hauled.  Thus, when you exit the harbor and realize your next destination is right on the nose, you will have the added convenience of a self-tacking jib to help you climb upwind with no extra grinding after the first tack.  The Genoa is only needed for off the-wind destinations and is on its own Harken furling unit for easy handling.

Furthest forward is the MASTER cabin with a custom mattress, cushioned changing seat, private head access, and lots of storage.  The V-berth is roomy. The 52-inch wide bunk is 6'4" long at its shortest point and 7'6" at its longest.  A cedar-lined hanging locker and numerous cabinets mounted along each side of the hull provide plenty of storage for long adventures. 

Aft of the master and to starboard is the HEAD, which   is accessed through either the master or the saloon to help maintain privacy when there are guests onboard.  All surfaces are easy to keep clean and dry thanks to the low-maintenance molded fiberglass interior. 

• Two access doors to head (Master and Salon)
• Wilcox marine head
• 20 gal holding tank with electric macerator pump for overboard discharge, direct overboard discharge, and deck pumpout
• Shower and sink drain into electric sump pump
• Excellent storage outboard and under sink vanity

Next aft is the SALOON, with center-mounted drop leaf cherry table and comfortable seating outboard with blue ultra-suede cushions.  In addition to the outboard cabinet storage, there is additional storage behind the back rests and underneath the settee cushions. Each seat converts to an excellent sea-berth with lee cloths.

Ideally positioned right next to the companionway and the nav station, the GALLEY offers excellent counterpace and storage.  While at the galley, one can easily communicate with the helmsmen or pop over to the nav to ensure a proper course.  The counter space is similar in size to what you typically see in a much larger yacht and is accompanied with plenty of storage. 

• Twin dish stainless steel sinks
• 12v Nova Kool refrigeration
• 9 cu ft. insulated refrigerator
• Force 10 three-burner propane stove/oven
• Hot/cold water pressure
• Stainless steel guard bar and Chef’s belt
• Corian countertops

Athwartships the galley is the forward facing NAV STATION .  The table can easily accept a full-sized chart, with additional chart storage underneath.  The ship's power distribution panel is mounted in full view with illuminated lights to ensure proper function.  Additional storage in underneath the nav seat and just forward in (4) large drawers and a cedar-lined hanging closet. 

• Forward-facing nav station
• Large Nav table
• AC/DC distribution panel with illuminated lights and amperage meter
• Horizon Intrepid VHF w/ RAM Mic @ helm
• Freedom 10 Inverter/charger remote

Furthest aft is the spacious QUARTER BERTH with opening window port for ventilation.  Underneath the berth is a drawer for storage.  Privacy curtains can be drawn when needed.

There is plenty of storage in the cockpit. To port of the helm is a propane locker for two 20-pound tanks. The cockpit lazarette is about five feet deep, allowing for massive amounts of storage, with steps to get in and out. To starboard, there is a vented locker for carrying a fuel tank. The cockpit features 6'6" seats for stargazing. Also, the 35 features the Saga walkout transom - no strenuous climbing up or over a coaming: simply walk out at dinghy boarding level. A transom door closes off the opening, keeping pets and kids safely on board. Molded-in foot braces make the crew comfortable even when heeled. Four stainless harken eyes are mounted to clip in while offshore.

Saga 35 2002 boats for sale & yachts, saga 35 2002 boats review and specs.

Table of Contents

This is indeed a rare opportunity to announce the listing of hull#6 of the Bob Perry design of the fabulous,fast and purposely targeted to sail short handed (a couple) 35 ft. offshore cruiser. Proudly built in Canada, “Bonnie Min” is a beautifully maintained,one owner example of the Saga 35, a yacht built with integrity which will, upon inspection, capture your attention and imagination to cruise,quickly if you desire,to destinations you have been dreaming about for quite some time. It is now time to act upon your dream! The best kept secret is the Variable Geometry Rig(tm). The Saga 35 is not a cutter or an oridinary sloop. The two head sails are never used at the same time. The rig is generously proportioned so that an overlapping headsail is not necessary when sailing close-hauled, even in light air. The custom foredeck jib traveler track, and a single jib sheet led aft, handles the roller furling self-tending up wind jib. Tacking is reduced to a simple turn of the wheel. On a reach, the genoa is deployed to add power and the jib is furled. The ease of an easy sail change with the Harken furler system always lends a light pressure to the helm, even under uncomfortable conditions. Broad reaching, an asymmetrical spinnaker(Bonnie Min has one!) can be flown from the bowsprit without added complexities of a pole. It should be noted that the Saga 35 is Fast, Fast, Fast which makes crusing even more fun. You may never be in a race but it is always exhileratiing to blow by other sailing yachts who may look great under sail but fall far behind your stern! Yes! It truly is rare to find a yacht with voyaging and coastal crruising in mind. She has a well thought out,warm & inviting interior. While under sail the Saga 35 boasts atheltic numbers with stability and performance. She has an intentional performance edge which will take you to places near and far with stability, confidence and sheer joy! “Bonnie Min” awaits your inspection. You will find yourself behind the helm and ready to cast off to visit the destinations of your dreams!

“ I just received my asymmetrical spinnaker, with sock and turtle bag, along with a new 135 Genoa. The entire process was simple and both sales and the design team were in regular contact if there were any questions. The customer portal was easy to use and lets you keep track of where in the process your sails are. Great sails, great service -Graham Edwards (Facebook)

“ The whole team at Precision Sails was fantastic from start to finish. We’ve had a laminate main and genoa made so far and have a spinnaker on the way. They listened carefully to our needs and recommended a great sail cloth. We couldn’t have gotten more bang for our buck! -Noah Regelous (Google)

“ We received our spinnaker and launched it yesterday and I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with it. The service we received from your company was exceptional and the quality of your product is second to none. We will certainly be return customers in the next few months to replace our main and jib sails and will recommend your company to all our sailing buddies. Once again-thank you.” -Daniel Jackson (Google)

“ we had good communication during the planning stages and the knowledgeable people at precision sails really got me fixed up good! The sails look and work fabulous! my boat sails better than it ever had! couldn’t be more pleased with the product AND the service!” -Fred Jelich (Facebook)

“ Our new furling jib for a Corsair 27 Had to be specially designed due to the height of the furler, but this was accomplished quickly and in short order we had our sail which fits beautifully and has a great shape. It’s everything we could have wanted, high tech design, thoughtfully executed and affordable.” -Nancy Y. (Yelp)
