Production

The design was built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium starting in 1992, but it is now out of production. [1] [2]

Design

The ETAP 35i is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It is made from a polyester glassfibre foam sandwich that makes the boat unsinkable. It has a fractional sloop masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom with boarding steps, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 11,464 lb (5,200 kg) and carries 3,836 lb (1,740 kg) of ballast. [1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 5.09 ft (1.55 m) with the standard keel. [1]

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta diesel engine of 28 hp (21 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 28 U.S. gallons (110 L; 23 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 74 U.S. gallons (280 L; 62 imp gal). [1]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin and a small aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of navigation station on the starboard side and includes a shower. The bow cabin also has a sink. [1]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a spinnaker. [1]

Operational history

The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association. [4]

In a 2010 review in Yachting Monthly Dick Durham wrote, "An excellent cruising boat – fast, seaworthy, thoughtfully designed and very reasonably priced considering the high quality of build. Etaps also tend to hold their value well on the second-hand market. The unsinkability factor and double-skin construction is a reassuring bonus, offering soundproofing, thermal insulation and eradicating condensation. One fly in the ointment is the optimistic addition of the aft ‘cabin’. I believe that very few yachts under 40 ft LOA should have one, and on this boat it's no more than a giant locker." [3]
