2009 Aerodyne AD-35 Luxury Performance Sailboat - FOB Finland

Starting at $349,995 for epoxy hull. Carbon fiber hull also available. FOB Finland. DESIGNED BY GROUPE Finot of BOC and Around Alone fame, the new Aerodyne35 represents the latest thinking in non-canting keel, Open rule racer/cruiser development. With performance features such as the C Wing Mast, with a furling non-overlapping jib and asymmetric spinnaker, efficient bulb keel, and long waterline hull, the Aerodyne35 promises blasting sailing performance and easy-to-handle convenience. The fully equipped interior and cockpit with seats offer comfort far beyond what is expected in a performance boat of this size. The innovative transom scoop provides storage space for an inflatable and convenient access to the life raft locker situated under the cockpit floor. The life raft is even accessible in the event of an inversion.
The construction specifications for the Aerodyne35 are on par with those found only in racing boats: epoxy-carbon composite structure, vacuum bagged e-glass epoxy hull and deck with SAN foam core, stringer and frame style bottom structure with monolithic e-glass skins, sprayed polyurethane finish on all surfaces, cored interior bulkhead panels fully taped to the hull and deck, and autoclaved carbon rudder stock and keel.
One look at the interior drawings of the Aerodyne35 shows how much more this yacht offers than the typical IMS racer-cruiser. Below there is good standing headroom. The galley is very roomy and set up for use either underway or in harbor, and can be equipped with a propane stove and oven. The chart table is large with plenty of storage outboard for gear and electronics. The main saloon is equipped with long settees and a large (yet very lightweight) centerline table. Storage is found outboard of the settees and tankage is aft under the cockpit floor accessible from the aft head compartment. The enclosed head can be fitted with shower facilities. Private staterooms are fore and aft, each with palatial bunks and ample storage. Multiple opening hatches and ports provide wonderful ventilation. Additional storage for deck gear and ground tackle is found in large cockpit lockers and a foredeck anchor locker.
Despite the emphasis on comfort, the Aerodyne35 is a sailing machine set up for high performance sailing combined with ease of use. The C wing mast does away with backstays and allows the main sail to have a large roach, the deck-stepped boom takes load off the mast section. The small non-overlapping jib is quick and easy to tack. Off the wind, the retracting bowsprit allows a large spinnaker to be set, with no guys, double sheets, or pole dipping required. Such a rig, set-up on this performance oriented hull, will allow the Aerodyne35 to sail past practically any racer/cruiser under 50 ft.
So why settle for the sluggish performance of the typical cruiser, or the discomfort of a racer? The best of both worlds is now available in a modern, high-quality sport cruiser, the Aerodyne35.

The carbon fiber mast is available in two versions – Classical and C Wing ©. The "classical" rig, with shrouds directly fixed on the hull sides, with a Bergström arrangement (crossed shrouds). This type of rig gives a fore triangle completely unobstructed, with a low overlap jib that makes tacking easy. The C.Wing © rig, which features a rotating wing mast, held by only three stays: the head stay and two shrouds having a large aft foot. The mast is keel stepped, with a bearing at the coach roof level and another one at the mast bottom. The strength and stiffness of carbon fiber allows such a solution, impossible with aluminium masts, except on multi hulls. It also have a small, easy to sheet, jib, and a fully battened mainsail, which is more compact than a classical main. The mast is equipped with three halyards: mainsail, jib and spinnaker. This C.Wing © rig is well adapted to carbon fiber construction, as the work is mainly lamination, with only a few assembly parts. The extra sail area and stability in addition to the mast high lift/drag ratio, enables the Aerodyne35 to attain speeds about 5 to 7% higher than with a classical solution.
