'Sea Wraith', my Hustler 35 Sailboat for Sale
by owner Jamie Dobson

The Hustler 35 sailboat was designed by Don Pye of Holman & Pye and built by the Tyler Boat Company as a hugely capable classic offshore cruiser between 1970 to 1979.

'Sea Wraith' was originally owned by the Royal Navy Sailing Association and officially launched by HRH Princess Anne in 1971.

The Hustler 35 sailboat was created to be used as a fast cruiser but rapidly became popular in the racing fraternity. The Tyler Boat Company built these boats to Royal Navy specifications, so they are strong and durable.
