In search of a fast and seaworthy cruiser, Cantiere del Pardo asked Jézéquel for a hull outside the IOR logic. Racing and ratings were not considered at all; the goal was a cruising boat that could sail fast. The result is a 35-footer with fine lines, a deep bow, and a modest stern. Elegant and well-conceived, it remains a sought-after cruising boat today, precisely because of its intelligent design.
