The Rasmus 35 was designed by Olle Enderlein, whose other designs included many Hallberg-Rassy, plus yachts for Swan, Najad and Shipman. The first two Rasmus 35s were built by Christophe Rassy in mahogany in around 1967, but from hull no 3 the yachts were entirely GRP, with solid laminated hulls, and decks with vinyl core material. These were probably the first sailing yachts to have fixed glass windscreens, a design feature that has since become a feature of many Scandinavian yachts. The earlier Rasmus 35s were thus Rassys, not Hallberg-Rassys.

In 1972 Christophe Rassy bought out Harry Hallberg’s competing boatyard in Ellös. As the Hallberg brand was by far the most well-known with its four designs and the Rassy yard only had the Rasmus, the new company was named Hallberg-Rassy.

760 Rasmus 35s were made during twelve years between 1967 and 1978. The name "Rasmus" is the God of Winds in Germany. The boats were offered with sloop or ketch rigs, and a choice of a full fixed wheelhouse top with a wheel under the wheelhouse, or just windscreen and sprayhood with a wheel aft in the cockpit. Hulls were also sent to the UK to Freeman Yachts, who fitted them out and sold them as Nab 35s, all with fixed wheelhouse.

The Rasmus 35 stayed in production until around 1979/80, by which time the Hallberg-Rassy 352 had appeared, another long-running model which was beamier, and thus managed to fit in an internal access to the aft cabin. The 352 was also a fin and skeg hull instead of a long keel.

This yacht is a Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus 35, hull no 709, with sloop rig and windscreen plus a full "camper" canvas cockpit canopy. She has been re-engined with a Yanmar, and fitted with a Vetus bowthruster. She has a good inventory and the decks, which were probably originally teak, have been refinished with synthetic teak.

The forecabin has two vee-berths each 84" long "on the vee" with an infill making the berth a double 78" fore and aft and also 78" at it's widest aft.

The saloon table can drop to make another double 80" by 40".
Eberspacher blown hot air heating is installed.

The item wrapped in plastic on a bracket on the bulkhead
is a TV set, unused by the present owner.

There are no instruments at the chart table: all are in the cockpit.

This yacht was built in Sweden in 1979 and originally owned in Norway. She was brought to the UK in 1992 at which
time she had her original 55 hp Volvo Penta MD21A engine. This has since been replaced by a 55 hp Yanmar 4JH4E,
which must have been after 2004 to 2006, which was when this model Yanmar engine was produced.
The yacht has also subsequently been fitted with a Vetus 3 hp bowthruster.

This is a really well looked after example of these near-classic cruising yachts.
She is at present (winter 2019/20 still regularly being sailed from her home port in Sussex.
