The Starlight 35 was originally built by Sadler Yachts
as a smaller development of their highly acclaimed Starlight
39. Launched in 1991 it was designed to provide similar performance
and seaworthiness to her bigger sister, but to be more easily
handled by a small crew. Although designed and fitted out
as comfortable cruising boats, many Starlight 35s have achieved
remarkable results racing.
In the late 1980s Sadlers went into receivership, and the
assets were taken over by Starlight Yachts. This then became
Bowman Yachts, then Rival Bowman in 1998, still producing
Starlight 35s. Bowman then was taken over by Rustler Yachts,
and for a short while continued building Starlights, though the last appear to have been built in the early 2000s. The last Mk II Starlight 35s appear from their
published specs to be a little heavier than the earlier models,
with fractionally more sail as well.
