The highly regarded Starlight 35 was designed by Stephen Jones as a seaworthy, well mannered and capable fast cruiser. The ongoing popularity of the design is a testament to their sailing ability and build quality. ‘Jay Bee II’ is now in her second ownership and is set up for cruising with a recent engine and full electronics package, diesel heating, bimini and cockpit cover. The slab reefing mainsail has all lines lead back to the cockpit and she is equipped with an inner forestay and blade jib to keep her going to windward in stronger winds. The Stephen Jones lead antimony wing keel keeps 2,540Kg of ballast down low, which together with the large semi-balanced rudder, gives reassuring grip and stability. If you are looking for a safe, rewarding cruising boat with good accommodation, Jay Bee II warrants early inspection. For more information, contact Paul in the Plymouth office on.
