Barbican 35

In production for only 12 months before the moulds were lost in a fire the Barbican 35 is a rare find, only seven being produced before the disaster. Designed by Holman and Pye the Barbican 35 is a development of the earlier Super Sovereign Ketch. With a re-worked interior, taller rig and full GRP construction reviews of the time were very complimentary. With her heavy displacement and long keel the boat offers great potential as a long distance cruising yacht.

NA MARA is the last known example of the Barbican 35 to be launched. Purchased by her original owners in kit form she was fitted out over a 3 year period, specifically to fulfil their bluewater aspirations. During her first ownership she cruised extensively venturing as far south as the Azores in the Atlantic and as far north as Norway proving herself to be a reliable cruiser, even during a Hurricane force storm in the mid-Atlantic. Her extensive inventory includes:

• Underwater hull epoxy coated from new
• Vetus 414, 33hp, Marine Diesel
• Rutland wind generator
• ABSO 230VAC – 12VDC battery charger
• 1500w sine wave invertor
• Stowe Dataline Multifunction navigation instrumentation
• Garmin GPSmap292 chart plotter
• Garmin GP-31 GPS
• Icom M421 DSC VHF
• Force 10 Galley range. 3 Burner with oven. Gimbal mounted.
• SuperCool Peltier fridge (2006)
• Wallas 2000T kerosene fired blown air heaing system (2018)
• Baby Blakes manual marine toilet
• Extensive sail wardrobe
• Sprayhood and Mainsail cover both fitted new in 2022

• Yamaha 4hp outboard

Lying afloat on her mooring in Crinan, Argyll the Barbican 35 NA MARA is available for immediate viewing by prior appointment.
