have a look

Some of the changes in
the Spencer 35 are due in part to the findings of Hal Roth on Hull 29,
Whisper
Examples are:
Rudder: The bottom trailing edge was increased and squared off. This gives more rudder control when beating or running.
Deck/Hull Join: Now all fiberglass and incorporated into the construction of the hull/deck joint and eliminates potential leaks.
Chain Plates: As in other fibreglass Spencers, they are glassed into the hull and that has naturally, been carried on.
Cabin: A new deck mould was created and allowed the main trunk of the cabin to be extended aft 30". This increased the below-deck space and reduced the volume of the cockpit.
Chart Table: A good size chart table with optional seating in the quarter birth.
Boom: Reduced from 16' 3" to 12' 0"
Mast: Increased from 38' 2 1/2" (S35) to 41' 0" (S35mkII)
Sail Area: (main & 100% foretriangle) Reduced from 522 sq ft. (S35) to 487 sq ft. (S35mkII)
Hull Construction: Single Skin fibreglass (S35) to Sandwich Construction. (S35mkII)LOA 35' 0"
