Allmand 35 Pilothouse
Description
Overview of the Allmand 35 Pilothouse Sailboat The Allmand 35 Pilothouse (also known as the Allmand 35 Pilot House) is a variant of the Allmand 35, an American coastal cruising sailboat designed by Walter Scott and built by Allmand Boats Inc. in Hialeah, Florida, from 1981 to 1985. This pilothouse version features a raised cabin (or "pilot house") for enhanced all-weather visibility and protection, making it a motorsailer-style boat ideal for family cruising in protected waters like the Intracoastal Waterway, Florida Keys, or Bahamas. It's a heavy-displacement masthead sloop (cutter-rigged in some configurations) with a shoal-draft fin keel, emphasizing stability, spacious interiors, and ease of handling over high performance. Production was limited (estimated 50–100 units total for the Allmand 35 series, with fewer pilothouse variants), as Allmand, primarily a powerboat builder, entered the sailboat market during the 1970s energy crisis but went bankrupt in 1985.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
