Irwin Citation 35
Description
The Irwin Citation 35 (1982–1987, ~220 built) was the sweet-spot model in the well-regarded Citation performance-cruiser line, blending genuinely quick sailing with the huge interior volume that made Irwins famous. With an LOA of 35′6″, 11′8″ beam, moderate 13,800 lb displacement, 6,000 lb ballast, and a choice of 5′6″ fin or 4′6″ shoal Scheel keel, it carries a tall double-spreader masthead sloop rig (standard or optional tall-rig) delivering 620–650 sq ft of sail and an SA/D of 18–19—noticeably faster and closer-winded than earlier Irwins while remaining forgiving and easy to single-hand. Below decks it offers a true private aft stateroom with standing headroom and en-suite access, a massive U-shaped galley often called the best under 40 ft of its decade, a spacious raised saloon with excellent visibility, nav station, and a big forward V-berth with second head—all finished in light teak with markedly better joinery and ventilation than the 1970s boats.
