Description

The Artekho H-35 is a Finnish built cruiser-racer of proven design and respected sailing performance. The interior may be quite small by modern 35 footer standards, due to her modest beam but this is made up for by her sparkling performance and excellent stability. The boat is particularly easy to sail with a light helm and all lines led aft to the deep safe cockpit. 'Fifty Shades' has many recent improvements including new engine in 2017, new standing rigging and interior refit under her current ownership. A very well presented yacht, ready to go.
