1998 Carroll Marine 1D35

Step aboard and you’ll see this 1D35 is all about purpose: a clean, open cockpit with hardware right where you want it, high‑traction decks, and primary winches positioned for serious trimming. The tiller steering gives superb feedback, so you feel every puff and shift through your fingertips. Down below it’s all business—lightweight structure, functional pipe berths, and just enough space to stash gear for a regatta weekend. The fractional rig and powerful sail plan reward crews who like to tweak and optimize, while the deep fin keel keeps her on her feet when others are feathering. She’s the kind of boat that turns hoists, sets, and douses into choreography.

A 1D35 is a smart weapon in these waters, where shifty sea breezes and short-period chop reward light, responsive designs. The narrow hull and fine entry let her slice through lump without losing speed, and the generous sail area keeps her driving when the afternoon pressure is up and down. In buoy racing, the quick acceleration out of tacks is a real edge, while offshore sprints benefit from her ability to lock into a groove on tight reaches. With a simple, race-focused interior and manageable systems, upkeep remains straightforward, making it easier to keep her tuned for the next start gun.
