1978 Hinterhoeller Niagara 35 Classic

The 1978 Hinterhoeller Niagara 35 Classic is a fiberglass sloop with proven performance across the Great Lakes. At 35 feet in length with an 11-foot beam and moderate 5.5-foot draft, she handles a range of conditions—light air and heavy weather alike—and reaches a maximum hull speed of 6 knots. All working lines for sheets, halyards, roller furling, and mainsail reefing can be managed from the cockpit without leaving your position.

Below deck, the yacht holds two cabins and one head arranged for comfort and practicality. Storage is extensive and well-designed throughout, with dedicated space for sails, gear, clothing, and galley provisions. The interior layout makes extended cruising straightforward and livable.

The boat underwent a comprehensive year-long refit beginning in 2016, completed by an owner with professional credentials in boatbuilding, marine electrical systems, and mechanics. Since then, she has received consistent professional maintenance and ongoing improvements. The nine years following the refit included extensive cruising across the northern Great Lakes in spring, summer, and fall months, plus occasional racing.

Today the yacht is fully equipped and ready to sail. No major systems require attention or updating, and her condition reflects decades of proper care and regular use.
