A superb example of the Dutch-built Rogger 35, this capable and charming motor sailer is ideally suited for extended offshore cruising or liveaboard life. Built in 1971 by Eista Werf in Holland to a Dick Lefeber design, she features a long keel, heavy displacement GRP hull, and a robust, double-ended profile.
