1981 Hinterhoeller 35' (10.67 m) Niagara
Portsmouth, Rhode Island, United States
Seawind
A particularly simple boat to maintain, easy to handle, yet very rewarding when sailed well, with quite a few ocean passages undertaken by these boat due to their comfortable motion in a seaway.

Description
This is one of the less notable designs from Mark Ellis, of Nonsuch fame.
However, the Niagara 35's are an exceptional vessel for quick coastal cruising or round the buoys racing and quite a few have travelled overseas.
The layout is somewhat unconventional for its age by not having a V berth forward, but this was ahead of it's time, as quite few European boats in the last 20 years have gone down the same route. This opens up the saloon for easier access to galley and chart table, while the main accommodations are in the aft quarters.
The shoal draft, of just over 5 feet, provide a very fair compromise for coastal work and yet is stiff enough to carry sufficient canvas to work to windward in a seaway.
The build quality from Hinterhoeller is well proven with the more popular designs such as the Nonsuch's, however the Niagara 35 benefitted from a deep moulded toe rail which added stiffness to an already tough hull.
This particular Niagara has been in the same family since being purchased new in 1981, and spent most of her life on Lake Ontario, only coming down to Rhode Island in 2004.
There have been some improvements to the boat, such as a Raymarine chart-plotter in 2017, Hood mainsail in 2015 and a Hood furling genoa, with Schaeffer furler around 2010. This season she was given fresh bottom paint and has recently been launched to her seasonal slip, the remainder of the seasonal slip is included in the sale. The mast just had it's internal wiring conduit renewed and simultaneously, the tricolor/anchor mast head light has also been replaced.

Growing up in Malta, Alex was surrounded by the Mediterranean maritime industry. He built his first model boat at the age of 11 and hasn’t stopped playing with boats since. In no time, Alex learned to sail and had his offshore captain’s license by age 17 and his Ocean Master ticket by his mid 20's. Besides learning and developing skills as a seaman, he was also playing with engines and machinery of all types, including building and racing rally cars and old motorcycles.
Â
With a college background in physics, applied and pure mathematics, he studied naval architecture, which culminated in being employed at Sergio Lupoli Yacht Design in Naples for 5 years, this included design and building schedules of small custom IRC racing sailboats. While this led to work on a wide variety of projects and boats, restlessness eventually led back to sea, initially as mate on an ocean-going tug, master on a research dive vessel, running a Swan for the Japanese delegation at a G7 summit, several transatlantic passages, as well as racing yachts in the Middle Sea Race and elsewhere in the Mediterranean.
Â
More recently he was captain/engineer onboard a 30m classic motor yacht for 13 years, with an approximate 5000Nm yearly cruising schedule. Besides being responsible for the guests & crew, Alex scheduled and oversaw the extensive refit and maintenance programs required for an old classic yacht, with all the numerous little bits that go with keeping such a vessel afloat and running.
Â
In addition to his native languages of Maltese, English, and Italian, Alex is conversant in Spanish, French, and Arabic. He and his wife sailed from Malta to the US in their 33-foot gaff cutter. They now reside in Portsmouth, and in their free time explore the US countryside on their dual sport motorcycles. He is a life member of the Royal Malta Yacht Club and past president of the Rhode Island Soaring Club, where he is a prominent participant in national model sailplane contests.
Â
Alex is now on the team at Brewer Yacht Sales, and keen to utilize his decades of experience on behalf of clients, wishing to experience the fun and pleasure of yacht ownership.
