Description
Niagara 35 Encore 1985 — Halcyon
Mark Ellis design • Built by George Hinterhoeller • Premium Navtec rod rigging • Exceptionally maintained cruiser.
Preliminary Listing - More PHOTOS coming
Halcyon is an outstanding example of the sought-after Niagara 35 Encore, a proven Mark Ellis bluewater design built by the legendary George Hinterhoeller. The Encore layout refines the original Niagara 35, with an improved galley-aft arrangement and a dedicated quarter berth—features that significantly enhance liveaboard comfort.
Purpose-built for serious offshore sailing, the Niagara 35 Encore combines a full-displacement hull, shoal-draft fin keel, and spade rudder to deliver a stable, confident ride in all conditions. At the same time, her single-spreader sloop rig maintains excellent performance under sail.
New 2025 Mainsail & Genoa.
A standout upgrade on Halcyon is her premium Navtec stainless-steel rod rigging—a rare and valuable enhancement that dramatically improves strength, reduces stretch, and provides exceptional offshore security. Rod rigging of this caliber is seldom found on vessels in this class and elevates her reliability and sailing capability well above comparable cruisers.
