English
The Starlight 35 was an evolution of the extremely popular Starlight 39. Sharing the lines and appearance of her big sister the Stephen Jones designed Starlight 35 is a large yacht for 35’ and has proven a very capable offshore cruiser. Below decks the Jon Sherwill designed interior provides a modern and spacious living space, ideal for two couples cruising in comfort.
Purchased by her current owner in 2005 MOLLY CODDLER has been based in Scotland throughout the current ownership, exploring the coast and islands of Scotland’s west coast. She has proven to be a reliable cruiser, with her balanced rig and predictable handling ideally suited to short-handed sailing in coastal waters. Her inventory includes:
Original gelcoat finish to hull and deck
Lead fin keel
Perkins Perama (29hp) marine diesel engine
3-blade, Volvo Penta, bronze folding propeller
Whitlock wheel steering system.
Raymarine X5 Smart Pilot, wheel drive autopilot system
Shorepower system
Sterling battery charger
Dataline navigation instruments
Garmin GPS
Standard Horizon CP300I chart plotter

Lying ashore in Dunstaffnage Marina, by Oban the Starlight 35 MOLLY CODDLER is available for immediate viewing by prior arrangement.
Press Review:
‘The Sadler Starlight 35 has a reputation of being a tough, long-legged blue water cruiser with an above average sailing performance. She is built to last and her outstanding seakeeping qualities and well-balanced handling make her a delight to sail.’
Ducan Kent, ‘Sadler Starlight 35: a solid 35-footer’, Yachting Monthly, January 13th 2021.
