Starlight 35 built in 1994. Highly regarded with an excellent reputation for both performance and accommodation, Starlight 35 is a remarkable boat offering a blend of performance, power, comfort, security, ease of handling, innovative thinking, clever detailing and structural integrity that few can match.
She was conceived to be equally suited to coastal cruising and offshore passage-making and it’s easy to see her in both roles
'Jaybird II' is beautifully presented,very well equipped and is a gorgeous example in our opinion of these renowned all-round performance cruisers
She was built to last and her outstanding seakeeping qualities and well-balanced handling make her a delight to sail. She is fast, responsive and highly manouverable.
