The Ganbare 35 is a development of the one-off Petersen-designed One Ton Cup racer Ganbare. The name is derived from the Japanese term, meaning stand firm.[1][2]
The Ganbare 35 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 13,200 lb (5,987 kg) and carries 6,500 lb (2,948 kg) of lead ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 6.25 ft (1.91 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a Farymann A30M diesel engine of 12 hp (9 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 24 U.S. gallons (91 L; 20 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 7.15 kn (13.24 km/h).[2]
Operational history
The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the One Ton Class.[9][10]
