The FB35 is a 35 foot, offshore racing, sport yacht built by Brett Van Munster and his team at Van Munster Boats in Morrissett, NSW. Designed by Fred Barrett from Hobart, the brief was to produce a fast, fun offshore yacht with the capability for offshore and overnight racing.
"Manifest" fka "Weapon of Choice" while racing in Australia was purchased in 2021 and shipped to Seattle arriving at CSR Marine in early 2022 to be assembled and rigged for the coming Race Season. A change in plans with the current owner is the only reason this opportunity exists.
