**Broadblue 435 – Your Perfect Bluewater Cruiser**

Looking for a long-distance cruising catamaran designed for couples? The British-built Broadblue 435, a 43-foot beauty, could be the perfect fit—especially since it's the only one available in the United States. This two-owner vessel is known for its exceptional performance in light winds and is a refined version of the Broadblue 42 (a contender in last year's Boat of the Year competition). Ideal for a couple planning bluewater adventures, it also offers space to occasionally host friends.

The Broadblue 435 excels in light air, reaching 7.7 knots in just 11 to 12 knots of true wind with its full mainsail and large reacher, making it a reliable choice for passagemakers seeking steady progress. Its 776 square feet of sail area is managed by a versatile and easy-to-handle cutter rig, offering various storm and downwind sail combinations for adaptable cruising.
