The designer of the Starlight 35 Mk2 , Stephen Jones, has achieved an enviable reputation for his exceptional vision in hull form which has produced many of the most successful racing yachts in the UK in recent years. In the Starlight 35 Mk2, Stephen has provided a fast hull and easily manageable sail plan, combined with an accommodation layout which combines space and comfort with safety and seaworthiness. She was chosen by the judges in the Yachting World Rally as the best yacht in her size range.

CONSTRUCTION
The Starlight 35 Mk2 enjoys exceptional qualities of thermal and acoustic insulation achieved by a building process which incorporates an inner and outer moulding, enclosing a foam core. This provides a hull which is quieter, warmer and has a noticeable lack of condensation compared with conventionally constructed yachts. The ambience achieved in the cabins from this construction method is therefore exceptional.
It is this attention to detail that makes the Starlight 35 Mk2 a thoroughly sea going vessel which offers strength and longevity.

UNDER SAIL
The forward hull shape provides the 35 with a gentle motion when going to windward in a choppy sea, without the discomfort of slamming into the waves.
The lead antimony keel which is bolted to a deep keel stub provides a low centre of gravity and a correspondingly stiff boat. The keel stub itself contains a deep bilge which prevents any water from running into the accommodation when the boat is heeled. The large rudder and half skeg make the Starlight an easy boat to handle and maintain directional stability without constant attention to the wheel.

THE ENHANCED Mk2
The new Starlight Mk2 incorporates a host of enhancements which have been developed by the Rival Bowman yard, with considerable input from existing owners, following extended cruising and offshore racing. The Mk2 specification level has been upgraded to include items of equipment which other builders would feature on their "optional extras" lists.
