Everything you’ve heard and read of a DALE hull

lifts your expectations...

“peerless”

“a phenomenal driving experience”

“kings of boats that laugh in the face of rough seas”

“supreme comfort and security”

...as you open the throttles and the Classic 35 lifts her

graceful skirts to astonishing levels, you start to appreciate

just why such praise is written.

A single 400hp Volvo D6* lifts her out of the water with

no fuss to 20 knots in just 11 seconds and on to 30 knots

in 30 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 33 knots.

Yet the sports boat-like performance only begins the story.

Helming the 35 is about connecting with the sea in a way

which inspires confidence and brings a smile to your face.

The hull’s grip through a tight turn feels like it wants to

make a mockery of g-forces.

A supreme ride paves a smooth path through seas that

would challenge much larger craft.

The 35 has all the abilities she needs, and more in reserve,

to cruise in absolute control and total comfort. Irresistible.

Where luxury becomes discreet

To build a hull that performs like the Classic 35 demands

a different approach.

First there is the depth of experience.

The Classic 35 is a new design that draws on a quarter of a century of

DALE Nelson’s association with TT Boat Designs – a partnership

which has created semi-planing and full planing hulls which have

become legendary amongst those who know the sea.

Then there is the different way the boat is built.

Behind the elegant lines lies an advanced computer formed e-glass

epoxy composite hull – providing the accuracy, lightness and

strength required to achieve the design’s full potential.

Our craftsmen apply their superlative skills and attention to detail

in equal measure to both the 21st century materials and the finest

traditions in boat building.

Every installation is meticulously precise, every bit of wood you see

is crafted from solid hardwood, every finish is honed until it can be

perfected no more.

The lines and exquisite finishes draw the eye of the onlooker, but

only the owner can fully appreciate the extent of the boat’s abilities

– luxury that is truly discreet.

Perfectly matched to every owner

The Classic 35 perfectly illustrates the way DALE can approach

a truly bespoke build. Hull number one started from a meeting

between ourselves,TT Boat Designs, the owner and a blank

sheet of paper.

Everything from the keel up was designed to suit the brief of a

top performing day boat with accommodation for a tall family

wishing to overnight occasionally.

“I felt I would get exactly the boat I wanted – TT Boat designs and the DALE build team

were prepared to give me complete access and input to all aspects of the boat. Few boat

designers and builders would put up with an owner wanting to be so intimately involved.”

“You can be confident that the yard will adhere to the highest standards – they are among the

very best in Europe for this size boat.”

This same process is available to anyone who builds a boat with DALE

– you can have as much (or as little if that suits you better) input as

you like – fully bespoke, ‘off the shelf ’ or somewhere in between.

We draw on your boating life, your requirements, your tastes and your

aesthetic judgement.You draw on our experience, our design

expertise, our determination to match ideal solutions to your needs

and our total commitment to each and every build.

The result is a boat that will match you perfectly.

After sales undying attention

To say we offer after sales care, would be a disservice to the

people who will look after you. Perhaps we would be better

to say “after sales undying attention”.

Your boat’s original build team will be assigned to carry out

all your maintenance and servicing.

This approach builds an unrivalled bank of knowledge and a

commitment to ensuring that, for the boat’s entire lifetime,

your DALE is everything it was on the day it was launched.

And we’re always available whenever you want to call on us

for help and advice.

This brochure has introduced you to the Classic 35, yet

words and photos will only go so far to explain the

difference that is DALE.

The way to appreciate the full depth of the build quality

and the full extent of the boat’s abilities is to experience

it for yourself.

We’d be delighted to offer you a no-obligation

viewing or sea-trial.
