Overview
About this vessel
‘Darling Jill’ is a lovely example of the Einer Ohlson designed ‘Ohlson 35’. Built to be competitive in the ¾ ton racing class, this particular model looks to have been lightly used and has a wheel rather than a tiller. She is currently involved in club racing but will suit a family who want to cruise in comfort. Her interior is bright and welcoming with 6 decent berths. Reliable and economical inboard Beta BD20 diesel and a decent suit of sails for all occasions.
Vessel is powered by a reliable and efficient Beta B20 inboard diesel engine. The engine was installed new in 2000 and has only completed 400 hours. Engine is situated beneath the companionway steps allowing easy access for servicing and daily checks. The last service was in the close season of 2024 prior to the vessel being lifted ashore for her annual layup prior to being made ready for the 2025 season.
The interior of this yacht is very bright and welcoming which is unusual on a boat of this era. Headroom is excellent as well so the giants amongst us will be satisfied.

Opposite the galley is the forward-facing chart table with chart storage.
