Trident Marine have produced three variations
on the same Angus Primrose designed 35 foot hull, the Warrior
(centre cockpit), Challenger
(aft cockpit) and Voyager
(pilothouse) versions. These yachts had an incredibly long
production run, from the late 1960s through the 70s and 80s.
A very few were still being built up until around 2001.
They are sought after as blue water cruisers. With their long
keel, moderate draught and displacement, and excellent ballast
ratio, they are a good GRP interpretation of a traditional
cruising yacht.
Whilst the Challenger and Voyager variants have fairly conventional
angular coachroofs and deckhouses, the centre-cockpit Warrior
35 has very distinctive rounded curves to the fore and aft
ends of the coachroof structures. Off the three layouts, the
Warrior 35 is the design most used as a long-distance cruiser.
Most early Warrior/Challenger/Voyager yachts were fitted with Mercedes
36 hp diesels when new, hough later boats may have Volvo diesels. Most Warriors were sloop rigged, but
a number were rigged as cutters. |
