A Tony Castro design
for MG Yachts, the MG335 is, like virtually every Castro design,
a fast yacht. She also has a surprisingly comfortable interior,
including an aft double cabin. With a fractional rig with self-tacking
jib, she is easy to handle, and this shallow draught wing keel version
also opens up many cruising grounds denied to deeper keels.

MG Yachts started life as primarily a builder
of racing boats, but sold a number of fairly high performance
cruiser-racers through the 1980s, mostly designed by Tony
Castro.
Built from 1987 onwards, the MG335 was moulded by Northshore,
and was a true cruiser-racer. As a racer this yacht currently
sails off an IRC rating of 0.952, or PYS of 906. As a cruiser
she has a fully fitted interior with up to seven 2 metre long
berths, including a very good sized aft double.
'Yachting Monthly' described the MG335 as ".... in
terms of performance and handling she was simply delightful,
extremely well-balanced, fast, close winded and responsive."
The aft berth is 6' 6" long and 4' 6" wide forward
