As is necessary to make a strong but light boat, the J/35 uses some sophisticated construction techniques. Both the hull and deck are balsa-cored, with the end-grain balsa inside layers of biaxial and unidirectional fiberglass. As with any cloth, there is less stretch and more strength parallel to the glass fibers than across them, and the biaxial and unidirectional cloth used by Tillotson-Pearson lets the builder arrange the cloth throughout the hull so its strength is in line with the forces that occur during hard sailing.
Unlike most boats, the main structural bulkhead which takes the forces of the rig is a molded fiberglass piece, and the floors are made up of glass beams to which both the mast step and the external lead keel are fastened.
The hull and deck are strong and, perhaps more importantly, stiff, so that there is a minimum of flexing when the boat is being pushed. The quality of the construction is evident in that over time they are still able to handle the rig forces of a pumped-up backstay on a hard beat.
The seller reports the keel has been re-positioned and strengthened along with bottom strengthening. This vessel was originally from the New Orleans area and was raced in the East Coast Nationals where the seller reports the boat took first place honors around 1990.
In 2017 there was a repair made to the bottom. A very small area of balsa core was removed, re-fiberglassed, sanded smooth and repainted the entire bottom. Today it's in the water and ready to start racing again.

The J-35 is a well regarded racing sloop with the added feature of having some room below for cruising. A modest galley with two-burner stove and ice box, a head with shower and sleeping berths for six make this a suitable family cruiser or a smokin" hot race boat. This particular one has a sail inventory that gives you all the options you may need for both purposes.
