A Genuine
Offering of Comfort and Speed
The concept of this design was to avoid the contorted and
distorted shapes dictated by designing to a particular
rule and to produce a fast "top end" boat at an
exceptional price.
The Schock 35
has a very smooth hull shape and a narrow bow section with
an 17.5 degree entry angle for good penetration power in a
chop. 4490 pounds of ballast give the boat excellent
stability, and the deep high aspect ratio fin keel keeps
the weight as low as possible. The leading edge angles aft
for good control and easy shedding of kelp.
The
ballast-to-displacement ratio is kept high for stiffness
whereas the displacement-to-length ratio is very low for
planing capability. The rig of the Schock 35 features a
tall bendy section and is designed to optimize upwind
performance with a very high aspect foretriangle and
off-the-wind performance with its huge main and
spinnakers.
Construction
utilizes unidirectional E Glass and features a cored hull
and deck, full length toe rails, hiking ramps, extra large
windows, deck prisms, and lexan forward hatches. The deck
layout is proven and derived from other successful large
Schock models. It is highlighted by a voluminous 12-foot
long cockpit with the primaries and secondaries at waist
level for ease of tailing and winching functions. All
hardware is top quality.
The interior
layout of the Schock 35 was clearly designed to minimize
weight and to concentrate the heaviest components down low
over the keel. This has not been done, however, at the
expense of comfort and style. Efforts to offer good
cruising accommodations in a race-conscious interior have
resulted in a wonderfully unobstructed interior plan ideal
for both racing and cruising. Twelve feet of beam and over
six feet of headroom have given Schock a lot to work with.
Beautiful
teak bulkheads and trim are placed on an attractive
off-white liner, and a varnished teak and holly sole runs
the length of the cabin. The hull in the main cabin and
quarter berth areas is covered with foam backed fabric to
provide sound and heat insulation and to add a very
attractive finishing touch. The galley of the Schock 35 is
place to port and is equipped with and ice box, a deep
stainless sink, and an optional tow burner stove and oven.
The ice box is covered with a minimum of 2 ½ inches of
insulation, and an enclosed storage locker is placed
outboard for easy access to galley provisions. The
countertops are attractive plastic laminate that provides
a durable work surface.
Directly
opposite the galley is a generous chart table with an
hinged lid, a shelf, and storage compartments. The table
faces fore and aft, with the navigator comfortably seated
on a built-in bench seat. Raised winch platforms give him
plenty of headroom. There are four large settee berths in
the main cabin and two quarter berths aft. Cut-outs in the
berth structure provide easy access to storage
compartments and to the fuel and water tanks.
Since the
uses of a boat of this style are so varied, Schock offers
the buyer the opportunity to "design" the forepeak. The
economically minded racer might choose to leave it empty,
keeping this forward section light and free for sail
storage. The cruising sailor can add a beautifully
equipped enclosed head, and hanging locker, and a vee-berth
to provide an excellent forward stateroom.
Careful
attention has been given to every detail of this design.
The hull shape is exceptional... The deck layout is
ideal... And the interior is appealing. The Schock 35 is a
beautiful boat with an fantastic future.
