Warrior Mark III 35 long fin keel sloop built by Trident Marine in 1976

The Warrior 35 Mark III was manufactured by Trident Marine of the highest standard with extensive use of natural materials throughout.

It is renowned for her sea keeping qualities and is often chosen as the boat for extended cruising. It is easily handled and a joy to sail and has a loyal following.

The ship was bought in 1992 by one of the owners and underwent a full refit before leaving for an extended live aboard cruise. It was transferred to joint ownership in 1996 with the original owner retaining a 50% share.

After 1996 it cruised extensively on the western and southern coasts of Portugal. In 2000 it was repainted by a shipyard, the engine rebuilt and the exterior woodwork restored.
