Finally on the market, ONRUST - named for the Dutch word for "unrest" - is a lovingly cared-for example of the iconic Spencer 35, one of Canada’s most respected classic cruising designs.

Designed by John Brandlmayr, the Spencer 35 is admired for its graceful traditional lines and capable offshore performance. With an overall length of 35’ and a displacement of 12,000 lbs, this model features the proven full keel with and attached rudder - providing tracking, stability, and confidence in a seaway. Her narrow 9’6" beam and 25’ waterline (which lengthens dramatically when heeled) contribute to her balanced, sea-kindly motion. Classic wineglass sections and 4,500 lbs of encapsulated lead ballast speak to the robust design heritage that has made these boats enduring favorites.

Construction quality is one of the strongest hallmarks of Spencer Boats, and ONRUST benefits from the exceptional build practices that have made the brand legendary. Spencer attached bulkheads and deck to the hull while the hull was still in the mold, ensuring perfect alignment and preventing distortion. The hull-deck joint is heavily fiberglassed, creating strong structural integrity. Bulkheads are bonded to both hull and deck, and even the interior furniture is glassed to the hull, delivering remarkable stiffness and durability throughout the vessel. A thoughtful advantage to the Spencer's wineglass hull form is the generous bilge volume - an ideal location for tankage or storage (see photo). Tanks are installed low in the bilge, contributing to the vessel's stability.
