To go fast and far in optimal sailing conditions, let's take a look at the Wellcraft 435's layout, deck layout and habitability in this second part of our test. A model of its kind, whether underway or at anchor.

In port, the Wellcraft's silhouette immediately reveals its personality, with its vigorous hull lines, redans and pronounced strakes.

A straight bow, high up on the water and extended by a fixed davit, and wrap-around balconies catch the eye and make it hard to pull away. Add to this a neutral or even negative tone at the bow, muscular planks and dark side panels, and you get an undeniable feeling of power and a boat that looks ready for battle.

It's clear that life on board isn't just an expression, but a reality built into the specifications.

The designers didn't skimp on materials, and paid particular attention to finishing touches, whether for the helm station or the cabins. There are two cabins, each with its own individual Sibuglass washroom, and the luxury of luxury is omnipresent.

3 tanks for 1,290 liters

While the midcabin is rather low to the ground, without being stuffy, the master is much bulkier. It has plenty of storage space for planning long stays on board. Bright, well-ventilated and meticulously styled, the interior is masculine yet stylish.

To conclude this non-exhaustive inventory of the Wellcraft 435's features, let's recall the capacity of the 3 tanks, with a total of 1,290 liters of diesel. Enough to dream of maritime expeditions and to cast off.
