LeComte 35 (ALC 35)
Description
The LeComte 35 (commonly referred to as the ALC 35 or ALC 35 Mk II) is a classic fiberglass cruising/racing sloop from Dutch builder LeComte Yachts (A. LeComte), known for high-quality construction, elegant teak/wood interiors, and seaworthy designs. Designed collaboratively by American naval architect William H. Tripp Jr. (Bill Tripp) and Adolf "Dolf" LeComte in the late 1960s/early 1970s, it replaced earlier models like the Medalist 33 and served as a practical, comfortable offshore-capable cruiser with good performance for its era—featuring a solid fiberglass hull, fin keel with skeg-hung rudder for protection and tracking, masthead sloop rig, and spacious accommodations (typically 6 berths in V-berth + saloon settees + quarter berth layouts). Production ran from around 1968 (original ALC 35) through the 1970s (Mk II refinements in 1971), with a limited number built (exact count low, in the dozens to low hundreds across variants).
