Archambault A35: Best Crossover

• By Tony Bessinger
• Updated: December 19, 2008

One of the slickest, best-performing boats we’ve ever sailed in our years with Boat of the Year is the Archambault A35, and the judges collectively described it as one of the best-built, best laid-out boats they’ve sailed. The design firm, Joubert/Nivelt, certainly knows its stuff, as does this boat’s French builder, which recently celebrated 50 years in business.

“When we talked to the builders you could tell the pride they take in the boat and how well they knew their product,” said Allen.

Delivering a successful modern crossover is no easy task, given racing and cruising attributes are always at odds when it comes to performance, but the A35 nails the balance with a fast hull shape and layout perfectly suited for crewed windward/leeward and distance racing.

Inside, the feel is very spacious. One of the most appealing elements of an already comfortable interior is its aft cabins, which have standard bunks and optional pipe berths above. There are two settees. Just forward of the small but comfortable nav station and the simple galley is a table with drop-down leaves. The open layout belies the boat’s overall length, thanks to the main bulkhead being 3’6″ feet forward of the mast. With such a generous amount of volume and a plethora of bunks, the A35 could easily be cruised by a small family, or a few couples.

When it came to sailing the boat, the judges raved about its balanced feel. The wheel steering was smooth and tight, with one revolution lock-to-lock. “The steering was phenomenal,” says Stewart. “The bearings, the quadrants, the alignment; everything helps keep the friction down.”

His praise carried over to the overall quality of the boat. “It’s outstanding, especially when compared to similarly sized [production] boats I’ve sailed,” said Stewart. “It’s night and day.”

Allen agreed. “When we were steering and maneuvering the A35, it felt like a boat that a good driver can really take advantage of, especially in waves,” he said. “One slight movement from the wheel and the boat moves, and it would be even be better with the [standard] tiller.”

One of the outstanding features of the A35 is it’s versatility. It’s available with a single or twin-rudder configuration, and either a symmetric or asymmetric spinnaker system. With the A-sail layout, there’s a cutout pre-built into the bow on centerline, which is sealed for buyers preferring a symmetric spinnaker setup.

The A35’s cored decks are resin injected and there’s no interior headliner, which means a stronger, lighter deck and a lower profile. Not to mention a boat that’s a lot easier to clean after a long-distance race. The hand-laid hull is vacuum bagged and is foam cored from the waterline up. There’s solid glass below the waterline.

The deck layout, even with the symmetric spinnaker setup-although the judges agreed that the sprit version would be easier to sail-is ergonomically perfect. The cockpit is comfortable and roomy, even packed with a full crew. The boat also looks great, with a low-profile deckhouse, which still provides excellent headroom below because there’s no headliner). There’s enough headroom for a 6’3″ sailor such as myself.

The judges see this boat as an excellent crossover design, with the ability to be raced both inshore and well offshore, or cruised with the family. Its superb overall quality, ease of handling, performance, and pricing make the A35 a superior boat in its size. Go ahead and look around, there’s not much that can match this package right now.

Pros: Who would’ve thought a boat could sail so sweetly? Now we know. The finish is something rarely seen outside custom boatbuilding.

Cons: It took three years for this beauty to reach the United States.

Designer’s mission accomplished? Joubert/Nivelt was aiming to hit a sweet spot in the IRC rule and hit this one in the bull’s-eye. The A35 comes with a proven record and more than 136 boats sailing in Europe.

The hull of the A35, was the first in the world to be infused under vacuum. Nonetheless, this model is the winner of numerous yachting competition.

$300 Million Yacht of Sanctioned Russian Oligarch Suleiman Kerimov Seized by Fiji at Request of United States

Fijian law enforcement executed a seizure warrant freezing the Motor Yacht Amadea (the Amadea), a 348-foot luxury vessel owned by sanctioned Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov. Fijian law enforcement, with the support and assistance of the FBI, acted pursuant to a mutual legal assistance request from the U.S. Department of Justice following issuance of a seizure warrant from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, which found that the Amadea is subject to forfeiture based on probable cause of violations of U.S. law, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), money laundering and conspiracy.

The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control designated Kerimov as part of a group of Russian oligarchs who profit from the Russian government through corruption and its malign activity around the globe, including the occupation of Crimea. In sanctioning Kerimov, the Treasury Department also cited Kerimov as an official of the Government of the Russian Federation and a member of the Russian Federation Counsel.

According to court documents, Kerimov owned the Amadea after his designation. Additionally, Kerimov and those acting on his behalf and for his benefit caused U.S. dollar transactions to be routed through U.S. financial institutions for the support and maintenance of the Amadea.

“This ruling should make clear that there is no hiding place for the assets of individuals who violate U.S. laws. And there is no hiding place for the assets of criminals who enable the Russian regime,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “The Justice Department will be relentless in our efforts to hold accountable those who facilitate the death and destruction we are witnessing in Ukraine.”

“Last month, I warned that the department had its eyes on every yacht purchased with dirty money,” said Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco. “This yacht seizure should tell every corrupt Russian oligarch that they cannot hide – not even in the remotest part of the world. We will use every means of enforcing the sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war in Ukraine.”

“This seizure demonstrates the FBI's persistence in pursuing sanctioned Russian oligarchs attempting to evade accountability for their role in jeopardizing our national security,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “The FBI, along with our international partners, will continue to seek out those individuals who contribute to the advancement of Russia’s malign activities and ensure they are brought to justice, regardless of where, or how, they attempt to hide.”

“This seizure of Suleiman Kerimov’s vessel, the Amadea, nearly 8,000 miles from Washington, D.C., symbolizes the reach of the Department of Justice as we continue to work with our global partners to disrupt the sense of impunity of those who have supported corruption and the suffering of so many,” said Director Andrew Adams of Task Force KleptoCapture. “This Task Force will continue to bring to bear every resource available in this unprecedented, multinational series of enforcement actions against the Russian regime and its enablers.”

“The U.S. Marshals Service will continue to contribute our expertise in support of Task Force efforts to take possession of seized assets of Russian oligarchs during these forfeiture operations,” said Director Ronald L. Davis of the U.S. Marshals Service. 

The seizure was coordinated through the Justice Department’s Task Force KleptoCapture, an interagency law enforcement task force dedicated to enforcing the sweeping sanctions, export controls, and economic countermeasures that the United States, along with its foreign allies and partners, has imposed in response to Russia’s unprovoked military invasion of Ukraine. Announced by the Attorney General on March 2 and run out of the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, the task force will continue to leverage all of the department’s tools and authorities to combat efforts to evade or undermine the collective actions taken by the U.S. government in response to Russian military aggression.

Upon receipt of a mutual legal assistance request from the United States, Fijian authorities executed the request, obtaining a domestic seizure warrant from a Fijian court.

The Amadea, International Maritime Organization number 1012531, is believed to be worth approximately $300 million or more. The yacht is now in Lautoka, Fiji.

This matter is being investigated by the FBI’s New York Field Office with assistance from the FBI Legal Attaché Office in Canberra, Australia, the Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service, and the U.S. Embassy in Suva, Fiji.

Trial Attorney Andrew D. Beaty of the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section and Trial Attorney Joshua L. Sohn of the Criminal Division’s Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section are handling the seizure. The Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Marshals Service provided significant assistance. The United States thanks the Fijian authorities for their cooperation in this matter.
