The 1d 35 is a 10.7-meter fractional sloop designed by Nelson Marek and built by Carroll Marine Ltd. between 1998 and 2001. This racing sailboat features a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull, a carbon mast with twin swept-back spreaders, and a hydraulically adjustable forestay for rig tension control. It displaces 2971 kg and has a 2.3-meter draft. The 1d 35 was originally delivered for one-design racing and has an IRC rating. Aboard *Quantum Sails*, sailors used a smartphone camera to digitize sail shape data, including draft depth, draft position, entry angle, and exit angle, correlating it with rig settings like jib lead, halyard tension, and sheet trim to optimize performance.1:00 The *Berthon International* channel toured a 35-foot Spirit of Joyride, a 1990s sport boat that now functions as a Spirit of Tradition racer, incorporating a wooden veneered transom, a varnished deckhouse, a new Lombardini inboard engine, and a carbon bowsprit.1:16
