Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 20 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 20
CoastalBluewater

2.07 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.07
LightHeavy

132 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 132
EasygoingPowered-up

19.5 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 19.5
TenderStiff

31% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 31%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

What the fleet has seen

The Viko S 35, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Viko S 35 is a 12.0-meter fractional sloop designed by Sergio Lupoli and built by Viko Yachts in Poland since 2019. It features a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull, a 3.7-meter beam, and a 1.9-meter draft, displacing 6099 kg. The Viko S 35 is notable for its competitive pricing, starting at 116,000 euros.7:34 The design includes inboard jib tracks and a cockpit-sole mainsheet traveler, which aids single-handed sailing.0:24 Aboard *Practical Sailor*, the boat's single rudder caused it to round up in higher winds, requiring early reefing.8:25 The interior offers a three-cabin layout with light oak veneer, but lacks overhead handholds and fiddles.3:18 Maintenance access is challenging due to a heavy companionway hatch without gas springs and a full headliner pan obscuring deck hardware.4:20 The engine room is tight and uninsulated, housing an optional 20 or 30 hp engine, or a standard 15-horsepower Yanmar engine that may struggle against strong currents.5:02
