Sirius 35DS

• August 26, 2010

Chris Beeson challenges you to see beyond the somewhat individual looks and explore the most impressive cruiser we’ve ever tested.

Product Overview

Overall rating:, manufacturer:, price as reviewed:.

It’s the highest score we’ve ever awarded, by some distance, and it reflects the wealth of ideas, craftsmanship and pride built into this extraordinary yacht. She’s expensive, but for a yacht of this quality, she’s actually very good value. For some, her looks will be an issue, but yachts are built to sail – if you want something to look at, buy a painting. As a custom-built, luxury cruising yacht, you’d struggle to match her.

Sirius 35DS – tested and reviewed

Sirius Yachts’ innovative ‘double-decker’ range of yachts continues to surprise, as Sam Jefferson discovered when he took its 35DS out for a spin

I t’s a hideous cliché to say that the German nation as a whole has gained a reputation for being both thorough and efficient when it comes to working methods. I imagine it must get pretty tedious for Germans themselves, but if they want to put a stop to such shocking stereotyping, they should think about not producing yachts like the Sirius 35DS. This is a yacht so meticulously thought out and relentlessly clever in its use of space that a tour of the yacht will have you repeatedly cooing with pleasure and surprise as the next innovation or clever touch is revealed.

What makes this even more surprising is that the Sirius 35 has actually been in production since 2011, yet she still seems far ahead of her time in so many ways and perhaps the reason for this is because boatbuilder Sirius Werft has always approached the concept of designing a cruising yacht from a slightly different angle. The basic premise behind all yachts in the Sirius range is that a deck saloon is not a crime against yachting, it is the solution to many woes aboard. This explains the somewhat individual looks of all the yachts in the Sirius range and it will later explain the rather baffling amount of volume inside.

In terms of keel configurations, you have a baffling array of options including standard fin keel, swing keel with twin rudders and also – a real rarity these days – bilge keels.

Sit yourself down in the cosy, deep cockpit with comfortably angled coamings replete with halyard storage moulded into the forward and you feel immediately at home in a space you know has been meticulously thought out. The Jefa steering is of the canting wheel variety, making for the most efficient use of space possible and the mainsheet is perched atop the cockpit table in precisely the spot you need it to be. All of the sail controls are run back to a set of clutches on the deckhead and there is an option of an electric winch here to take the strain out of raising the mainsail. The standard sail plan features a self-tacking jib which makes this a simple yacht for single or doublehanding, but can tend to leave the 35 a little underpowered in light airs. The solution is the option of a large genoa or gennaker set on a short overhanging sprit. This adds a very important extra string to your bow, so to speak. The side decks are a tad narrower than I am used to, but you have to bear in mind that this is a 35 foot yacht.

It’s when you head down below that the surprises start to come thick and fast; in fact to even say ‘down below’ is grossly unfair because the deck saloon concept means you stay on the same level once you walk into the saloon. This is one of the key features of the design concept; Sirius wanted to keep the yacht as sociable as possible, meaning that when you head indoors, you are still on the same level and in touch with the crew in the cockpit. This means that to port is a large comfortable seating area with incredible panoramic views thanks to the wraparound windows. To starboard and still at cockpit level is a chart table and indoor steering position. There is no wheel, just a small joystick hooked up to the autopilot which works very well and could certainly take a good deal of the misery and hard work out of night watches – especially as the swivel chair you’re seated in is very comfortable. Step down a level and you’re in the linear galley but, given that you stand up to cook, you’re still at the same eye level as everyone from the helmsman in the cockpit to those sitting at the saloon table.

The huge bulletproof portlights, almost at water level, provide an amazing view. Forward there’s another double berth. The heads and separate shower compartment are shared by both cabins.

All very well, but the big question was whether she would sail? This part of the test was given an added edge given that the model I tested had bilge keels which, back in the day, would have meant an awful lot of leeway.

Happily, times have changed and the rise of CAD design has seen great leaps forward in bilge keel design, meaning that these days a pair of well designed keels acting in tandem can be mightily effective and so it proved to be as the yacht pointed very effectively. The Jefa steering was nice and precise and the canting wheel meant there were plenty of comfortable places to sit and steer while visibility was surprisingly good given the size of that deckhouse.

Under power she was extremely sympathetic and there is an argument that the ease of manoeuvrability means the optional bow thrusters are rather unnecessary.

The Sirius 35DS is a truly excellent and versatile cruising yacht that remains as clever and innovative now as at the time of her launch. This is a yacht for someone who knows exactly what they’re after, and the high degree of customisation allowed means you can tailor it precisely to your needs. The only real sticking points are those individual looks which will not be to everyone’s taste and the fact that all of this excellent quality and thoughtful design does come at a bit of a premium.
