Weighing in at as little as 3,000kg, the fact that Cormate works so hard to trim off any unnecessary weight is really important and the use of vacuum-infusion techniques and lots of carbon fibre both play their part in that. But as intimated, the Chase 35 also feels like a subtly luxurious piece of engineering.
The cockpit features a pair of facing settees on either side of a transverse table with delightful stainless steel inlays. That slots neatly away in a dedicated locker when not needed. The aft backrest also folds forward and down to expand the sunbed and the leading edge of the forward bench features a drop-down seat so you can sit two or three people behind the wet bar to face forward underway. As for the wet bar itself, that co*es with a large fridge, a two-ring diesel stove and a cool little sink that makes great use of the space.
The low-slung race-ready helm is superb
The helm is delightful too. It’s very deep-set with a robust reverse screen that wraps around and extends a good way aft. The seats are also very secure with outstanding lateral support and adjustable impact mitigation – and as you would expect of Cormate, the racing throttles and bespoke toggle switches are all present and correct.
You also get a double bow cabin with a separate heads co*partment beneath that raised, cushion-lined foredeck.
It’s not vast but in spite of the swept profile and the narrow beam, it works the volume very effectively. And with lots of pale teak mixed with curved mahogany-faced ply and a glittering pale blue finish to the gel coat, the quality of this offshore performance boat is equally tough to fault.
