Rules of Inquiry, Offers, Sale:

Serious inquires ONLY. I'm not going to sell this "over the Internet".
You MUST come to Key West to inspect the boat and make the deal (cash).
It is floating on a mooring, so I must take you by dinghy out to see it. It will NOT be brought to a dock unless at buyer's expense (dock space is very expensive in Key West).
There is NO SURVEY. This would be a buyer's expense.
2 boatyards in Key West area can haul this boat - you need to check availability.

Heavy-Displacement Cruising Sailboat - This is the boat you can travel the world with.

Easily managed as a single-hand, but great for a couple too.

If you dream of a boat that can handle the open ocean with grace and strength, this is it!

The Young Sun 35 sailboats were built in Taiwan in the same yards as Tayana 37, Hans Christian 33, Baba 35 – in Europe they were called Westwind 35. It is based on a full-keel, double-ended design from famed navel architect Bob Perry.

This boat was damaged in Hurricane Irma– September 26, 2017. Most damage is superficial fiberglass, exterior wood, bimini and stanchions.
