Huromic Metal Industries established itself as a premier Canadian builder capable of translating complex naval architecture into exceptionally strong metal hulls.

Working closely with world class designers, Huromic Metal Industries helped pioneer advanced metal construction techniques in North America. Their commitment to high standards of welding, fit, and finish earned them a respected reputation among experienced bluewater sailors seeking ultimate peace of mind. Today, yachts built by Huromic remain highly sought after by discerning mariners who value true structural reliability.

THE BOAT – THE GODERICH 35 STEEL CUTTER

The Goderich 35 is one of the most celebrated designs from the drawing board of legendary naval architect Ted Brewer. Famous for pioneering the soft radius rounded chine design, this model proved that a steel sailboat could possess both incredible strength and graceful visual appeal. Brewer himself considered the Goderich 35 among his absolute favorite designs due to its remarkable sea kindly nature and proven offshore pedigree.

This vessel's legendary reputation is backed by extraordinary history, including Marvin Creamer's famous instrument free global circumnavigation aboard a Goderich 35, as well as Ed Arnold's double rounding of Cape Horn. The soft radius bilge allows the hull to slice through heavy seas smoothly, earning a reputation for sailing like a dream in rough weather while heaving to effortlessly when conditions demand it.

Equipped with a classic cutter rig, the Goderich 35 offers flexible, easily managed sail plans that adapt seamlessly from light breeze to heavy blows. The double headsail configuration provides balanced performance, allowing sailors to comfortably maintain impressive speeds, frequently exceeding 8 knots. The deep, ocean going cockpit and insulated steel hull offer unmatched safety and comfort whether navigating the Great Lakes or crossing oceans.

Below decks, the Goderich 35 showcases traditional craftsmanship with rich teak joinery, functional layout, and excellent storage. Designed specifically for liveaboard comfort and blue water passage making, the interior features a sea friendly U-shaped galley, full sized navigation station, dedicated wet locker, and private forward cabin. It represents the quintessential proper yacht for sailors seeking true freedom on the water.
