Owner Experience Review

Owners of the 36CfromERICSON YACHTSdescribe a boat that comfortably bridges family cruising, weekend daysails, and extended coastal passages. The interior is arranged to create three distinct cabins in a 36-foot hull—an aft cabin for parents, a forward V-berth, and a small cabin/navigation area—which many cite as surprisingly livable for kids and guests. The cockpit is notably large, with ample deck real estate that invites social use; as one owner put it, "I like the big cockpit and all the deck real estate for the little skippers too."

On the water, owners report a strong hull and "outstanding" performance for this type, with a seakindly, moderate-to-heavy displacement character (about 17,200 lb, 12 ft beam, comfort ratio ~30.5) and a hull speed near 7.3 knots. They note good form stability and sail-carrying ability, handling trade-wind reaching and moderate seas well for a 36-footer. For longer cruises, many examples have been outfitted with solar, windvanes, and watermakers, while storage—acknowledged as a shortcoming in stock form—can be improved with thoughtful carpentry. Typical vintage maintenance shows up in owner reports: original small Westerbeke diesels requiring routine service or eventual repower, attention to cutless bearings and prop struts, occasional hatch riser arm failures, mast corrosion checks, and standing-rigging renewals; some of these jobs call for haulout or diver time, as expected on 1970s boats.

Pros and Cons

• Three-cabin layout in a 36' hull works well for family cruising and short voyages.
• Seakindly, moderate-to-heavy displacement hull with good form stability and sail-carrying ability.
• Large cockpit and ample deck space suit daysails and social use.
• Storage is limited in stock form and often needs custom carpentry to optimize.
• Typical 1970s-vintage maintenance includes cutless bearing and prop-strut work, hatch riser failures, mast corrosion, and standing-rigging renewals.
• Some underwater repairs and driveline jobs require haulout or diver time, adding cost and planning.
