Boat Description

This fine yacht was designed from the keel up by Carl Alberg to provide the maximum combination of comfort and performance in a yacht of this size.

"Despite the emphasis on ocean cruising capabilities assuring her ability to stand up in a blow, beat to windward or track effortlessly on long downwind runs, the Cape Dory 36 is not intended solely as a single purpose, long distance, passage making yacht.

While powerfully built and heavily rigged for off shore work, she was designed to be equally well suited for the gentle breezes of an afternoon sail or a weekend cruise. The cutter rig with ample sheet and halyard winches, jiffy reefing gear and self-tending, boomed staysail, make her easy to sail single or short handed.

Crews will particularly appreciate the double headsail rig which offers a variety of sail changing and shortening options."
