Specifications L.O.A.: 36' 1 1/2" L.W.L.: 27' 0" Beam: 10' 8" Draft: 5' 0" Displacement: 16,100 lbs. Ballast: 6,050 lbs Sail Area: 622 sq. ft. Mast Height: 46 1/2' Designer: Carl Alberg Years Built 1978 - 1990 Nr. Built 165

The flagship of our line is the Cape Dory 36. 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.

The standard 36 is Cutter rigged, and is powered by a 4-cylinder diesel auxiliary. She has 6 berths, and carries 132 gals. of water, 43 gals. of diesel fuel, and is a true blue water cruiser.

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. Husband and wife crews will particularly appreciate the double headsail rig which offers a variety of sail changing and shortening options.

Her interior layout is extremely comfortable and her joiner work is Cape Dory’s finest.
