About the ATLANTIS 36
Designed by Angelo Lavranos and built in 1985, the Atlantis 36 is a rare vessel with only 23 hulls produced. This limited production run creates a unique market position for this 36.09 ft masthead sloop, requiring buyers to rely heavily on detailed owner reports due to the scarcity of fleet-wide data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and those seeking a distinctive, custom-feel design who are prepared for significant maintenance. Its 11243.0 lb displacement and 11.35 ft beam offer stability, but the high frequency of structural reports suggests it is best for owners with technical skills or budgets for major repairs.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.03 and a fin keel, the Atlantis 36 has theoretical offshore stability, but critical reports of deck core moisture and compression post rot significantly undermine its bluewater readiness without extensive structural refurbishment.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 1980s European designs like the Beneteau First 36 or O'Day 36, which share similar dimensions and era-specific construction methods. However, the Atlantis 36's specific Lavranos design and extremely low build count of 23 make it less directly comparable to mass-produced contemporaries.
