About the C&L 36
Also called PETERSON 36.
The C&L 36 is a 36.08 ft masthead sloop designed by Doug Peterson and built by C&L Marine Corp (TAIWAN) in 1978. With a displacement of 18000.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 36.93, this vessel represents a specific era of offshore-oriented cruising yachts.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and bluewater adventurers who prioritize a heavy, stable platform with a fin keel and 5.33 ft max draft for offshore passage making.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 18000.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.61, and a fin keel, the C&L 36 is structurally suited for offshore cruising, though its single production year of 1978 limits the breadth of long-term owner feedback.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Cal 36 and O'Day 36, which share similar production eras and dimensions, though the C&L 36 distinguishes itself with a higher displacement of 18000.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.61.
