The Creala 36 is a rare, heavy-displacement offshore cruiser designed by W.I.B. Crealock and built by Seacraft International (PHL) between 1983 and 1987. With only 9 hulls built, this limited-production vessel is defined by its robust construction and conservative design philosophy.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced bluewater cruisers who prioritize safety and seakeeping over speed, particularly those seeking a cutter-rigged vessel with a full keel for long-distance offshore passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 18797.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.68, and a full/long keel, the Creala 36 is exceptionally well-suited for offshore cruising, offering high stability and comfort in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 36 and the Tartan 36, as they share similar eras, heavy displacement characteristics, and a focus on offshore durability over planing performance.
