About the CREEKMORE 36

The name CREEKMORE 36 loosely describes a small number of hulls, reportedly laid up on a male mold by Ray Creekmore. Some versions had a shallow draft fixed keel. Dimensions are approximate. Also called the CREEKMORE 37 or 38. Probably less than 10 built. Needless to say, dimensions shown here are less than precise.

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Creekmore 36 is a rare, single-year production vessel designed by Ray Creekmore and built in 1960, with an unknown total hull count. This mid-20th-century cruiser features a masthead sloop rig and a full/long keel, representing a distinct era of American boatbuilding.

Best for:
This boat suits traditionalists and coastal cruisers who appreciate classic lines and heavy displacement, though its age and unknown production volume suggest it is best for owners willing to undertake significant restoration.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 14000.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.61, the Creekmore 36 possesses the heavy, stable hull form typical of offshore-capable vessels from this era.
Comparables:
Comparable to other 1960s American full-keel cruisers like the Pearson 36 or O'Day 36, these boats share similar displacement, beam, and traditional cruising characteristics.
