The Dehler 36 SQ is a performance-oriented fractional sloop designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built by Dehler, with production records indicating a build year of 2001. While the exact total hull count is unspecified in the available data, this model represents a specific iteration of Dehler's racing-focused lineup from the early 2000s.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for active coastal cruisers and club racers who prioritize speed and handling over heavy bluewater comfort, given its low D/L ratio of 181.13 and high SA/D ratio of 20.27.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.9 and a comfort ratio of 25.13, the Dehler 36 SQ is designed for coastal and offshore racing rather than heavy bluewater cruising, offering speed at the expense of motion comfort.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Nauticat 36 and Beneteau First 36.5, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, lightweight displacement characteristics, and a focus on performance sailing from the same era.
