About the EASTERLY 36
The Easterly 36 is a robust, heavy-displacement cruising sloop designed by Brennan and built by Easterly Yachts in the USA. With a production run limited to 1976 and an unknown total build count, this vessel represents a specific era of American yacht construction focused on durability over speed.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for conservative coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, comfortable platform for short-to-medium offshore passages, rather than high-performance racing or extreme bluewater expeditions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 14500.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.78, the Easterly 36 offers excellent stability and motion comfort, making it capable of offshore cruising despite its age and single-year production run.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels from the mid-1970s include the Cal 36 and O'Day 36, which share similar beam dimensions and masthead sloop configurations, though the Easterly distinguishes itself with a significantly higher displacement of 14500.0 lb.
