About the EVASION 36 (BENETEAU)
The Beneteau Evasion 36 is a Philippe Briand-designed masthead sloop built in France, with production records indicating a single build year of 1990. This model represents a specific era of French cruising yacht design, characterized by a displacement of 12125.0 lb and a beam of 12.63 ft.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over extreme offshore performance, given its moderate comfort ratio of 19.44 and relatively light displacement.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.2 and a displacement of 12125.0 lb, the Evasion 36 is best suited for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than heavy bluewater passagemaking.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau First 36 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36, as they share similar dimensions, production years, and a focus on performance-oriented cruising with spacious interiors.
