About the GARRETT 36
The Garrett 36 is a rare, high-performance cruiser designed by Bruce Farr and built by Garrett Marine (USA) in 1982. With a fractional sloop rig and a displacement of 11500.0 lb, this vessel represents a distinct era of American yacht design, though the exact number of hulls built remains unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced sailors seeking a fast, responsive coastal cruiser with a comfortable 18.96 comfort ratio, rather than a heavy bluewater displacement yacht.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.26 and a 6.7 ft max draft, the Garrett 36 is capable of offshore passages, though its 195.97 D/L ratio indicates it is a lighter, more performance-oriented vessel than traditional heavy bluewater cruisers.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other late-1970s and early-1980s performance cruisers like the O'Day 36 or Pearson 36, but distinguished by its Bruce Farr design and lighter 11500.0 lb displacement.
