About the LIPPINCOTT 36
The Lippincott 36 is a 1985-built masthead sloop designed by Howard Lippincott Jr. and constructed by Riverton Boat Works in the USA. With a displacement of 12500.0 lb and a beam of 11.08 ft, it represents a substantial, heavy-displacement cruising platform from the mid-1980s.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal and nearshore cruisers who prioritize stability and comfort over high-speed performance, given its high comfort ratio of 24.68 and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio of 18.07.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.91 and a displacement of 12500.0 lb, the hull form suggests good offshore stability, though the single production year of 1985 limits the breadth of long-term bluewater ownership data.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 34 and O'Day 35, as they share similar beam dimensions, heavy displacement characteristics, and a focus on comfortable, stable cruising rather than racing performance.
