About the METALMAST 36
aka METALMAST 1 TON. Possibly the same or similar to the MARINER 36.
The Metalmast 36 is a rare, single-year production vessel designed by Peter Canning and built by Metalmast Marine (USA) in 1978. With an unknown total hull count, this boat represents a unique entry in the late-1970s market, characterized by its specific dimensions and heavy displacement for its length.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers who prioritize a comfortable motion and robust construction over high-speed performance. Its characteristics appeal to owners seeking a stable, heavy-displacement cruiser rather than a racing machine.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 13000.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.9, the Metalmast 36 exhibits strong offshore stability and suitability for bluewater cruising. Its heavy ballast ratio and fin keel design further support its capability for safe passage in open waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other heavy-displacement cruisers from the late 1970s, such as the Cal 34 or O'Day 36, which share similar beam and displacement characteristics. These vessels are comparable due to their focus on comfort and stability rather than speed.
