Mariner 36 Sloop (Canning)

Mariner 36 Sloop (Canning)

Description

The Mariner 36 (specifically the sloop version, often called Mariner 36 Sloop or Mariner 36 (Canning)) is a solid, full-bodied coastal cruiser-racer designed by Peter Canning and built in fiberglass by Mariner Yacht Co. (Epping, New Hampshire, USA) from 1978 to 1983, with 84 hulls produced. It features a fin keel with rudder on skeg for balanced handling and protection, a masthead sloop rig for straightforward sail management and good all-around performance, and a comfortable interior with good headroom and storage suited for family cruising or extended coastal passages—known for its sturdy construction, dry ride, and reliable seaworthiness in moderate conditions, though it's moderate in very light air.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
