Squadron 36
Description
The Squadron 36 is a 36‑foot bluewater cruising sloop designed by R. C. Nierlich & George Hazell and built by Squadron Yachts (Australia) from 1974 to 1983. Approximately 60–70 boats were produced, making it one of Squadron's most successful models. Known for its robust construction, seaworthy hull form, and traditional cruising layout, the Squadron 36 features a modified‑full keel, skeg‑hung rudder, and masthead sloop rig. Its heavy fiberglass layup, deep bilges, excellent tankage, and warm teak interior make it a proven offshore cruiser. The design balances performance with comfort, offering good upwind ability and a stable motion in rough conditions

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.
