Union Polaris 36 (EO 36)
Description
The Union 36 (also known as Union Polaris 36, Mariner Polaris 36, EO 36, or closely related to the Hans Christian 36) is a heavy-displacement, full-keel, double-ended cutter designed by Robert Perry. It was built by Union Yacht Co. (Taiwan) from the late 1970s to 1988, with around 160 hulls produced. This boat is a classic example of 1970s–80s Taiwan-built cruising yachts — rugged, teak-trimmed, and built for serious bluewater passages rather than speed or light-air performance. It shares its hull lines with the Hans Christian 36 (a stretched version of Perry’s earlier Hans Christian 34), though interiors and fit-out vary slightly between brands (Union versions are often more utilitarian; Hans Christian ones can be more opulent with higher-grade teak).
