Yachting France 36MS
Description
The Yachting France 36 MS (sometimes referred to with a "C" variant, possibly for centerboard or specific configuration) is a classic French fiberglass sailboat from the 1970s–1980s era. Built by Yachting France (which incorporated Jouët production), it was designed by Yves Mareschal, a noted French naval architect known for practical, performance-oriented cruising designs. "MS" likely stands for something like "Motor Sailor" or a model series designation common in French builders of the period (similar to their 33 MS or 43 MS models). It is a relatively rare model today, focused on coastal and occasional offshore cruising with an emphasis on easy handling and good light-air performance thanks to its generous sail plan.
