About the Cabot 36 Sailboat

Designed by the renowned team of Ted Brewer and Robert Walstrom, this Canadian-built cruiser emerged in 1974 as a serious offshore sailing yacht. With only 49 hulls produced by Cabotcraft Industries, the Cabot 36 represents an exclusive entry in the world of blue-water cruising boats. The yacht's substantial 17,800-pound displacement and healthy ballast-to-displacement ratio provide the stability and sea-kindly motion essential for extended offshore passages. Her cutter rig configuration offers exceptional versatility in varying wind conditions, allowing crews to balance sail area effectively while maintaining excellent windward performance. The fin keel with rudder on skeg arrangement delivers responsive handling while providing better protection for the rudder than a spade configuration. Ted Brewer's influence is evident in the boat's seaworthy proportions and robust construction. The moderate beam of 11.67 feet contributes to comfortable motion in a seaway, while the 4.75-foot draft strikes a practical balance between performance and harbor accessibility. Her comfort ratio of 33.17 places her firmly in blue-water cruising territory, suggesting she'll handle rough conditions with composure. This yacht appeals primarily to serious cruising sailors who prioritize seaworthiness over speed, making her an excellent choice for coastal exploration and ocean passages alike.
