Cape George 36

Originally launched in 1979, this distinctive 36-footer represents a collaboration between legendary designer William Atkin and Ed Monk, built by the respected Cecil Lange & Son yard. The Cape George 36 stands out as a traditionally-minded cruising sailboat that prioritizes seaworthiness and comfort over racing performance. With its long keel configuration and transom-hung rudder, this design offers exceptional directional stability and tracking ability, making it well-suited for serious coastal and offshore cruising. The cutter rig provides excellent sail handling options and versatility in varying wind conditions, while the substantial displacement of 23,300 pounds and generous ballast ratio ensure a stiff, stable platform that handles heavy weather with confidence. The fiberglass hull paired with traditional wood decking creates an appealing blend of modern durability and classic aesthetics. Her comfort ratio of 47.83 indicates a motion that favors steady, predictable sailing over quick acceleration, while the capsize screening formula of 1.47 demonstrates good stability characteristics for offshore work. This is clearly a boat designed for sailors who value traditional sailing qualities, substantial construction, and long-distance capability over speed or racing potential. The Cape George 36 appeals to cruising sailors seeking a proven, seaworthy design with timeless appeal.
