Designed by the renowned Canadian firm C&C and built by Belleville Marine in 1968, this 35.67-foot sailboat represents classic late-1960s design philosophy with a focus on performance cruising. With only 36 hulls produced, the Frigate 36 Cc remains a relatively rare find in today's market, making it an intriguing option for sailors seeking something distinctive. The boat's masthead sloop rig and fiberglass construction reflect the era's transition toward modern materials and efficient sail plans. Her keel/centerboard configuration offers versatility, allowing access to shallow waters while maintaining the stability and tracking of a keeled hull in deeper conditions. The substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio of nearly 45% provides excellent stability and sea-keeping capabilities. With a moderate displacement of 11,575 pounds and 511 square feet of sail area, this boat strikes a balance between cruising comfort and sailing performance. The comfort ratio of 29.19 suggests she'll provide a relatively comfortable motion in seaways, while the capsize screening formula of 1.81 indicates good stability characteristics suitable for coastal cruising and potentially light offshore work. Her hull speed of 6.62 knots is typical for this size range, making her well-suited for weekend cruising and club racing alike.
