About the Mumm 36 Sailboat

Designed by Bruce Farr and first launched in 1993, this French-bred performance cruiser represents a successful balance between racing capability and comfortable coastal sailing. With 120 hulls built under license by Carroll Marine, the Mumm 36 carved out a respected niche in the competitive 36-foot market during the 1990s. The boat's composite construction and modern underbody featuring a fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration deliver impressive sailing performance. Her fractional sloop rig and generous sail area of 644 square feet provide excellent light-air performance, while the relatively deep 7.33-foot draft ensures good windward ability. The SA/Displacement ratio of 25.53 confirms this is a boat that rewards skilled helmsmanship with spirited performance. At 8,150 pounds displacement with 3,500 pounds of ballast, the Mumm 36 offers reasonable stability for coastal cruising and club racing. The low comfort ratio of 14.22 reflects her performance-oriented nature rather than cruising luxury, while the capsize screening value of 2.36 suggests she's best suited for protected waters and coastal sailing rather than extended offshore passages. Her 18-horsepower auxiliary provides adequate auxiliary power for maneuvering in tight quarters.
