Texas One Ton Carter 36

Dick Carter's Texas One Ton design emerged in 1974 as a purpose-built racing yacht that exemplified the International Offshore Rule era's pursuit of speed and performance. With only 40 hulls produced by Plastrend USA, this 35.50-foot masthead sloop represents a relatively rare find for sailors seeking a piece of offshore racing history. Built using C-Flex fiberglass construction, the Carter 36 features the designer's signature fin keel and spade rudder configuration, delivering exceptional pointing ability and responsiveness. The generous 624 square feet of sail area combined with a displacement of 12,323 pounds creates a spirited performer that rewards skilled helmsmanship. Her 6.30-foot draft and narrow 29.90-foot waterline reflect pure racing DNA, prioritizing speed over accommodation. While designed for the competitive One Ton circuit, this yacht translates beautifully to serious coastal cruising and club racing. The low comfort ratio of 23.05 indicates minimal creature comforts but maximum sailing excitement. Her capsize screening value of 2.01 suggests she's best suited for experienced sailors who appreciate her demanding nature. For those seeking an authentic slice of 1970s racing heritage with genuine offshore capability, the Texas One Ton offers uncompromising performance wrapped in classic Carter design philosophy.
