The Lancer 36 is an American sailboat that was designed by Bill Lee as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1973. [1] [2]

Contents

In 1982 the boat was reintroduced with a fractional rig as the Lancer 36 FR. [3]

Production

The prototype boat, Chutzpah was built the year before Lancer Yachts was formed and was the impetus for starting the company. [1] [4]

Design

The Lancer 36 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 10,500 lb (4,763 kg) and carries 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) of ballast. [1]

The boat has a draft of 6.00 ft (1.83 m) with the standard keel and 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. [1]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 27 hp (20 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 30 U.S. gallons (110 L; 25 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 50 U.S. gallons (190 L; 42 imp gal). [1]

The design had a number of interior arrangements available. The cruising interior includes sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth around a drop-leaf table in the bow cabin and two aft cabins, each with a double berth. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located opposite the galley on the port side and includes a shower. [1]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical or asymmetrical spinnaker. [5]

Operational history

The prototype boat, Chutzpah, won the Transpacific Yacht Race in both 1973 and 1975. [1]
