The SHE 36 is a British sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as an International Offshore Rule Three-Quarter Ton class racer-cruiser and first built in 1977. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

The SHE 36 is a development of Sparkman & Stephens' design 2166, with the rudder moved aft, giving a longer waterline, a deep keel and other changes. The basic Sparkman & Stephens' design 2166 is also used by the Aura A35, Hughes 35 and the North Star 1500. ^{[1] [2]}

Production

The design was built by South Hants Engineering in the United Kingdom, starting in 1977, but it is now out of production. ^{[1] [2] [5] [6]}

Design

The SHE 36 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed swept fin keel. It displaces 14,580 lb (6,613 kg) and carries 5,400 lb (2,449 kg) of lead ballast. ^{[1] [2]}

The boat has a draft of 6.30 ft (1.92 m) with the standard keel. ^{[1] [2]}

The boat is fitted with a Danish Bukh A/S diesel engine of 20 hp (15 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 26 U.S. gallons (98 L; 22 imp gal). ^{[1] [2]}

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees and a pilot berth in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a single berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side at the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. ^{[1] [2]}

The design has a hull speed of 7.28 kn (13.48 km/h). ^[2]

Operational history

The boat was supported by an active class club, the IOR 3/4 Ton Class, which organized racing events until its demise in 1994. ^{[7] [8]}
