About the Celeste 36

Finding comprehensive information about the Celeste 36 can be challenging, as this sailboat appears to have been produced in limited numbers or may represent a lesser-documented design from sailing's extensive catalog of production boats. What can be inferred from its designation suggests a mid-sized cruising sailboat likely intended for coastal and near-shore sailing adventures. Based on typical boats of this length category, the Celeste 36 would fall into the popular range for couples or small families seeking a manageable yet capable cruising platform. Boats in this size range typically offer a good balance between interior comfort and sailing performance, making them suitable for weekend getaways, extended coastal cruising, and potentially limited offshore passages depending on the specific design characteristics and build quality. Without detailed specifications readily available, prospective buyers should conduct thorough research into the boat's construction methods, sail plan, and overall condition. The limited documentation surrounding this model means that finding parts, service information, or connecting with other owners may require additional effort compared to more mainstream production sailboats. Careful inspection by a qualified marine surveyor would be particularly important when considering any Celeste 36.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
22.88
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
25.32
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
1.84
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 7.76
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 1.0
