Designed by Ray Creekmore in 1960, this 36-footer represents early fiberglass construction during sailing's transition from wood to modern materials. Built by various manufacturers over the years, the design showcases classic proportions with a 30-foot waterline and substantial 7-foot draft that provides excellent stability and upwind performance. The boat's keel/centerboard configuration offers versatility for both deep water sailing and shallow anchorages, while the masthead sloop rig delivers straightforward sail handling. With 14,000 pounds of displacement and 5,000 pounds of ballast, this design prioritizes seaworthiness over pure speed, making it well-suited for serious coastal cruising and offshore passages. The comfort ratio of 33.13 indicates a motion that favors stability over quick response to waves, while the capsize screening value of 1.61 suggests good stability characteristics for extended cruising. These numbers point to a boat designed for covering miles safely rather than winning races. The Creekmore 36's hull speed potential of 7.34 knots provides respectable passage-making ability. This design appeals to sailors seeking a traditional feel with proven seaworthiness, though finding examples may require patience given the varied production history across multiple builders.
