The Gozzard 36 is a semi-custom cutter-rigged cruiser designed by Ted Gozzard and built by North Castle Marine in Belleville, Ontario, from 1985 to 1998. Approximately 90 hulls were completed, each featuring the traditional Gozzard hallmarks: heavy fiberglass layup, teak-trimmed interiors, and meticulous fit and finish that Canadian builders were renowned for in that era. At 36 feet LOA with a displacement of 18,150 pounds and a fin keel with skeg-hung rudder, the Gozzard 36 is a stiff, comfortable cruiser that punches well above her length in seakeeping. She has developed a devoted following among Great Lakes and East Coast cruisers who value quality construction and understated elegance over production-boat pricing.
