About the Robinhood 36

Built from 1992 to 2006 by Robinhood Marine in the United States, this 36-footer represents Carl Alberg's continued commitment to traditional design principles that made him legendary among cruising sailors. With its long keel configuration and cutter rig, the Robinhood 36 embodies the classic characteristics that define serious offshore cruising boats. The design's impressive displacement of 16,000 pounds, combined with 6,050 pounds of ballast and a substantial 5-foot draft, creates exceptional stability and seakindly motion in challenging conditions. The generous beam of 10.67 feet provides ample interior volume while maintaining elegant proportions. A comfort ratio of 34.84 indicates this vessel prioritizes motion comfort over pure speed, making it ideal for extended offshore passages and serious coastal cruising. The fiberglass construction ensures durability, while the cutter rig offers excellent sail handling versatility for shorthanded crews. With a theoretical hull speed of 7.07 knots and a capsize screening value of 1.70, this design strikes an optimal balance between performance and safety. The 39-horsepower auxiliary engine provides reliable mechanical propulsion when needed. This boat appeals to sailors seeking a proven, traditional design capable of handling both coastal adventures and ocean crossings with confidence and comfort.
