Frigate 36

The Frigate 36 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by C&C Design and first built in 1968. It is named in honour of the Frigate warship class.

The Frigate 36 is a development of the 1966 C&C-designed Invader 36, with a stub long keel and centerboard in place of the fixed long keel and with more sail area.

Production
The design was built by Belleville Marine Yard and also by Hinterhoeller Yachts, both part of C&C Yachts, in Canada. They completed 36 examples of the design starting in 1968, but the design is now out of production.

Design
The Frigate 36 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel tiller and a fixed stub long keel, with a centreboard. It displaces 11575 lb and carries 5200 lb of ballast.

The boat has a draft of 7.16 ft with the centreboard extended and 3.58 ft with it retracted.

The boat was factory-fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine. The fuel tank holds 18 u.s.gal and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 25 u.s.gal.

The design has a hull speed of 6.62 kn.
