1975 Islander 36
With nearly 800 boats built this was one of the most successful models from Islander Yachts.
Alan Gurney’s objective in the design of the I36 was to create a “36-foot yacht that would be a competitive machine but also could cruise a family comfortably.” Since Gurney was also responsible for go fast classics like Windward Passage, Guinevere and Great Britain II, the I36 racing pedigree was guaranteed. The I36 is easy to handle and can manage heavy air and big swells with ease. It’s a fast and stiff boat, with a 40-percent ballast to displacement ratio and even 30 years later, she will still hold her own on the race course. The I36 will do eight knots and practically steer herself in 20 to 30 knot winds without being overpowered, though it can feel a little sluggish in light air.
The layout below begins with a sizeable V-berth and a head/shower combination to port. In the salon, there are two straight settees to port and starboard separated with a table that folds up to the bulkhead to create a feeling of spaciousness. An L-shaped galley to starboard has a double sink and a three burner LPG stove. To port there’s a nav station, and the quarter berth behind it forms a seat.
There are a good number of drawers and plenty of louvered and caned lockers throughout. Islander 36s came standard with an icebox although some owners chose the Adler Barbour refrigeration that was an option, or upgraded on their own later.
Hands down, the best feature of the interior are the companionway steps that are truly steps as opposed to a ladder and are easy to maneuver. They also make a great seat when extra bodies are below for cocktails.
