**Capable, Well-Built Performance Cruiser**

The Yamaha 36 is a well-regarded Japanese-built sailboat that combines practical accommodations and pleasing sailing performance. These boats are known for their solid construction, quality workmanship, and thoughtful systems design. The Yamaha 36 is a moderate-displacement cruiser with an efficient hull form, well-balanced rig, and a sail area-to-displacement ratio that yields very good performance.

**Hull & Construction**

*Grace* is a 1981 model that has spent considerable time in the Great Lakes. Below the waterline, she features a thick, hand-laid solid fiberglass hull with a partial skeg-hung rudder — design choices that enhance directional stability and protection. The fin keel is bolted on and provides 5,600 pounds of ballast.

Yamaha’s fiberglass and joinery work were regarded as superior to their rivals in the sailboat market, and this is evident once aboard *Grace* — her strength belies her age.

On deck, you will find:
– Recently refinished deck (Quantum 99)
– Newer running rigging
