The Islander 36 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom; a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. The fin keel model displaces Шаблон:Convert and carries Шаблон:Convert of lead ballast, while the shoal draft keel model displaces Шаблон:Convert and carries Шаблон:Convert of lead ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of Шаблон:Convert with the standard keel and Шаблон:Convert with the optional shoal draft keel.[1]

A tall mast was also available for sailing in areas with lighter winds.[1]

The boat was fitted with a large variety of inboard engines for docking and maneuvering, including the Universal Atomic 4 and the Palmer P-60 gasoline engines, the British Perkins Engines 4-108, Westerbeke L-25, Pathfinder and Japanese Yanmar diesel engines. The fuel tank holds Шаблон:Convert and the fresh water tank has a capacity of Шаблон:Convert.[1]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settees in the main cabin that can be converted to doubles. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder and is equipped with a three-burner stove and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.[1]

Operational history

The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the Islander 36 Association.[5]

In a 2010 review in Talk of The Dock, stated, "the Islander 36 (I36) is a true classic ... and they’re great boats that will go the distance or race quite impressively"[3]
