36 ft Cruiser
Designed by Jay R. Benford
A 36 ft design from Jay Benford's catalog, drawn for plywood construction. One of the small ships, the power range that runs from harbour launches up to freighter yachts.
Benford publishes a displacement of 17,250 lb in coastal cruising trim, which is tanks full with the crew and their stores aboard rather than a shipping weight. Plans are sold to owner-builders, and study plans are sold separately for anyone wanting to look before committing.
What building a 36 ft Cruiser actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
