The SHARPIE 36 was designed for a client who wanted a fast shallow draft sailboat with traditional sharpie lines. She has an easily driven hull and a sail plan of modest size. A shallow keel and weighted centerboard provide stability for this sharpie to stand on her feet in good wind conditions. Cruising speeds of 7 to 8 knots are possible with a top speed of 9 knots depending on wind. A single 40 hp outboard or a diesel sail drive will push her along making the miles go by on a small amount of fuel. She has twin rudders behind twin skegs. With this configuration she will sit upright if left to dry out on an ebb tide. |
